Anne teaches actors to fearlessly search for the truth. Her technique combines remaining present, exploring personal experience, intense self-examination, along with the use of imagination and vocal training. An actor needs to understand himself in order to personalize effectively. Every character is part of who the actor is. With her astute sense of the human condition, Anne inspires actors to take courageous risks, both in performance and auditioning. She believes to be a working actor one must excel in being authentic under imaginary circumstances defined by the text. Anne’s private fine-tune coaching offers a tailor-made focus on the specific needs of the actor.
