Introducing: Personalized Acting and Audition Coaching
Are you an aspiring performer looking to improve your audition technique? Do you feel that you need a guiding hand to help you unleash your full potential? I’m here to help you! I’m excited to announce Personalized Acting and Audition Coaching.
Why Choose Me for Coaching?
I’m dedicated to helping you refine your audition technique and showcase your unique talents. I’ve had years of professional experience under my belt, and have successfully been through the audition process- I understand the challenges and expectations that performers face.
How I Can Help
My personalized audition coaching sessions are tailored to meet your individual needs, focusing on the areas where you need the most support. Whether you are preparing for a musical theater audition, a straight play audition, a TV/Film self-tape, or just want to work on material, I will provide you with the tools and techniques to excel in every aspect of your audition.
Here's what my acting and audition coaching can include:
1. Audition Preparation: I will meticulously guide you through perfecting your audition material and help you understand the expectations of casting directors and teach you how to stand out in crowded audition rooms.
2. Performance Skills Development: I will work with you to build upon your existing skills and elevate your performance to new heights. From acting technique to vocal coaching and character development, I will ensure that you bring your auditions to life with authenticity and confidence.
3. Self Tape Coaching: I will help you through making sure your self tape set up is clear and focuses on what’s most important- your talent! We will work through your material, perfecting it, and getting it set to record. I will be available to be your scene partner and reader and we can take as many takes as needed until you are happy and confident to send it in.
4. Industry Insights: I will share my insider knowledge, tips, and strategies to get you feeling confident when you walk in an audition room, send in a tape, and tackle new material

Get to Know Me
Hi! I’m Caitlin. My pronouns are she/her. I’ve been living in NYC and the surrounding area for 9 years, but I’m originally from the Cleveland, OH area. You may know me from playing Dawn in Waitress, or Kate Draper in Girl from the North Country, both on Broadway. I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a Bachelor of Music in Music Theatre. I’ve worked around the country regionally and on tour. In the last few years, I've also made the cross over to working in Film and Television and completely fell in love with it. I have been incredibly fortunate to be part of shows including Mare of Easttown, Marvelous Mrs Maisel, American Rust, Girls, Peter Pan Live! and most recently the film version of Waitress Live on Broadway, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023. I’ve conducted masterclasses of audition coaching, and began acting/singing/movement classes online. I absolutely love working with young actors, and I’d love for you to be my next one!
