I am an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director of actors who teaches Scriptwriting at Howard University. My short film, N.O.S., was acquired by ShortsTV and is available on Amazon Prime. I coach actors in audition preparation, scene study, monologues, self-tapes, and acting technique using the Transformational Character Acting Method, a methodology I developed to help actors uncover the hidden story driving a character’s behavior. Drawing from Michael Shurtleff, Judith Weston, Lee Strasberg, Viewpoints, and my own approach to character transformation, I help actors identify a character’s prior wounds, limiting beliefs, protective behaviors, objectives, and ultimate transformation. By understanding what a character is protecting, what they fear, and who they are becoming, actors can make truthful, specific, and emotionally compelling choices. Whether you’re preparing for an audition, developing a role, or strengthening your craft, I’ll help you move beyond simply performing the role to fully embodying the character—bringing depth, authenticity, and emotional truth to every performance.
