Explore Acting with Acting Coach to the stars, Lil Malinich

This class combines the best of various acting techniques, including the Susan Batson Method and Meisner Technique, to help actors achieve specificity and depth in their work. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced performer, this class is designed to give you the essential tools for character preparation and audition technique.

An actor must understand and embrace all aspects of their instrument. Lil will guide you in finding personal truth through past experiences, transforming them into art within a safe, supportive environment.

Through targeted exercises, you will face insecurities, embrace shadows, and liberate your instincts. Acting becomes fun and playful when motivated by your inner child. By releasing blocks, you free your instincts, enabling you to perform with spontaneity and uniqueness. This freedom will not only enhance your acting but also impact areas of your life where you feel stuck.

Discovery of truth in art connects us in our humanity. Lil will lead you on a professional and transformative journey, opening doors to new and exciting possibilities in your work.

The class includes:

  • Monologue and scene work

  • Character development

  • Method exercises

  • Script breakdown

  • Audition technique

  • On-camera work

  • Individual feedback

"In our class, we’re going to dive deep into character development and scene work to sharpen your skills and bring your performances to life. My goal is to create a space where you can feel safe exploring your craft, pushing your boundaries and finding personal truth."
