The universe provided my family an unexpected gift when my oldest child was paired to work with Tara Falk as an acting coach. Immediately, Tara connected with them on a human level, which allowed them to feel safe and seen. From that foundation, they have been able to work on developing a deeper toolbox of theatre audition and performance skills. Tara is so much more than a coach for my teenager - she's a trusted confidante, a mentor, a role model, a nurturer, and a cheerleader. We think so highly of her that when my younger child was interested in pursuing acting, Tara was our first choice in supporting her. Tara developed her confidence, her professionalism, and her sense of self through her coaching. I trust Tara implicitly with both of my children - their bodies, minds, and spirits. I am eternally grateful for her presence in their lives.
