Denise Simon Coaching

The space to show what your best at is never the same space to challenge yourself.

The audition is the presentation, not the work in progress.

Challenge yourself in practice.
At home.
With your coach.
Or in class.

But when it comes to the audition, show them what you're made of! Thank you for your brilliant insight !

This is one of the scariest realities that actors face, and it's why it is so incredibly important that you're navigating this industry with the right team and support.

We dove deep into the dark side of fame and fortune on 's Hollywood Demons. This clip is from Season 2, Episode 3: After the Bell.

You've seen them before but not like this...

This emotionally riveting scene with Kimberly McCoin () and Phoenix Crepin is a perfect example of what it looks like when a scene drives your talent. We knew Kimberly had strong emotion to showcase, and Phoenix's dark side hadn't been the light, so we wrapped it all in one.

June 18th is the last day to sign up for YAFE Session 1 starting July 6th - 11th. Real on-set experience, professionally scripted and filmed reel (like this) made for you, and live coaching from me throughout. If your child star is ready to take their acting to the next level, this is your sign!

Kim Pedell, Manager at ZOOM Talent Management has seen a lot over the past 15 years in the industry, and her hot take on self tapes is to get rid of anything that doesn't serve what you're auditioning for!

Start from the outsider perspective, and ask yourself: If I'm seeing me for the first time, would I want me for this role?

In middle school telling a secret is basically announcing it on the news!

But let's talk about this beautiful balance of personality with Lola Spinale and Ella Reichbach. One brings the passionate fire to the friendship, and the other follows her heart no matter what her head tells her. It's their personal touches that make it clear who they are in under 20 seconds.

That's the magic of YAFE. We develop scenes just like this to show your best sides.

This is the conversation this industry has needed to have for a long time, and I was grateful to have it on HBO's Hollywood Demons!

This industry can be extraordinary, and it can also be brutal. Usually it's both at the same time.

It's the families who understand how this business actually works who protect their kids from the parts of it that don't make the highlight reel.
