Jeanie coaches students for auditions for film, television and theater.  Most clients are referred by agents and managers or by current students. Particulars: Admission: I make appointments for new actors as my schedule allows.  Ideally, I like to meet with a new student for 20 minutes or so, free of charge, so that I can get a sense of whether or not I can be helpful to you, and vice versa. Schedule: Monday - Saturday, daytime and evening, by appointment. Location: In my studio at my home in Toluca Lake. Cost: $90 per session.  Sessions are an hour and a half, 15 minutes of that is my prep on your material; we meet to work for an hour and 15 mintues. $75 per session for the second or third coaching hour in any given week. $75 per session for any student who is also taking one of my classes. $50 per hour for auditions for waiver theater and/or student films. $50 per half hour.  Half hour sessions are an option for actors I’ve worked with previously, for call-backs, or for very short audition scenes.

"As artists, what you have to do is conjure the promise of what is behind the text.  It is like a dollar bill.  A dollar bill is absolutely nothing; the piece of gold it represents - that's the thing that has value.  In the same way, it is not interesting when your acting is stronger that the life it represents.  You must have that kind of promise, that kind of frustration, within you of the myriad of things you want to do, but the text only lets you do one.  It is that kind of promise that makes for good acting.  Good actors are always unfinished actors, they always have something more they want to do than they ever really get to do in the scene.  The moment they accomplish what they want to do, they stop being good actors.  Great acting is not about accomplishment, it is about a promise." - Nikos Psacharopoulos
