Coaching

GREYS ANATOMY, SCANDEL

"Across the many spaces where I have worked with Stephanie— whether we shared the stage, or she coached me for an audition, or I had the privilege of reading a role in one of her plays— the consistent characteristic of our time together is a joyful rigor. Stephanie mixes a reverence for the practical craft with a spirit of fun, and an innate wisdom, which creates the kind of environment in which artists thrive."

SWEET MAGNOLIAS, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS

“Stephanie has been an invaluable asset in my acting journey ever since we started working together. Her expertise transforms complex scripts into manageable pieces, ensuring I feel confident and prepared for auditions, callbacks and projects. During our first meeting together, I told Stephanie I wanted a “ tough love” approach. Someone who can, with scalpel like precision, identify and remove old habits and poor technique to help me grow into the actor I know I can be. She did, and continues to do, just that. Stephanie isn't just a teacher; she's a mentor whose insights have become an integral part of my approach to acting. I credit much of my continued growth and success to her invaluable guidance and unwavering support.”

BILLIONS, AMERICAN GODS

“Stephanie is an exceptional acting teacher. Both passionate and compassionate, she has the unique ability to bring out the truth and strength of every actor she works with. Her deep sense of empathy, humor, insight, and the experience of years in theatre, film, and television have made her a gift to the art and craft of acting."

TULSA KING

“Stephanie is my first call whenever I receive challenging material. Her ability to strip a scene down to its core is miraculous, as is her understanding of characters (and maybe just human nature in general).  After our sessions, I’m always astounded by how much has been revealed to me in such a short amount of time. Once I’m on set, I usually ask myself “what would Stephanie say?”

King of Queens, The Affiar

“Stephanie was one of the first people I worked with when I returned to the stage after a ten-year absence. Her talent, commitment and work ethic quickly put me back in the proper mindset to take on my return roles as Flip in OUR LADY OF 121st Street and shortly thereafter, OTHELLO. We’ve worked together many times since then. What can I say? Stephanie knows her stuff!”

You, The Rockford Files

"I've known and worked with Stephanie for years. Not only is she exuberantly talented and wickedly funny, but she has a generous and kind heart and has become a positive light and dear friend in this roller coaster of a career.  She is a true force of nature and a real gem of a human."

Broadway “The Hard Problem”

“Before taking Stephanie's on camera workshop the boundaries of camera work were really limiting my creativity. I had taken workshops in the past, but they made me feel like there was a "right" way of taping. Her insight, playfulness and encouragement gave me the ability to bring my acting joy into auditioning and I started looking forward to taping; I finally had access to the freedom and vibrancy I feel onstage when auditioning for tv and film. The belief in myself I'd cultivated in the workshop really bolstered me as an artist and afterwards I booked for the first time in ages.”

Tony-Award Winning Actress

"As I get older, I only want to be in the room with artists who inspire, challenge, and simply make me better.  Stephanie is that artist. Her sense of joy, curiosity, and play remind me why I truly love what I do.  Every actor is better after working with Stephanie.”

Broadway “Present Laughter”

"Stephanie is the best kind of collaborator - she approaches everything she does with dynamic wit and the patience of a stone. She’s kind, generous and awesomely talented.  Personally and professionally, there is no opinion I'd trust more.”

Broadway “Equus”

"Stephanie is the perfect combination of intelligence, humor, empathy and curiosity. She’s an ideal collaborator. Clear. Concise. Compassionate. All tremendous qualities if you have the luxury of working with her and learning from her.”
