Tyrick’s Coaching Philosophy

Hi, My name is Tyrick Wiltez Jones, and I enjoy working with young performers. I’ve been in this business professionally since I was 16 yrs old and I have taught and ran Musical Theatre Programs in the US since I was 17. I’ve had the opportunity to work in many aspects of this business. Auditioning in front of the table and sitting behind the table, as an Actor, Singer, Dancer, Asst Choreographer, and Choreographer. I coach with an emphasis on Acting because I believe you have to be an actor First. Also, we can make work Fun for You, and help you find Your Way. Be in the Moment, I want you to Embrace YOU!  🙂
