Acting. Action. Active.
Private Coaching for Working Actors and for Those Who Want to be Working
 | Auditions: Monologues & Cold Readings |
| Scene Study |
| Text Analysis |
| Shakespeare |
As a professional director and acting coach, I have a strong track record of
compelling and successful productions of both classical and new works in New
York, London and the American regional theatre. I have been honored as a
Fulbright Scholar and have earned a Master's Degree with Distinction from the
Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK.
I will put my insights and experiences to work to help you become better
prepared, more confident and more at ease – whether you are walking into an
audition or the first day of rehearsal. As you learn how better to market
yourself as well as to further develop your craft, we will find the material
that most dynamically explores your range and possibilities as an actor, to
harness your stamina and creativity to do the best work you've done yet!
Create a new connection to both the classical and contemporary text, to
yourself as an actor, to your place in the working theatre.

Actors Say . . .
| "Kate
asks you the important questions you need to answer to get at your
character's truth. With laser-like insight, she will help you
analyze the text and encourage you to get very specific about what you
are doing, why you are doing it and why you are doing it NOW. She
is supportive, friendly and will not judge you. And if you're
looking for a Shakespeare coach to get you ready for that Hamlet
audition, take it from a veteran Shakespeare performer – you'll be
very hard-pressed to find Kate's equal in knowledge and
experience!"

"Kate
Powers is, by far, the best coach I have ever worked with. Her feedback
is honest, insightful and practical; she gives suggestions that bring
more depth to your work on the very next read. After our first session,
I saw immediate results in the quality of my auditions. Kate not only
helps make the monologues you have much more rich, she is an invaluable
resource for finding new material that is right for you. I couldn't
recommend working with Kate Powers more highly!"
