PRIVATE COACHING is available for beginners or seasoned professionals.

Sybil Lines is available for one-on-one coaching whether actors are seeking entrance to drama school, auditioning for regional theatres, or are seasoned professionals preparing sides for television or Broadway.  She encourages the exploration of needs that prompt a character to speak, the detective work of analyzing the use of a specific word and what the character is aiming to shift in the listener’s mind.  Mining the variety within a monologue will show-off range and rehearsing different approaches to a script will prepare an actor for the director’s requirements.  British dialects or European accents can be particularly daunting if there is little time to prepare.  If necessary, Sybil can help identify the basic idiosyncrasies of such accents while supporting work on character development.  How the characters speak should never overwhelm what they are saying.

Fee for Private Coaching is $60 for a 90 Minute Session, and you provide or cover the cost of a small room. To arrange a session, email SYBIL@SYBILLINES.COM
