Actor coaching can be beneficial to everyone, even seasoned professional actors. Here's how. 

 

You will have one on one focus with a professional. 

 

Even in the classroom you are only one of many students that a instructor must oversee. In actor coaching you will be the primary focus of a professional actor coach. This attention will mean that you will have a very productive time spent working with them. 

 

Uncover nuances or details in your performance. 

 

Generally, practice in front of a mirror isn't going to help you identify the fine details of what you want to improve with your acting. Actor coaching means that even the smallest details can be identified and improved, individually it may not seem like much. However, when many things are identified and worked out you can find a huge improvement to your skills. 

 

Learn to receive constructive criticism and take feedback. 

 

As an actor you will face encounters with many different types of directors/coordinators/casting directors etc. They want to see you do the very best work you are capable of. Actor coaching will help you learn how to take constructive feedback and help it improve your performance. The role of those people is to help improve, rather than flat out identify flaws. What works in one performance may not work in another, and any actor is going to need to learn how to take that feedback without it being personal. Direction itself is also very important to understand. As a performer you will be given direction throughout your performances, understanding how best to follow can have a huge impact on getting cast. Actor coaching can help immensely. 

 

Learn how to prepare for auditions. 

 

One of the most important benefits of actor coaching is how you will learn to best identify your personal process for preparing for a role. This isn't an issue that you can simply search online for help for. Actor coaching will help you personally prepare for an audition. Since all actors have individual needs and strengths, one on one guidance is essential. 

 

Learn how to examine and develop a character. 

 

One of the most challenging aspects of acting can be identifying and becoming a certain character. Actor coaching will help you learn the skills to develop mannerisms, tone of voice, and behavior. These are extremely difficult challenges and can even cause some veteran actors to turn down roles they always wanted.
