Private Coaching
Gabe's coaching philosophy was built primarily on the shoulders of three master teachers: Christopher Bayes (Master Clown teacher, and Head of Movement at the Yale School of Drama), Evan Yionoulis (current Head of Drama, Juilliard) and Ron Van Lieu (Former Head of Drama NYU, YSD, and current Professor of Professional Practice at Columbia). Gabe will work with you on whatever aspect of your work/career with which you are struggling and/or looking to deepen, with a special focus on audition prep, monologue prep for graduate and undergraduate applicants, and solo show development.
Hourly rate quoted upon request.

A Note about Graduate School Applications and Auditions:
‘Tis the season after all, and the primary focus of Gabe’s coaching practice during the fall! Gabe will meet you wherever you happen to be in the process. Whether its helping to find the right monologues, or strategies to stay relaxed and focussed while keeping the fun alive on the day of the auditions, Gabe will be there for as much of the process as benefits you. Over the last 3 years Gabe has  assisted individuals get accepted into The Yale School of Drama, Brown, Columbia, The Pig Iron School, Steppenwolf, Actor's Theatre of Louisville, CalARTS, and both Rose Bruford and RADA in London. Individuals he’s coached have also had final callbacks and/or been waitlisted at NYU and Juilliard.
