Performance Coaching

Skills Coaching + Career Coaching + Empowerment Coaching

​

​​​"I work mostly with professional performing artists, but I also love helping up-and-coming performers who have worked hard to develop their talents and want to turn their skills into a career that they love! As a Performance Coach, I am there for my clients every step of the way... to help them master their craft, create their package, build their team, prepare for an audition, train for a performance, overcome their obstacles, and stay motivated. This is what PERFORMANCE COACHING is all about. I help singers, actors, dancers, and performers hone their talents, build their careers, step into their spotlight, and follow their dreams!"

​

-Teresa Hill-Putnam​

What does a Performance Coach do?

 

A Performance Coach mentors singers, actors, dancers, and performers and prepares them for the stage by honing their talents and teaching them to perform with intention.  Clients learn to overcome their anxieties and control the room/stage with confidence.
