COACHING
I LOVE coaching auditions. I approach coaching as a director - helping you to showcase what YOU do best. I work in film/TV and have an MFA in Classical Acting (RCSSD) so I am excited by all kinds of material.
In my wheelhouse:
SELF TAPES - Film/TV
THEATRE - Sides & Monologues
MUSICAL THEATRE - Cuts & Sides
BFA/MFA Auditions - Classical & Contemporary monologues - let me help you source and put together a package you’re excited about.
I am available by zoom/facetime or in person in the LA & NY areas. Coaching rates start at $60.
SCRIPT DOCTORING
Need script coverage? Notes? Punch-ups? Structural overhaul? Page one rewrite? I’m quite literally your girl.
Let me take a red pen to your script and help it become the best version it can be. I love the challenge of finding a writer’s voice and intention and helping clear away what’s unnecessary - allowing the truest version to come through.
Sometimes, all you need is a pair of fresh eyes and a couple wry jokes that were in there all along.
In addition to scripts, I’ve helped to edit course curriculum, personal statements, keynote speeches, documentary VO, and of course, pitch materials. ASK ME, I can probably help. Rates vary, get in touch to learn more.
PITCH MATERIALS
With a decade of self-taught graphic design and on-the-job research, I know how to make materials sing (literally, if you’re into that.)
I start from scratch - you can expect bespoke graphic design that fully encapsulates the world you are pitching. I am also available to help punch up all the content - 2 in 1!
Whether a feature film, TV show bible, new business, masterclass series, non-profit, or comedy show - if you need a creative deck that stands out, I’ve got you.
Get in touch below to request samples. Graphic design rates start at $50/hr.
Clients who keep coming back:
“I’ve worked with Jenny both as a writer and actor. She’s coached me on multiple self tapes where her expertise as an actor’s director helped me really bring myself to the script and made the dialogue shine. As a writer, Jenny has provided coverage on multiple scripts, including short films, pilots, and features. She is unique in that she has both a keen understanding of structure and character while also getting into the weeds of dialogue and action. It is rare to work with someone who understands the big and small picture of a screenplay, and Jenny instantly “gets” anything she reads. Unlike a lot of other coaches out there, Jenny never tries to impose herself, but is excellent at suggesting changes that will help the actor or writer bring out their own voice even more. She is my go-to for feedback and I couldn’t recommend her enough! (She is also hot and funny.)” - Sarah Adelman (Writer/Comic)
“Jenny was incredible at crafting a custom pitch deck for my youth performing arts company—she was quick, wildly creative, and immediately understood exactly what I needed. She suggested adding content I never would have thought of, but seemed so obvious once it was included! The final deck was polished, artistic, detailed, and I’m confident her work played a key role in helping me land a huge client.” - Rachel Hirschfeld (CEO of The PAC, LA)
“Hiring Jenny was the best thing I ever did - I feel like half the time I don't need anybody else - she can literally bang out any task or any job immediately and is so reliable. She might be the first person I've ever hired that I don't have to babysit and it's such a relief to know that she is there. I wish there were 1 million Jennys in the world. And the truth is, she is an absolute rarity.” - Erica Hanrahan (CEO of Imagination in Action)
