Coaching with Lizzie Markson

One-on-one acting coaching, artistry coaching, voice lessons, audition prep, career mentorship, and more.

Looking to become the artist you’re meant to be?

Feeling lost and need some help in your career or craft?

You’ve come to the right place. I offer one on one coaching to artists of all ages and at all stages. I’ve taught clients from ages 11 to 65+. Do you have an audition or callback coming up - whether for a professional production or your school play? Are you yearning to grow your confidence as an actor? Are you looking to express yourself and sing, but need some help? Are you in need of career coaching and strategizing?

I’m here for you. I’ve been a professional actor for over 10 years (self-represented for 7 of those years) and a teacher and coach for just as long. I am and will be actively in the trenches as a professional actor in NYC while we work together, so I will always bring up to date industry insights and experiences and learnings into our work together. I also bring a unique perspective as a queer artist navigating this industry, and theatre landscape.

I have helped clients who have never sung to find their voice and learn to find joy in singing. I have coached busy moms who want to finally do something for themselves. I have coached middle school artists on their play auditions. I have helped high school actors looking to audition for BFA programs, feel awesome about their songs and monologues. High school students who want help getting ready for their school production auditions, or simply want to stay sharp in their training. College grads who are still looking for more training or career mentoring. College grads who feel a little lost and overwhelmed with the industry and want a coach in their corner guiding them along and helping them learn how to be a CEO of their own acting business. NYC professionals who are looking to find more specificity in the material for their Broadway auditions and callbacks. Folks who have lost touch with their artistry and trust in themselves and want to play and find it again. You name it, I’ve done it.

Whether you have a specific need, or are just looking to have a guide and a mentor to lead you and be your industry insight and personal cheerleader who has been through it all and is ready to be on your team, I’ve got you. We can strategize and I will help you build your business as an actor. We can meet weekly and sing songs you love. Whatever you need, I will meet you where you’re at.

Let’s work together and get in the mud and play. Let’s help you grow and continue to find your confidence, and to free you up so you can become the artist you know you are. You deserve to express yourself fully. You have something only you can give. The world needs you and needs your art.

Some things I specialize in are: physical storytelling, getting out of your head and into your body, acting a song, audition coaching, callback coaching, breaking down a scene, pop/rock/folk stylings, finding your interpretation of a character, preparing for a rehearsal process, script analysis, mindfulness and somatic tools, career coaching and mentoring, career strategizing, voice lessons, preparing for and navigating NYC, and more.

I pull from: Viewpoints, Laban, Meisner, Yoga and mindfulness, my own experiences as a queer woman in the theatre industry, the many mentors and teachers who I have learned from over the years and continue to learn from, years of experience on professional contracts - both as a Principal in multiple hit National Tours (Fate in “Hadestown”, and Sophie in “Mamma Mia”), and as a swing and member of the ensemble, and tons more.

Looking for a personal coach, teacher, and cheerleader? I am currently taking on private acting, vocal, and early acting career clients on a case by case basis.
Whether you just moved to the city and need some help navigating it all, or you are looking to audition for college programs, or are looking to keep your acting and voice chops in shape, I’m here for you.

Looking to bring me in to your theatre, acting or musical theatre program, dance studio, school, drama club, or organization? Let’s chat. I offer a variety of masterclasses and workshops.
