Meghan is my creative partner. She has become an integral part of my creative process and I honestly can’t ever imagine doing this without her. She is not only an artist to work beside but a support network as I navigate the world of acting and my place in it. It excites me to think of the work we have yet to do.

Working with Meghan made me an artist. Using curiosity, craft and compassion, her guidance deepens my acting and betters the entire project. It’s hard for me to put her intelligence and talent into words but it’s not a coincidence that two years into coaching with her I was nominated for a Golden Globe.

I have done many jobs without Meghan and I can say, without a doubt, that when I am working with Meghan on a role, my performance is far more nuanced, personal and expansive. Her coaching cracks open the role and my relationship to it in ways I never could have thought of on my own. She brings excitement to the work and the performance, inspiring more creativity in all areas of my life.

Meghan is such a bright light in my life. Her support in working truly boosted my confidence in my choices. I love watching her work—she has a unique way of opening up an actor’s perspective and revealing new approaches that are simply astounding. Being around her is an experience I wish everyone could have. She has this incredible ability to pour her energy into others, lifting me up just when I need it most. Wes should all feel so grateful to have her in our corners!

I have been lucky enough to work with Meghan and watch her work with actors for 19 episodes of television. She has incredible sensitivity when on set and great efficiency. She is the actor whisperer. I am always grateful and appreciate her collaborative approach to working with actors. She truly enhances every project we have done together!

In a word, working with Meghan is inspiring. Her approach is both reverent and rebellious, challenging and comforting--a reminder that acting is an art form no matter how often it can feel otherwise.

WHAT I DO
for Production
After a decade of experience on-set as a coach and creative producer, I understand the rigors of production and the challenges they present. The power of having a dedicated coach on set to support, problem solve and strengthen an actors performance cannot be overstated. Productions save time (and therefor money) when their cast is provided the benefit of a skilled coach’s assistance behind the scenes.
for Actors
We will work collaboratively, preparing you to do your best work at any stage of the job. Incredible results come from looking at old problems in a new way and there is usually more room to expand than we can sense. Actors can expect to leave a coaching session with new ideas, tools and concrete steps to tackle the demands of their work.
for Directors
Gain a new approach to whatever challenges you face with actors in production. Having spent hundreds of hours observing directors and actors on-set, I offer valuable insight into actor/director communication. Coaching often works as a connective tissue helping you translate your vision to your cast and capturing the incredible performance only your direction can evoke.
