Topics of Study

Scene Study

The Business of Acting

Scene study focuses on analyzing and performing scenes to develop an actor's technique, deepen character understanding, and deliver authentic, engaging performances.

The Business of Acting

Olivia will guide her students to understand the landscape of the industry, how to start getting auditions, and how to market yourself.

Character Development

The Business of Acting

Character Development

Character development is centered on understanding the character’s life, values, and choices—guided by curiosity. We’ll explore their speech, movement, and backstory, using specific tools to shape a fully realized and truthful portrayal.

Improvisation

On Camera Auditions

Character Development

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.

On Camera Auditions

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

On Camera 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's Approach

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 techniques and 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 approach for every actor.

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.
