1-on-1 Private Coaching
Acting Coaching With Donnabella
Private coaching for actors and actresses who are serious about their craft, their presence, and their career. Limited availability.
The Work
Not a class. Not a workshop. One person. One focus.
Donnabella has spent over twenty years in front of cameras, behind microphones, and on stages that didn’t offer second chances. This coaching is built entirely from that experience — what actually works, what directors actually want, and what separates actors who get called back from actors who don’t.
Scene Work & Cold Reads
Breaking down scripts, finding the truth in every line, and delivering it under pressure. The skills that separate working actors from waiting actors.
Emotional Range & Authenticity
Accessing deeper emotional truth on demand. Built on the same techniques behind the Audie Award, 50+ screen credits, and national commercial campaigns.
On-Camera Presence & Self-Tape
How to command the frame, own the self-tape, and make casting directors feel something — from the first frame to the last.
Audition Strategy & Preparation
How to walk into any room — or open any self-tape — prepared, present, and impossible to ignore. From script breakdown to final take.
Voice & Narration Coaching
For actors looking to break into audiobook narration, voice over, or video game work. From a 2016 Audie Award winner who has narrated dozens of titles.
Career Direction & Industry Navigation
Honest guidance on building a sustainable acting career — from someone who has worked across network TV, cable, streaming, film, commercials, and voice over for over two decades.
Who This Is For
This coaching is for actors who are ready to do the real work.
This is not an introductory class. It is not for people who are casually curious about acting. It is for actors and actresses who are already working — or actively working toward working — and who want a competitive edge built on twenty years of professional performance.
If you are serious about your craft, serious about your career, and ready to work with someone who has done it at the highest level of the industry — this coaching was built for you.

“The camera doesn’t lie and neither will I. This coaching is about doing the real work — the kind that actually changes how you perform.”
