Choose the path that fits and skip to the section written for you.
For young actors (7 to 17)
One-to-one coaching for child and teen actors with a parent present or in an adjacent room. All coaches hold a current Vulnerable Sector Check.
Coaching for young actors →For adult actors
Audition prep, self-tape, scene study, and the industry realities of Ontario's casting pipeline.
Coaching for adult actors →What casting in Ontario looks like
Ontario carries the largest concentration of Canadian screen production, anchored by Toronto. Cinespace, Pinewood Toronto, and several smaller studios run a rolling pipeline of episodic, streaming, and US-adjacent features.
Coaching for young Ontario actors
We coach performers aged 7 to 17 in one-to-one sessions. A parent or guardian is always in the building, and in the room or an adjacent room depending on the child's age and preference. Session material is agreed with the parent in advance.
All coaches working with Ontario minors hold a current Vulnerable Sector Check, issued by the Ontario Provincial Police or local police service. Documentation is sighted by us before the first session with a minor, and by you on request.
Coaching for Ontario-based adult actors
For adult actors at every stage: pre-representation, signed but underworked, mid-career, and working actors preparing for specific high-stakes auditions. If you have a callback next Friday, we work the callback. If you are preparing a self-tape in 24 hours, we work the self-tape.
Material reflects the casting pipeline in Ontario. Accent work is available when the role demands it.

My son's school drama teacher could not prepare him for a screen audition. Freya did.
The self-tape setup advice alone was worth the session.
