“I owe my Juilliard acceptance, at least in part, to your amazing ability to bring out the best in me as an actor and person. Anyone would be lucky to have you in their corner as they prepare for their auditions.”

Hi - I’m Adriana.
I’m a professional theater director, university professor, and audition coach who’s worked all over the country.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve been behind the table for over 2,000 actors’ auditions.
When it comes to “what works,” I know three things:
You need to show us YOU.
The people behind the table are on your side (really).
Auditioning is weird. But it doesn’t have to be hard.
“Applying for Grad School was stressful, but Adriana was very essential to easing my fears. I am so grateful for her guidance.”

Welcome to
Get In: How to Rock Your MFA & URTA Auditions
I specialize in coaching for actors applying to MFA and advanced training programs. After years of successful one-on-one coaching and helping actors receive admission to programs including Brown, Juilliard, and NYU, I know that you need a specific set of lessons for this unique process.
What's different about me and this course is that I focus a not just on your audition, but on YOU. What makes you tick? What sets you apart from other actors? How can you think about your essays and applications, you self care ritual, your driving-purpose all as part of your process? What does it look like to show up as your full, 360-degree self? We talk not just about what the auditor wants, but what you want as well.
