Coach — About Mark Price

a note from mark:

I believe in empowering creatives with artistry and technique so they may cultivate more courage and truth in their work.

In short, I’m interested in what YOU bring to the table.

At the core of every performer is the truth of what makes them unique – who they really are. By enhancing your strengths and qualities - already alive within you – I am able to clearly pinpoint blind spots in a safe and supportive environment so you can, not only, activate your own impulse, but trust it.

Helping artists get out of their own way so they begin to trust that they’re “enough” is the core of my work. It’s what lights me up most.

My 20 year career on Broadway, television, film, and concert stages has provided me a methodology to help clients secure their own Broadway, film and television credits, as well as get accepted into the countries best M.F.A. programs (A.R.T., A.C.T. and more). Pulling from a variety of sources, including Viewpoints, Meisner, and sense memory, I work with both internal and external approaches to help stimulate process-oriented results that are not only sustainable, but also exciting.

I’m also the co-founder and creator of Base Camp, a coaching intensive for creatives with life coach Di Ana Pisarri. And, as a Vedic Meditation teacher, I believe by combining both body and mind, you can access avenues of inspiration and practical knowledge that can help re-engineer your creativity and life from the inside out, in a way that feels possible.

I look forward to helping you bring that unique creativity into every audition and room in your life.

What people say:

Noah Plomgren

Mark is a remarkable teacher and human, in that he immediately reminds you why you got into this business in the first place. My audition game took a HUGE step up after coaching with him. The sense of play and fun that he encourages is unmatched by anyone else I've worked with. He works with actors and breaks down scenes in very practical and smart ways so that you can succeed in giving the most kickass audition you can, in addition to helping you make the audition room your own personal party.

Marisa Fratto

Here's the secret sauce with Mark - it's 100% about you as an actor. He - straight up - has no ego (unbelievable considering he's been in about a dozen Broadway shows). And because it's actually about the work - great things happen. I booked my first TV gig because of Mark, not to mention took control of my auditioning in a holistic way I'd never thought possible. It makes an EPA call an enjoyable experience (if you can believe it). You will be challenged, you will recalibrate what you bring to this business, and you will have some serious support along the way. He makes it seem like this business just might be possible after all. Get in on the Mark Price magic.

Stephanie Card

Let's just get one thing straight - words aren't good enough to describe the Mark Price experience. He has given me so much more than the tools I needed to book work as an actor. Mark has inspired me to live a full, balanced, healthy life that allows me to thrive as a creative human being. He has empowered me to risk everything on a daily basis. I know that I can take daring leaps every day, because I now have a net of hope, joy, and peace to catch me if I fall. That net exists only because Mark walked into my life.

Mark Edwards

Working with Mark Price changes the way you look at acting. He truly is the teacher of the 21st Century. In every session I have had with Mark, I have felt 100% comfortable to let down my guard and play in an environment that is nonjudgmental, encouraging, and fun! He is not only an amazing teacher but a wonderful person who helps you find your truth in every piece of material you bring to the table. I cannot express how much of an impact he has made on me and my career as an actor.

Ryan Cupello

Mark created an environment where I felt free to play. He helped me go beyond the obvious choices to make the story more interesting.

Maggie McNeil

Mark creates an incredible environment that gives you the safety to fail beautifully and get back up and stay in the game. He allows you to reignite your sense of play and lives in an ever-present state of curiosity that inspires you to do the same.

I can say with complete certainty that I wouldn't be where I am as an artist or as a human without the work I've done with him, and he is an irreplaceable part of my support team. There is no safer or more inspiring place to create, grow, and thrive than with Mark.

Jennifer Beth Mintzer

Working with Mark has been such an amazing experience. He has such a gift for seeing you and valuing you; the changing space of where you are in the moment and what you need in every moment. He revels in creativity and play, and allows you to experiment in a safe environment. He challenges you, supports you and helps you see the possibility of what you can be - with humor, grace and joy. I have learned so much from Mark.

Tim Heller

Mark makes the audition room/studio your playground for exploration and discovery. Really bringing everything that is special about you to the forefront.

Nicole Kang

Working with Mark is an incredible because I always leave knowing that I have a specific and honest scene, but I also have one that is uniquely my own. That's important in any audition. He is someone that is incredibly curious in searching for what makes YOU funny, interesting, captivating!

Abbe Tanenbaum

I feel like Mark is my secret weapon. When we work together, I have a much greater and deeper understanding of what I want to achieve with the scene or song. Mark helps me bring my best self into the room.

Alan Schmuckler

Mark is wise, empathetic and so perceptive. He brings out the best in his students; he's taught me about myself. I've loved working with him and would recommend him in a heartbeat.
