We are here to help you “get info” about Ellen Gerstein’s Acting Classes and Coaching!

Are you an actor looking for an acting coach? Have you been thinking that you would like to hone your acting skills? Perhaps you want to audition for regional theater? A commercial? Or even try to make a living as an actor in Hollywood?  But then you think you don’t have the time or don’t live in an area where you can easily access coaching sessions?  Or perhaps you have an audition, but need to analyze the script to get the scene “just right”?  Or you are a parent and can tell that you have a young budding actor under your roof.

These are great reasons to connect with Ellen Gerstein – who is an award-winning actor, director, screenwriter, and producer!  She calmly and with. much support guides people through the process of being coached for acting work.  She helps people of all skill levels (yes – people with special needs) and skill levels (including students with special needs).

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Ellen Gerstein a Semi-Finalist in the Reno-Tahoe Screenwriters Awards

Ellen Gerstein is a semi-finalist in the Reno-Tahoe Screenwriters Contest – 2023, for her project: BIG AL, HIP HOP, and HER.  This is one of her newest projects that is vying for the contest “top prize” of being a script optioned and produced for a feature or TV pilot.

The following mission statement was found on the Reno -Tahoe Screenwriters Awards website:

Founded by screenwriters, producers, directors, and other industry pros, the Reno-Tahoe Screenplay Contests knows just how difficult it can be to see a script go from an idea to the screen. 

Rather than just acknowledge a winning script, we look to grow careers and nurture the best writers and talent.

Each contest cycle, winner of the short script contest will get their script optioned and produced and the winning feature and TV pilot scripts will get a table read of their full script read by professional actors and directed by a director (winners will get a copy of the video and audio recording).

Whether you’re an old pro or a burgeoning writer, we encourage you to submit, get our professional feedback, and join our growing community of writers.

 

Thank you to the Reno-Tahoe Screenplay contest judges!
