Natalie’s Approach to Teaching

“Acting is doing. Let’s get up and work.”

At NGA, the focus is on giving actors real tools they can use in the room — whether that’s an audition, a rehearsal, or a shoot. Natalie is a hands-on, physical teacher who believes actors learn best by doing. Sessions are dynamic, grounded, and tailored to the needs of the group.

“My first priority is that actors feel safe and comfortable when they come into the studio, able to explore a wide variety of drama scripts and genres. I consider myself a physical teacher — I get actors on their feet, working in the space, and developing a strong sense of professional etiquette that will serve them in every room they walk into.”

Natalie’s classes provide:

A supportive, no-ego training environment
A strong focus on industry-standard scripts and practices
Guidance from someone actively working in the industry
Creative exploration across a wide range of genres
Opportunities to build confidence, presence, and resilience
