"Coaching with Risa helps give me confidence when heading into the audition or onto the set. She is intelligent and always emotionally available. Her love of actors and telling-the-story gives me a great trust. After working with Risa, I always feel at home with the part and ready to enter the audiion space or go to work and succeed!"

"You need to do the work to get the work, plain and simple. And you may have to work harder than other people. Maybe it does not come easy, if at all. Luck helps. Timing helps. Preparation helps. And the right coach can do even more. Risa will teach you, guide you, give you tools, support you, push you, understand you, and help you do the work you need to do. With her compassion, insight, and experience, her approach is tailored to the individual; to those who are willing to invest their time, energy and commitment to working with their own raw materials so that they can show up to work ready to work. I recommend Risa highly!"

"My experience with Risa was one of the most profound I have ever had as an actor. She helped me understand the basic principles of being true to a character in terms of finding the crisis. Her insights have changed how I work, how I audition, how I tackle this Industry, and not only how I see myself but more importantly how I believe in myself. Risa has a quality in her coaching that reaches in and pulls out the best in the individual. I am indebted to her for making such a powerful change in my approach to acting, allowing me to show up to work ready for anything they throw at me."

"Love you guys. Just sent another actor pal your way, very happily and wholeheartedly. The ‘you’re always enough’ approach keeps my cup acting spilling over. I’m on a show right now and I can feel a greater ease, freedom, and playfulness because I’ve been at the gym, reg workouts’ with Steve’s coaching."
