Personal Note: As an actor, I have been in major audition rooms and producer's sessions in Hollywood since the age of 12. Working with actors of all ages and skill levels brings me much joy. I learn so much from coaching. It is a sheer pleasure to share my experience and skills over my many years of being an American TV & film actress. See: IMDb Profile here to view my resume and biography. I am highly familiar with the gamut of aspects that make up the business side of the working actor as well as the demands of being a working actor and artist. Finding the connection between balancing the business of being an actor with the actual work and joy of character and story/script exploration and study is vital to stay afloat. Cold reading, improvisation, group workshops, scene, script and character breakdown, screenplay editing, demo reel creation, and audition preparation are in the realm of my expertise after 30 years working in the industry.
I utilize several self-crafted methods when I am hired to work in TV, film, and theatre, dependent upon the project and what is required of the role in the project. This is what I teach. We play human beings. We do not play ourselves; we bring ourselves, offer ourselves to the situations of others. Acting is a highly personal, highly psychological, highly emotional, highly generous profession and hobby for some. Some like sessions due to language learning, building confidence in front of others, or merely because they find it interesting. My aim is to guide actors in a direction that is rich and personal for whatever work they are currently doing or to exercise by honing in on a craft that becomes his/her very own that will serve to build muscle sufficient enough to carry one through the demands and joys of acting.

RECOMMENDATIONS
"Missy Crider's insight to character and material boarders on spooky. Her vast experience in the industry allows her to know just what makes the difference between a good audition and a GREAT one. I have booked many roles with the help of Missy's coaching and even the times I don't book, I feel I've become a better actor from working with her."
-Jeffrey Vincent Parise, actor, painter
"Missy Crider assisted me in coaching and acting sessions for two independent films before I moved from Los Angeles. Coincidence or not, I booked both jobs! With her help, I booked my first big supporting role. She has over twenty-five years of experience as an actor, writer, and director in Hollywood. It was an honor as well as fun to work with her. She helped me find the inner life of my character as well as sensory choices I would have never thought of on my own. I highly recommend Missy Crider for any actor who is serious about booking and working as in actor in Hollywood. She is truly a real artist who knows how to understand another person's experience unselfishly. She sees into your strengths and liabilities and there is a safety in this that allows you to stretch personally and professionally. She directs the actor with honesty and love."
