“I was working on a show that did not allow time for the director to work with me on a monologue I had to deliver. In a bit of a panic I turned to Susan whose work I had seen; not only is Susan McGinnis an extremely talented actress, but she knows how to translate her inherent talent and intuitive abilities into her coaching. The work she did with me was insightful and effective, and alleviated all my concerns. She was also respectful of the fact that the piece was part of a greater whole, and made sure that the coaching she gave me never overstepped the director's vision.”

“I'm very particular with whom I trust with my instrument, so when I need help with important auditions I call Susan McGinnis. I love her specific, detailed-oriented process and I appreciate her honesty.  Being a working actress herself she “gets it.”  She has a broad knowledge of acting and she genuinely wants me to win. She recently helped me on an important audition for which I received a callback.  I highly recommend Susan to anyone who wants to master their craft.” 

-Shiek Mahmud-Bey


“Susan, comfortable with various acting techniques and styles of text, is a wonderful coach.  I worked with her on two pieces, one classical and one contemporary, and felt the utmost level of confidence and preparation for my auditions.  She is patient and creative, and truly gives you the freedom to work.”
