My approach
As your Acting Coach, I’m here to empower you, the artist — on set, in performance and during your audition preparation. I approach your acting performance through the Meisner Technique.
As actors, we are problem solvers. Our choices, moment to moment, breathe life into the world for which we’ve been hired to live. Each one of us brings a unique point-of-view to the work. When we truly listen and really respond, we infuse the work with an unmatched depth of TRUTH.
“Not often do acting coaches come along who have in their capacity a rich understanding of psychology, human behavior, and story.
Jordana is one of those rare breeds of artist coaches that breathes life into the actor’s process and helps to synthesize all the different elements required of us as actors to live freely in the role.”

“When I was asked to do 4 American Women, a new play by David Mamet, Jordana does what she always does - she helped me get there, to find the truth of the character.
The wants of this person, their perspective and point of view. The honesty and the why? Why in the hell is this person telling us this? What is the motivation? Sometimes I need help finding those things and when I do, I know where to go. Somehow she sees it even when I sometimes cannot. “
