One of the things you need most while doing a self-tape is to relax and let your authentic self shine through. Talia has a way of making sure you come alive and execute with excellence at the same time.

The Act of Style Coaching specializes in the art of the audition, branding, and excavates truth.

Talia, the owner, is tried and true! You will walk out of your sessions feeling like this industry ain’t ready for you.

Period.

- Grace Byers (Empire, The Gifted)

I took an audition styling workshop with Talia at Gathered and it TRULY changed my life and career.

As a masculine presenting female going into the industry, I’ve subconsciously considered it a risk to walk into an audition room as who I am, out of fear that I will not be considered for female roles. Talia inspired me to always be myself, and the right jobs will come to me. Without that class there literally would have been 10 years added onto me trying to make it in NYC, no doubt.

Her class booked me my first job, and to that I say THANK YOU.

- Lily Newman, Gathered 2020 Student

Talia is a wonderful actress and a skilled coach. I trust in sending my clients to Talia because I know they will feel confident in their work, and discover moments they may not have found on their own.

- Mike Cruz, Whole Artist Management

Talia can do it all. On top of being a dynamic and versatile performer, Talia dresses to book. She brings the true essence of the character she is auditioning for and/or a sense of the time period of the piece beautifully without going into the dangerous territory of wearing a "costume". Presentation in this industry is crucial, and how an actor presents themselves does not go unnoticed by anyone behind the table. Any performer would benefit from a styling session with Talia.

- Katja Zarolinski, Casting Director (JZ Casting)

Working with Ms. Talia has been a wonderful experience and she has worked on every detail requested. Being flexible and giving a personal touch makes her an incredible source beyond just a coach. A personality full of spunk is just an additional bonus she brings to each session.

- Dharmangi & Sway Bhatia (The Mighty Ducks, Succession)

Talia’s eye is keen and her truth detector is sharp. Her ability to help one find clues in the script that so many would gloss over is such an exciting thing to benefit from. There's no one like her.

- Jason Veasey (The Lion King, A Strange Loop, Insomnia)

Talia is a wonderful coach. I received sides for a big audition and was having issues with the scene. She took her time with me and encouraged me to take risks, have fun, and more importantly be specific. Not only did I win the room after my session with Talia but the casting director applauded. My tape made it to producers and I felt empowered. Don't walk but RUN to Talia for coachings. She is the real deal!
