About Makha
I have an MFA in Classical Acting AND I work at Talent Company Management 360. There are NO acting coaches with my breadth of experience and knowledge!
I know you're a good actor/good orator already.
The fact that I can assist in making you a great actor and speaker, is an extreme honour.
My Mfa is a terminal degree, which means I'm qualified to teach at the University level. As a working actor, I love getting back to technique, which teaching gives me an opportunity to do.
Also, being a black Classical Actor is a type of teacher I've never had. It is my honour to be what I did not have.
I have an Mfa in Classical Acting from the Old Globe/University of San Diego (they only accept 7students a year), which means my specialty is Shakespeare, Moliere, Restoration and Comedy of Manners.
I also have a lot of industry knowledge that can only be learnt over time. Why waste your time, when I've already spent the time learning what is and isn't useful.

1st I listen. I need to hear the needs of the student.
I need to discern are they auditioning for anything, do they have any Shakespeare experience, how do they feel about Shakespeare?
After that I build a bit of a curriculum, Classically based but takes into account their needs.
All types.
I've taught Highschoolers at a Shakespeare intensive in Boise, ID when I was working with the Great Lakes Shakespeare festival.
I've also worked with PHD candidates who just want to feel as confident presenting their work, as they did compiling it.
Make sure they're the right teacher for YOU, not just that they're famous or have worked with famous people. That they speak YOUR language and they listen to your needs. Not how many reviews or how many famous people they know. Because my greatest teachers treated me like I was their most valuable student.
I'm currently preparing for a few Shakespeare auditions I can't talk about yet, but one is for a show I've never been in, and the other for a show I've done twice!
Using auditions as classes/training grounds changes them. That time, space and experience now belongs to you, regardles of the outcome.

In addition, I also created a webseries called "Sip & Tell" The highlights from Shakespeare, where I get to share Shakespeare stories, without all the "boring bits."

If you are looking to create a connected, specific, and joyful relationship to your craft as an actor, look no further than Makha Mthembu! Makha is a truly gifted acting coach. She brings profound compassion, penetrating curiosity, and keen insight to every session. Whenever we work together, I walk away with a clearer understanding of how to inhabit the material with intention, specificity, and playfulness. Working with Makha has taught me to take nothing for granted, to bring all of myself to roles, and to LIVE within roles instead of simply performing them. I'm immensely grateful for her guidance.
I like that they ask you what you are feeling in the scene and really get to the meat of what you’re trying to convey. They also offer insight into the script or scene that you may have overlooked or not even thought of. Lastly because they are an active actor/director they know how to communicate the notes and actions to try clearly. Truly amazing!

We have a lot to get done in a short amout of time, and the longer we work with one another, the more specialized the training. We’ll go into text analysis, and Classical techniques that feel like games, but "games" artists at the Straford Festival use to prepare their characters.
