Lauren considers you to be the expert on YOU!
Whether you are a working/experienced actor who has studied every technique on the planet, or you are newer to the process, Lauren will approach you from where you currently are.
She defines you by what you reveal and guides you to access your power in such a way that you will grow at a very accelerated rate and be able to effortlessly reveal more.
YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED and have the opportunity to take great risks. As a result you will become braver, more open and more creative. You will therefore be more colorful, complex and more interesting to watch, as well as more castable.
Regardless of your level, you will be introduced to thought-provoking new concepts, exercises and approaches in order to further layer your work.
In the scene study section of class, Lauren uses strong, contemporary, tested material from powerful, published plays by great playwrights, with complicated and textured characters. You will be required to prepare with a scene partner in independent rehearsals.
​
You will also participate in at least an hour of Lauren's Special "Mak'in a Movie" improvisation as an opening warm-up.
There can also be an opportunity for you to work on your monologues and upcoming audition pieces. Cold reads, with material from television and film, are also worked on in class. You will work in EVERY class.
The best part is that we have a great deal of fun in the process. This can be a very difficult profession, so you might as well enjoy yourself!

When should you coach with Lauren?
For Important Auditions
No matter how large or small the role, you MUST be working at a competitive level if you want to book the job. The majority of performers you consider your competition, who work consistently, coach for every audition. They walk in sharp sharp sharp, so you have to be confident and SURE that what you’re doing will work as well. Even if you don’t book that job, you want to leave a lasting impression on the casting people that is good, if not great, whether live, in your tape, or in the zoom box.
To Prepare Scenes
In preparing a scene for showcases, agency meetings, or events of that nature, coaching (or having the scene directed) is always recommended. Even if you don't have the cooperation of your scene partner, Lauren can work with your half of the scene. There is a good reason why a director plays a primary role in the success of every project that exists. Self-directing almost NEVER works. It is very difficult to be objective when you are inside the scene. A keen outside eye is crucial in offering guidance and detecting important details that you might miss. This could mean the difference between acquiring representation or not.
To Locate & Master Triggers
You will develop AMAZING tools that can be at your fingertips on the job and when auditioning. These tools will stay with you and benefit you for years to come. It is also another area where working with Lauren can get pretty profound. You will learn processes that are not for the weak. While you will go pretty deep in the audition and scene work, coaching is PERSONAL core work for you. You will unlock specific blocks and gain more self awareness in order to fully express yourself. You can explore complicated material and discover how to tap into what most people in other professions might call “issues”. Lauren calls this "buried treasure". This work is emotional, risky, and takes great courage. It is very, very powerful and could change your life. This can be done effectively from anywhere in the world now.

Improvisation
This program is part of the class
ONLINE COACHING
with option to self tape
The Improvisations in Lauren’s classes are designed to:
-Eliminate fear
-Improve your focus
-Manage nervous energy
-Expand your creative thinking
-Encourage your active listening
-Enhance your ability to multi-task on set
-Work on various characters, including ones with physical and mental challenges
- Create high comedy characters that are grounded
-Allow you to detail believable relationships, environments, and circumstances
-Remain open and spontaneous
These are important skills because most commercial auditions and many film and TV projects these days are improvised and you must commit to characters and circumstances, no matter how absurd.
This work also allows Lauren to gauge your strengths and weaknesses when you are not bogged down by a script in hand.
Plus, we have an absolute blast in the process!
​
ABOUT the process:
The "Makin' a Movie" format was developed by Lauren as an opening exercise that facilitates the growth of all of the necessary tools an actor needs. They will be prepared to go out into the world of acting with full-bodied, head to toe, walking and talking, multitasking performances, in any genre.
​
Truly a method, when brought to its highest level it can expand any actor seeking growth, in ways that are limitless. Rooted in truth, actors are encouraged to commit and push the envelope, make the unbelievable believable, and have a whole lot of fun while doing it!

** For alumni; inquire directly with Lauren
Lauren has been way ahead of the curve, coaching online with her working on set clients and international students, for years now.
Lauren offers online coaching using Skype, FaceTime, Facebook chat, or Zoom. We recommend Zoom because as a bonus, it has the feature to record and we can provide a video of the entire session to look back at notes and discoveries made while coaching.
Additionally, if your audition requires a self-tape submission, you supply the camera and lighting on your end, Lauren supplies the guidance to help you achieve a perfect tape!
This means for the same price as her powerful coaching, she is also skilled in helping you frame, light, and tape your audition since she has been doing this for years now.
Self Tape Services
Sessions are booked by the hour
Stand out from the other submissions. Taping with Lauren while coaching provides an added benefit. This way you are sure to have Lauren’s keen eye on your performance from start to finish and the wealth of knowledge Lauren knows about the quality of tape a casting director expects to receive. Why not get the tape "in the can" while dissecting and perfecting the material with Lauren.
