Carmel Amit

My approach to audition coaching is to facilitate an environment that allows the performer to bring themselves to the material. I enjoy finding ways to guide the work to be authentic and to let the camera capture unexpected moments.

I have years of experience and training as a performer, teacher and director. I understand the expectations of casting directors as well as the different genres and shows in town.

With that, I strive to make space for you, the performer to find breath and space, to play and experiment, to collaborate, stay curious and discover your interpretation of the character.

David Attar

Characters, voices and accents have come naturally to me since I was young.

As a voice over coach, my approach is to allow playful freedom and space for the performer to explore and discover. It’s important to me that a voice actor stays curious and spontaneous. This broadens their versatility and confidence.

I have years of experience working behind the mic and producing my own work in animation, video games, commercials, audiobooks and anything that requires voice over.

I’ve directed and produced over 50 voice demos for actors. I love working one on one to help artists discover their range of abilities and find their voice.

As an on camera coach, my approach focuses on script analysis and allowing space for the performer to bring their unique self to the character.
