"David takes who you are and brightens it, focuses it... I was accepted into every school I applied to after working with David" - Alexandra Henrikson, Yale School of Drama

Grad School Auditions - 1on1 MFA/Acting School Audition Prep

 Having attended NYU's Graduate Acting Program, and gone through the MFA Audition madness himself, David thrives off of helping each actor feel great about their acting school auditions. For over 10 years David has been helping cut through the craziness and get actors to do what they're best at: bringing their brilliant work to a space. The confusion, anxiety, and overwhelm of prepping for acting conservatory auditions can drive you mad. David will help guide you through the entire process, and get you to present the most complete, alive, talented, unique, human, expansive version of yourself. 
PIECES  Beginning with the piece selection process, David will get you confidently armed with your primary and backup pieces so that your range, and most importantly, your brilliant individuality will shine through.

​THE WORK  The heart of the work will be on uncovering your own sense of truth and presence in the material. Using various methods (from Michael Chekhov to Hagen, Adler, Stanislavksy to Improv and NYU Grad Technique) there will be no stopping until you feel confident, alive and spontaneous with the monologues you will be performing.

DAY-OF PREP  Lastly, David will prep you for everything "Day-Of." This includes mock auditions, interviews and concentration/relaxation work for the potentially endless waiting room game. David wants to make sure you have all the tools to navigate all that arises day-of, so that once you step into the room, your work and most importantly you yourself shine through.
