Theater Artist / Theater Educator
Director, Actor & Coach
Voice & Speech Specialist

Click the links below for more information about my work as a theater artist and educator:

"I've worked with Evan extensively as both an acting coach and a voice & speech coach, and I have to say that his work is truly first-rate. His knowledge of the material and subsequent attention to detail leads to an invalauble coaching experience--all in a comfortable and relaxed work environment. His dedication and passion shines through in all that he does. Without Evan's help over the past few years, I doubt I'd be making my Broadway debut at the age of 24!"
-Nic Rouleau

  “In the theater there is a kind of Strange Sun, a light of abnormal intensity by which the difficult and even the impossible suddenly become our normal element.”  -Antonin Artaud


"From my work along side Evan as both vocal coach and colleague, I see a deep care for evolving artists, a passion for text & language, and a tireless pursuit of the wonder found in simple, honest expression. A true professional, Evan never settles for set ways but is always tweaking his approach to better serve the students that are inevitably empowered by his guidance. Without reservation I recommend him to anyone seeking to deepen their craft and take their technique to an inspiring new level."
-John Patrick
Former Head of Voice & Speech, Professional Actors Training Program, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Are you...?


"Dialects and heightened language such as Shakespeare and Chekov used to be some of my biggest fears, but beneath all of the words and sounds is something simple and human. Evan helped me to understand this. Once I knew the living breathing human within a dialect or language, the words and sounds that once scared me were suddenly mine. I could communicate instead of think 'I have no f**#!ng clue what I am saying.'"
