I contacted Julia at the recommendation of the MT parents FB page to help my high school freshman with her monologues. She needed two contemporary monologues for her upcoming summer intensive, but wasn't feeling the ones that she had used in the past! Tricky part was that she had only two weeks to pick and prepare these two monologues to be performance ready! We reached out to Julia and she was a true miracle worker! She generated a fantastic book with contemporary and classical monologue choices (dramatic and comedic) for Ainsley within 24 hours, which was an invaluable long-term resource. Then, she worked with Ainsley for the next two weeks perfecting the two monologue choices that resonated with Ainsley. Julia helped Ainsley develop her own voice and choices, while simultaneously working with her to ground and specify her acting. Most importantly, Julia managed to do all of this while remaining continually positive, encouraging, and fun. Not only did Ainsley grow and develop from these sessions, but she also truly enjoyed every moment of her coaching and mentorship with Julia. I would highly recommend Julia to any parent or student looking for additional support and coaching from a thoughtful, committed, and supportive actor!

Julia is a wonderful acting coach! She picked out really interesting and age-appropriate pieces for me to work on and gave me great direction. She really helped me prepare for auditions and gave me confidence I needed. She was also very sweet and supportive I really enjoyed working with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a coach!

We hired Julia to help Maddie with her acting skills to prepare for high school and college auditions. She was amazing! I could definitely see a drastic improvement in Maddie’s preparation, timing and emotion with her delivery of lines, and character development. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an acting coach!

As the parent of an aspiring actor, one who was going through the process of college auditions, I found Julia wonderful to work with! She took the time to first get to know my daughter, and individualized her coaching to fit the needs and talents of my daughter. She was incredibly flexible to work with, especially since we were in different time zones. I would highly recommend working with Julia!
