We all want to feel confident, prepared, and excited for an upcoming audition.
Let me help you achieve your artistic goals, in a supportive environment with helpful feedback!
My name is Tiffani Swalley and I have been on both sides of the audition table and camera. I've helped cast and run hundreds of auditions; from student plays to Broadway Stages, National Tours, Films and Commercials.
My goal is to bring out your most authentic, informed and polished auditions. We will accomplish this through dramaturgical exploration and specific feedback. Each artist has different experience levels and each audition gives you a specific set of needs, let's conquer these together!

Here's what Actors are saying about Coaching Sessions.
Matthew Patrick Quinn
New York City
Broadway; Hadestown and National Tour, Murder on the Orient Express; The Old Globe, Finding Neverland National Tour
"After seeing Tiffani's work as the Associate Director of the Hadestown Tour, I decided to hire her for an audition coaching. Well, I booked the job!
There was even a moment when she offered a suggestion that I turned down and what happened? In the audition the director gave me the same suggestion before having me do the scene again. Hire her! She knows what she's doing."
Marla Lou
New York City
Broadway; Hadestown, The First National Tour Hadestown, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical US Tour
"Tiffani's direction style gave me wings to develop my Fate and Persephone on the Hadestown Tour with confidence! Their leadership and co-creation of character has exponentially increased my decision making as a theater maker who did not go to school for performing/dramaturgy etc.
When I walked into the first day of rehearsals in NYC I shared with them my anxieties coming in and through our work together, Tiffani helped me create characters grounded in the world around us and helped keep an 8 show week interesting with limitless possibilities onstage. I hope the stars align for us to make more legendary and collaborative art together!"
Jonathan Allsop
Chicago
Regional; American Psycho, Into the Woods, Caroline or Change
"Tiffani is very intent on seeing what you bring to the table and then enhancing it with an intentional view on storytelling and connection. As an artist, I truly leave my sessions not only feeling like I got a good workout in the "artist gym," but I am also excited to continue to tackle the work. In such a challenging industry, feeling this way is absolutely paramount."
Julie Marchiano
Los Angeles
Barry, The Second City Resident Stage, Sports Lite w/ Mike Hall, Love in the Time of Irony
"Coaching with Tiffani is like talking to an old friend. Any stress you might have about your upcoming audition is immediately alleviated, because she makes you feel at ease from the moment the session starts. They ask great questions without judgement, offer their insights without pressure, and are a talented actor in their own right, which is a gift."
