THE Authentic Approach
with Avriel
Rigorous, subtext-driven script analysis meets a process for channeling your true self into the character’s psychology.
A method that helps experienced actors breakthrough barriers and deliver performances that are deeply connected, intuitively motivated, and profoundly authentic.
Discover the daring and vulnerability that sets great actors apart and achieve a new level of artistry.

Breakthrough
Authentic Acting Coaching helps you get out of that spiral-downward trap: of rushing into doing superficial work that is aimed to please, or is stuck in playing an idea, or which comes from a voice in your head that takes you away from the truth of moment.
Your choices must be unique to you and grounded in your unique truth.
Artistry
The most bold exciting choices are the most honest ones.
But finding what is honest, that is the magic.
Acting requires unfiltered bravery,
channeled through an intuitive intelligent filter.
EVERY CHARACTER HAS A SECRET, A HIDDEN WOUND, AND A PRIMAL WANT—
YOUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THEM match YOUR OWN.
Courageous vulnerability is your primary asset.
NURTURE IT.
WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO SAFELY DARES YOU TO GO TO THE DEEPEST PLACES.
Acting is the process of discovering the connection of your soul to the soul of the character.
But you gotta know how to talk to the soul of it.
If you are not grounded in your own experiences, you cannot invade anyone else’s.
But if you get grounded the world of experiences are yours.
THIS IS A CRAFT OF THE HEART.
THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO ACT, CHOOSE TO EMBRACE "THE LOVE" OF EVERY MOMENT.
WHAT I ENDEAVOR TO DO IS HELP YOU CLAIM YOUR RIGHT TO IMAGINE, TO DREAM, AND TO
CONSTANTLY FALL IN LOVE.
AN ACTOR ON FIRE HAS THE POWER TO CAPTIVATE THE WORLD.
Get curious. Investigate the clues. Don’t decide what it is in advance,
enter with an open-mind and full heart and discover.
There are no “right" answers, there is no failure in artistry, there is only choice and wonder.
Get fully invested in substantive exciting choices and the magic follows.

Marc Pierre
ActorI have worked with many Broadway level directors, but Avriel's work with me was uniquely direct, bold, and inspiring, and challenged me in ways that unleashed my instincts and deepened my connection with other actors. Her way of putting things just hooked me in to a whole new side of my craft.
Mari Nelson
Broadway actressAvriel is the as good as it gets when it comes to coaching for actors. She sees. It’s not that she just that she knows her way around scene structure and character development (which she keenly does), but that she has that gift of seeing the things beyond the scene (beyond & in between; the subconscious depths of unspoken meaning, to the invisible but ever-present heights of the dreams that drive the characters inside). It’s not just seeing—it’s vision.
