PRIVATE COACHING

Melissa Bruder offers private audition & acting coaching, available to all actors, regardless of whether they have studied Practical Aesthetics.  Auditioning requires a separate set of skills in addition to acting. Using elements of the Practical Aesthetics technique, you will learn to make strong choices by analyzing the script for clear, playable objectives that you can bravely commit to, creating your own unique version of any character. Melissa has helped numerous actors to nail their auditions, from the moment they “walk in the door” to bringing their best interpretation of the scene or monologue, to incorporating suggestions from the casting agent, auditioner or director, all abilities which make you the actor everyone wants to work with!

Melissa is a sought-after professional performance, dialogue, and dialect coach and has worked on numerous Australian film & television productions, including La Brea, Netflix series Clickbait and The Unlisted, Reckoning, The Water Diviner (Dir. Russell Crowe), The Peter Allen Story/Not the Boy Next Door (Ch. 7), CAMP! (NBC/Matchbox), House Husbands (Ch. 9), The Code, The Devil's Playground, Killer Elite (Feature, w/ Aden Young), The Straits (ABC /Matchbox), and My Place (ABC.)
