Approach

A MULTI-BASED APPROACH

As a trained actress, former dancer, and choreographer, my background is rich with abundant tools to gain access to the talent within you. For the joy of finding your voice and freeing yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally, I support people in their truthful expression through their work. In addition to one-on-one consultations and group sessions, I regularly host workshops and seminars in the San Francisco Bay Area for people who are interested in developing their technique.  At present all workshops, coaching sessions and seminars are held on-line on Zoom.

MY APPROACH

Francine is an acting teacher and personal tutor who has worked professionally in film, TV, and theater. She specializes in helping people identify and achieve their individual career goals by training them to express themselves with in-depth, heart-felt creativity, and emotional honesty. Whether you are a professional in the industry or an aspiring student, Francine works with actors, dancers, singers, and animators. Her work comes from a playful, joyful, enthusiastic dedication, and commitment to the love of expressing the human spirit. Using an array of communication and acting skills, both verbal and non-verbal, Francine's work will allow you to experience a new way of approaching your work all done on Zoom.
