SHAWN-CAULIN’s COACHING METHOD

Focus
It all starts with learning to understand and embody the story you are asked to tell. With curiosity, you will learn how to decode a scene's essence so that you can be more authentic and free in the moment.
-
REFLECT
Next, we’ll reflect on how you relate to the character’s situation and circumstances to find empathy and your personal connection to the material that engages you and the audience.
-
Refine
We learn how to refine what we’ve discovered by exploring the text with specialized acting exercises designed to help you find the freedom to deliver a memorable performance that is uniquely you.
