CONSULTING
CASTING & COACHING
Casting is fundamental to storytelling.
As a working singer and actor, I have been informally consulting on opera casting for years, developing my intuitive instinct for that magical combination of vocal qualities, dramatic and stylistic strengths, type, personality, and chemistry between performers and directors. Casting is my secret superpower.
Storytelling is my passion.
With two decades of experience and a passion for bringing stories to life, assembling the right artists to tell those stories together is a natural extension of that work. Casting is not a game of fame and names; it is the art of assembling casts whose individual artistry and interpersonal chemistry amplify one another. Then opera shines brightest.
Singers and companies are collaborators.
While casting is guiding a company to tell their stories more effectively through their artists, coaching is helping cultivate the source material!
I guide singers to tell their stories more clearly and honestly through their physicality, languages, style, creativity, choices and intention. It's an investment in the kind of storytellers I want to see and be with on stage!
