HEY YOU!

Ellen is delighted that you have wandered to her website!  As an award-winning seasoned actor, writer, director, filmmaker, acting teacher, and coach- she is ready to work with YOU.

Whether she is teaching you how to audition or perform on-camera – she will support you because Ellen believes that all people can learn the art of acting –  regardless of their level of experience or abilities.  Thus, students with special needs, people of “mature age” and novice actors are all encouraged to connect and check out Ellen’s Actor’s Workshop page.

 Ellen prefers either an email or phone call! That’s right – an actual human will connect with you and not an AI response!  She wants to have a conversation with you and see what are your goals and level of experience.  

Ellen (and her staff) are looking forward to meeting some very dynamic actors! So, go ahead – connect!
