As an agent, you always hope to work with a casting director as invested in an actor’s performance as Laura is. Her sole goal is to set an actor up for the best possible chance of success. In nearly two decades of collaborating closely with Laura, I watched time and again as she took extra time to talk actors through specific moments of the text, provide insight into the tone of a piece, and help actors understand the director’s vision. By going above and beyond, my actors booked multiple jobs. As an acting coach, she brings the same tenacity to audition preparation, with the added bonus of personalized attention geared toward you as an individual. I would highly recommend Laura to any actor who wants a leg up on securing a job in this competitive industry.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Laura since 2003. She’s always had an exceptional eye as a casting director and unique ability to communicate with actors. Her countless hours spent in audition rooms over the years and vast knowledge of what creative teams respond to are what makes her an amazing coach. Laura always leads with respect for the artists she works with. Her dedication, wisdom and grace are a winning combination that make her invaluable to any actor. I can highly recommend Laura as an audition coach.

Laura is one of my favorite people to work with. She's unbelievably knowledgeable and insightful about the art of casting, sensitive to the nuances each actor brings to a role, and incredibly supportive in helping a director achieve their vision for the production. Her contributions are essential to the success of any project on which she works.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone better suited to be your audition coach than Laura. She has years of experience working alongside some of the most respected directors and playwrights in the industry, not to mention her own dramaturgical expertise across a multitude of script genres. Laura has a deep respect for the actors’ craft and an uncanny knack for specific and shrewd observations. She guides actors to find unexpected moments in a scene – full of vitality and nuance – which often means the difference between a good audition and an undeniably special one. Laura is always rooting for an actor to win in the room – you want her as part of your support team to drive you to do your best work.

I had the blessing of getting to know Laura in two different ways: as an actor in front of the table and a reader behind it. As an actor, she made me feel comfortable and seen. She got to know me as a person first and as an artist second. As a reader, I saw firsthand how much Laura truly cares about every actor that walks into the room and how she genuinely cheers for them. The amount of care Laura brings into the room, along with her extensive experience, let me know she only wants the best for every person involved during the journey. If you work with Laura, you're in amazing and trusted hands!

Laura just gets actors. It’s that simple. It’s a hard quality to describe because it’s so rare, but she has it. It’s a combination of intuition, experience, and most importantly, CRAFT that allows her to reach beyond the ephemeral/subjective and coax out the very thing that makes actors feel confident and marketable — individuality. Laura remains one of the few casting directors in my career that gets the larger picture of my skill set and range. I would trust her to coach me on just about anything, not just auditions.

Laura has deep respect for actors and their work. Whether Shakespeare, Kushner, or Jacobs-Jenkins, she has a specific understanding of the material and communicates with confidence and care. An eye I trust in the industry to be honest, intelligent and supportive.

Laura knows the players inside out and brings years of experience to her vision. She’s smart, dedicated, and working alongside her is an absolute joy!
