Laura’s Coaching Philosophy
I was always a very good student, but I left college after a year because I got offered a job, so I feel I learned most through my experience on stage as opposed to in a classroom. Having worked professionally now in NYC for 11 years, I know how to equip a student to make the most of every musical theater audition. I try to remain positive and encouraging, and love answering questions or sharing what I’ve learned through my personal experiences.
