About Us

Elite coaching by Juilliard-trained artists who work at the top of the industry.

We became teachers because we know how much a great coach can change everything. We’ve been lucky to receive rigorous, compassionate, one-on-one guidance — and we’re here to pass that on.

​

We’ve trained with some of the best (Juilliard, Bob Krakower, Jessica Blank), and worked with top names in the industry, from Aaron Sorkin to Tim Blake Nelson. But we also know what it’s like to be the little fish in the big pond — to feel like an imposter, or unsure if we belong.

​

Whether you're prepping for an MFA audition, a Netflix callback, or just trying to get back into your craft, we meet you where you are — and push you forward with care, precision, and respect.

​

We believe in breaking the rules thoughtfully, telling the truth boldly, and helping you take ownership of your career and your voice. Every actor is different. That’s the point. Our job is to help you bring your full self to the work — and make that your superpower.

Our Story

Our founders met a decade ago as international theatre students at NYU Abu Dhabi — two outsiders from Utah and Slovenia pursuing a dream. Against the odds, they both earned spots in Juilliard’s MFA Acting program, the first from their school to do so. In addition, Ana Karneza was the first-ever disabled actor to be accepted at Juilliard.

​​

We understand what it’s like to be the “first” and the outsider. With hard work and the right mentorship, we broke through. Now, we work on Broadway, in European concert halls, and on major TV sets. ActingCoachingOnline.com is here to help you do the same — with the tools, support, and guidance you need to create your best work.
