What is one on one coaching?
It’s whatever you want it to be! You got an audition coming up? New to self-taping? Need help figuring out some text from a play you’re already cast in or a TV show/film your shooting, or even a project you’re writing yourself? Gabe has literally done all of it. Or maybe you’re thinking about auditioning for graduate school? ‘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 focus 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 2 years Gabe has successfully assisted multiple individuals get accepted into Yale School of Drama, Brown, The Pig Iron School and RADA. And actors he’s coached have had final callbacks and/or been waitlisted at Columbia, NYU and Juilliard.
Private Coaching
Gabe's coaching philosophy was built primarily on the shoulders of 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.
