Introducing Stacey: Stacey earned her BFA from Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, one of the top acting conservatories in the world, and earned her Masters from Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, in London. As a British / American acting coach, she uses acting techniques from both sides of the Atlantic. Stacey's approach has its roots in the Stanislavski system, but works with practices established by Stella Adler, Uta Hagen, Michale Chekhov, Lee Strasberg, Sanford Meisner, and other masters of the craft. Stacey is passionate about getting actors away from self-conscious acting and towards script- and character-based work. She believes good acting happens when an actor is having fun, meaning working with ease and joy - freeing the actor from "getting stuck in their head." She loves working with people on self-tape auditions and works regularly with actors of all skill levels, from those just starting to well-established actors.

Currently she is coaching actors on projects nominated for Oscars like Promising Young Woman, and series by Shonda Rhimes and DC Universe/Netflix. Kymberly helps actors find empowerment in discovering and expressing their own humanity through storytelling. Through twenty years of coaching beginning and professional actors, Kymberly developed a system of personalizing the script so the actor feels authentically connected to the circumstances and their character. This not only leads to more successful results, but to a more fulfilling creative experience and career. After several years of acting and writing, Kymberly has started directing actors with this system. Learned during her education while achieving her Masters in Theater and then her MFA in Acting and Playwriting, she then went into professional practice as an artist and teacher. This has led Kymberly to truly understand the actors instrument with compassion and empathy, as well as lifting their work to industry standards. Kymberly loves helping actors uncover how each character affects the whole and the dynamism that creates. Whatever the world of the story may be, she examines the relationships and considers the psychology of each character. It's a great joy of hers to efficiently marry these specifics with a deep understanding of the writer's intention. Kymberly has taught at the Susan Batson Studios, the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and founded TheatresCool, where she taught and directed actors of all ages. Currently she teaches and coaches actors at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in international workshops.
