I felt compelled to leave this review about my incredible Acting Coach: Aubyn Philabaum. Sometimes…read morethere are people in your life that are so good, bring so much value and care so deeply, your work and Life changes because of them. My enormous great good fortune is my Acting Coach Aubyn Philabaum. Aubyn is a Yale trained actor who began coaching acting, auditioning and career mentoring in LA. When auditioning in person transitioned to mostly remote, Aubyn was coaching through zoom, ensuring we were performing the deepest on-camera work and had the most technically impeccable audition tapes to send in. No audition opportunity was left to chance. She took such a fulsome interest in every aspect of each student. A personal mentor: From assessing where they were in their acting to what needed to be done to make an audition great, to getting auditions on camera to turn in, to deepening the work both in person and for camera, to assessing career choices and goals, marketing, head shots...she is a full Mentor. Recently, as I prepared to perform a solo show of 90 minutes, I hired Aubyn to guide me from unmemorized to last performance. Her devotion to my work, the script, my well-being, my voice and body work, my emotional life within the play was consummate. Aubyn is an empath. So there was no moment we passed by without her stopping to help me go deeper inside myself to bring forward the truest experience. Aubyn is a brilliant coach who works gently and lovingly but with passion to get the best work out of her students. She is invested in each of her student's growth and success. Her love of acting permeates everything she does. And this innate calling takes her actors to the truth of their work. I wish I had known her when I first came into the acting world. To this day, I wonder if my career would have blossomed had I had her by my side. But I have her now, and as my career takes a different turn, I know I'll never be without her by my side if I'm able. I know she works remote for many but she's relocated to Tucson and opened an Acting School there, so actors in Arizona are soon to find out what secret magic they now have next door. Thank you Aubyn. I look forward to working with you as long as you're coaching.

The cast had us laughing from start to finish with clever jokes, over-the-top characters, and just the right amount of heroic insect drama. If Batman and a backyard barbecue had a theatrical baby, this would be it. It was 2 acts then ended with The Gong Show comedy skit. The food (pizza and wings) was very good! We even got free ice cream for visiting from out of town! Great entertainment, plenty of laughs, and a fantastic night out in Tucson!

I signed up for lessons hoping to correct a speech impediment I have had since middle school. They…read moreswore this was absolutely possible. After about a month or two, I was getting the wildest compliments during lessons "you're going to be a star" and "embrace the fame thats coming your way" "you are about to be on TV" I didn't understand what was going on or even what this TV show was. I was humble and didn't want to ask questions. Before one of the showcases, I was even supposed to have a private meeting with one of her "producers" to record. After long, I realized the same eager crowd that showed up at these "producer showcases" to perform & impress were mostly the same ones coming to lessons. I was told things like "you'll have album in three years" and because of her connections with music stars.....maybe even a collab with Carrie Underwood. There was also *tremendous* pressure to come online and leave a 5-star review. I felt uneasy that things which seemed private and confidential about other students were shared during lessons. I also realized that she seemed to share things about me that I wish she wouldn't have. I wish that I would have walked away when I got to the point I was at...and never got involved with her "showcases" and her producers. I wish I would have trusted the bad feeling in my gut about all of it. It felt like mind games, with the wild promises, and the producers, and how they never talked to me directly about what was going on. I would be ashamed to talk like this to my voice students, and Mr. Riggs probably wouldn't approve of this business modality either. Now, I am trying to find myself again after the grief this has caused in my life. Which is far more than can be fit in this review.

The online course interactions were frustrating and often aggravating, especially when dealing with moderators, specifically named Lisa House.
