Private Coaching
Focus Your Acting Work
Private coaching allows you to engage in the work without distractions.
A trusted coach ignites your creativity, mines the text for behavior, and identifies your unique contributions to the role, giving you freedom in the audition to take risks and give a performance that stands out.
Actors currently on location or outside of New York City can book Skype sessions for Audition Coaching, Role Preparation, and Career Coaching.
Because roles come in all different sizes, so do private coaching times. If you have a one-page co-star audition, a thirty-minute session is perfect. For multi-scene auditions, an hour session is ideal. Use the links below to check Jamie’s schedule and book your preferred session.
Prefer to study among a group of dedicated, like-minded peers? Find out more about Group Classes here.
Let’s build your career, one audition at a time.
* Please note – As of 10/18/22 I am reserving private coaching sessions for existing clients and referrals only. Online booking will resume in Spring 2023, once episodic and pilot seasons slow.

Testimonials
Jamie Carroll is one of the top professional acting coaches in New York, if not the country. I’ve visited studios where she’s taught & I’ve seen the most prepared and impressive, exciting auditions in town. She’s not there to “teach acting,” she's there to perfect it.
Jamie Carroll is the most consistent, and respectful casting director that I have had the pleasure to work with. I am always guaranteed a great pool of talent to pick from. On top of that, it is clear that she is incredibly respectful to all of the talent she brings in and it creates a really positive working dynamic. It's always a great honor to work with Jamie.
Jamie Carroll is likely the most passionate teacher I've ever met. She is as curious and driven to find what unlocks an actor's potential and unique greatness as any coach you'll find. Jamie's coaching sessions have gently and precisely cracked open scenes, characters, relationships and auditions for me. The result is always something that feels somehow entirely mine. Jamie has the gift of seeing the beauty in people and framing it for the world to see. My most recent coaching with Jamie landed me a callback for the Broadway show I am currently in. Infinite gratitude for this most generous and creative genius.
Jamie Carroll was my first On-Camera coach and really nailed what it meant to audition, giving me room to practice for the real thing and providing a generous space for growth. After training with her, I booked my first film role off of my first repped audition! Having now worked with a variety of teachers, I can easily say that she has pushed my work forward in myriad ways, making me infinitely more bookable. Auditioning is its own challenge, and Jamie has a vast understanding of how one can surpass it!
The tools Jamie gave me in our first one-hour session were solutions I had been seeking for years, and a few very critical tips I didn't even realize I was missing! She brought an invaluable level of knowledge, wisdom, and experience and gave practical, achievable feedback while fostering a truly kind and encouraging environment. She assessed exactly what I needed immediately and from playback I watched my work grow exponentially from her guidance. She gave me both the hands-on, straight-forward knowledge and the creative support I needed to feel truly great about going into an appointment. Basically - Jamie is very, very special and I can't say enough great things about her.
