A note from Lydia: With a 95% callback rate for monologue auditions and a role with a major television network under my belt, I love to help actors craft their monologues to best showcase their strengths in a vulnerable and intimate way.

"Lydia is great about helping you choose monologues and giving you advice about them afterwards. Her coaching me has led me to have great audition monologues and successful auditions. She is really thoughtful about what is best for you."

“I have enjoyed the Vision8 classes I took this past year. I especially liked the classes I did with Lydia Ellis-Curry. Her upbeat, positive way of instructing and Lydia’s real world experience as an actress are wonderful. It seems my acting has improved to the point that I was able to get coaching from Lydia for my 'Pata General Audition’ this year. She is great!”
