Acting Coach for Kids & Teens

Dana is very passionate about validating a child's artistic pursuits, and works hard to help them achieve their goals. She coaches kids & teens for professional auditions in TV, Film, and Theater, and also frequently works with 8th & 9th graders to prepare them for their performing arts high school auditions (LaGuardia High School, Frank Sinatra, PPAS, Talent Unlimited, etc). As an alum of LaGuardia's Drama Department, Dana has first hand experience with its audition process, and how to craft a student's total presentation. She assists in choosing appropriate audition material, rehearsing the material, as well as preparing for all possible occurrences during the audition that could throw an actor off their game.
Dana also coaches for college theater school auditions.

In addition, Dana provides guidance about the acting business to parents of child actors. She advises on how to communicate with agents and managers, which headshots to use, what to wear for auditions, and anything else that could come up for a parent.

"I can’t recommend Dana more! She coaches my son Jacob and we are sure that her knowledge, input and instinct is what has helped propel Jacob’s career!" - Shari Fox Laval
