Hello!

      I am from a small town near Buffalo, New York.  Here it is hard to find talented coaches and working actors who can teach others the quality and "edge" needed to excel by drawing on their own experiences.  It is difficult for an adult actor to take the classes necessary to meet Casting Directors that can help groom them and sculpt their talent without the necessary foundation that is learned through competent local teachers.   I am sure others are facing this same dilemma as well.  I have such a passion for acting but cannot move to the big cities in order to pursue my dreams due to family ties.  Does anyone have a suggestion for me?  Would love to receive some advice!
