Curious about working directly with me? Set up a free strategy session and find out if you're a fit: bit.ly/20withsarah My classes are for actors who are serious about working on their craft, who care deeply about storytelling and are ready to be challenged. Please do not reserve a time unless you know you can make it.

I know firsthand how easy it is to worry about burdening others with my stuff, but I’m also learning that my hardest challenges usually turn out to be my biggest areas of growth and ultimately, big gifts.. Your “stuff”is what makes you different from every other actor, and what enriches your work and the stories you tell. Being honest about where you are is vulnerable, but it’s everything. Vulnerability is your acting superpower. And it takes focus and practice.

I have seen so many actors struggle with allowing their honest, naked selves to show up. I used to be one of those actors. When your real life emotions come up, don’t run. (Easier said than done, I know!) Allow them, feel them. Don’t hang onto the story, but let it be felt as a pure physical experience.

Check out this conversation we had in class about finding a perspective shift on tough emotions.

I’m Sarah and what I do best is help actors get out of their heads and into the moment so they can book big jobs and tell stories that matter. We offer Zoom classes, private Zoom coaching sessions, audition coaching/prep, special workshops and on-set / performance consultant packages. Find out if you are a fit: bit.ly/20withsarah
