About Nicole Apostol

I am a classically trained, AEA, working theatre actor with experience in Shakespeare, contemporary works, mime, and mask work. After graduating with my BFA from Southern Oregon University, I have worked consistently in various regional theatres on the West Coast.

While I of course will discuss with you what you would like to achieve, my aim is to teach my students how to approach any text or piece fearlessly and with freedom. Whether this be a hobby, an aspiration, or simply a way to break out of your shell, I strive to help you live presently and completely in your body, to follow your impulses, and to find your own method of creating.

Acting teaches empathy, confidence, and connection. It fosters community in a way I have seen little else do.

I began coaching Speech and Debate while in high school, then began teaching acting workshops while an intern at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. I've since been teaching with Marin Shakespeare Company as well as workshops with Shakespeare Adventures summer camp.

BFA in Acting - Southern Oregon University, as well as years of professional work experience.

About the lesson

I begin by discussing what the student wants to achieve and their experience level, then conducting some exercises with the student. After this, I tailor the process to their needs. Sometimes this means beginning with voice and projection, other times with movement, other times with neutral, classical, or contemporary text.

All levels and ages, from summer camps with students aged 8 to coaching speeches for business professionals. Some of these students have a vested interest in acting, some are beginners who use their lessons with me to build their confidence.

Consider their pedagogy.

Acting is a fluid art form, and each teacher is unique. There is no one standard method to find a "way in". While most teachers will have knowledge about certain methods, what you want is a teacher the works best with how you learn.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Consider what you want to learn.

Is is physical freedom? Is it ease with analyzing text? Is it confidence? Is it vocal projection? Is it specificity? Are you unsure? Ask yourself these questions and ask your teacher how best to achieve your goals.

Be specific.

While most dramatic art forms teach different components of a well-rounded actor, your teacher will best be able to help you when you know exactly what it is you want to learn, even if it's just that you want an introduction to acting as an art form. For example, mime and Shakespeare, while certainly related and able to inform each other, are two different worlds and styles and require time to teach each.

Details

I have a base price for lessons, and then add to that price based on my transportation or space costs (gas, tolls, rental prices).

For one student, my base price is $45 per hour. For multiple students, $35 each per hour. I am based in Oakland and travel to my students, and gas and tolls will be considered and included in the price.

If it is preferred or necessary for me to rent a space, I can happily do so for an added cost.
