Olivia believes that the foundation of great acting is craft, and her goal is to help students develop theirs by providing a variety of tools to choose from.
Drawing on training from a diverse range of studios, Olivia offers multiple options for each student. She believes in the approach of “take what works and leave the rest” and does not subscribe to one single method for every actor.
Personally, as an actor, Olivia blends techniques from various studios and constantly adds new tools to her toolbox. She sees craft-building as an ongoing process and encourages students to lead with curiosity in their acting while staying flexible and open to surprise.

Scene study focuses on analyzing and performing scenes to develop an actor's technique, deepen character understanding, and deliver authentic, engaging performances.
Character development is all about the character and their life as well as making choices about who they are and their values. We will also examine their speech, movement, and backstory, using specific tools to develop a fully realized character.
Improvisation is the art of creating spontaneous, unscripted performances, where actors react in the moment, building scenes and characters on the fly while maintaining creativity, authenticity, and focus.
Most auditions are currently self taping from home. Olivia will help you build a professional self tape setup and give you tools to prepare for those quick-turnaround auditions.
Voice and movement training helps actors improve their physical and vocal skills, allowing them to express emotions and bring their characters to life more effectively.
Olivia will guide her students to understand the landscape of the industry, how to start getting auditions, and how to market yourself.
