๐ŸŒŸ Why Train With Me?

  • I graduated from Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) and returned as a teaching artist and ensemble director. Building โ€œUnpluggedโ€ the Schoolโ€™s premiere A Cappella Group and the Vocal Director for the innaugural years of Montage!
  • Iโ€™ve helped dozens of students gain admission to conservatories including Musical Theatre, Acting, Commercial Music / Popular Music, and Integrated Arts.
  • I know the admissions process inside and out โ€” from placement activities to interviews and lottery procedures.

๐Ÿ“ What OCSA Requires
(And How I Help You Ace It)

OCSA admission includes:

  • Choosing up to two conservatories
  • Submitting applications + attending placement activities
    (auditions or portfolio reviews)
  • Meeting proficiency levels before entering the final lottery

Each conservatory has different requirements โ€” and I coach you through them all:

  • Acting / Musical Theatre: Monologues, songs, stage presence, and interviews
  • Classical Voice / Popular Music: Vocal technique, sight reading, interpretation
  • Integrated Arts: Multi-disciplinary auditions (movement, writing, singing, etc.)
  • Film / Creative Writing: Portfolios and structured interviews

๐Ÿ’ช My Proven Method: From Prep to Acceptance

  • Conservatory Strategy โ€“ We select the right conservatories based on your strengths
  • Audition Coaching โ€“ Song and monologue selection, blocking, delivery, confidence
