The Technique
What technique does Nancy teach?
Nancy teaches a proven method for screen auditioning and acting. The technique meshes Stanislavskian naturalistic acting with a pragmatic approach to calibrating performance specifically for camera.

- Use your own personal energy and charisma to play a stated performance
- target changes and discoveries in each scene
- Tell the Story
- Play in the eyes
