Acting Coaching with Vedra Grant

Helping Actors Sharpen Their Craft for Film and Television

Since 2019, I’ve been a dedicated student at the Dortch Acting Studio. I’ve trained extensively in techniques tailored for on-camera work in film and television.

I’m thrilled to now be part of the coaching staff, working with adult actors who are serious about elevating their craft. In class, my goal and focus is centered around sharing techniques I have learned to help each actor build truthful, grounded performances that translate powerfully on screen. Whether you’re auditioning for a role, refining your technique, or preparing for set, I offer tools that are rooted in the story, character, and connection—always pushing for growth while nurturing authenticity.

Private Coaching

In addition to studio classes, I also provide private coaching for actors who prefer one-on-one support. These sessions are tailored to your individual needs—whether you’re preparing for an audition, breaking down a script, developing a reel, or exploring emotional accessibility in your work. Private sessions are a space for honest feedback, exploration, and breakthroughs. I love helping actors uncover what’s unique about their voice and heart, while guiding them toward choices that bring their characters to life.

Here’s what a few of my private clients have said:

  • “I have LOVED Vedra’s Sunday Film Acting Class. She creates an enriching, challenging, and encouraging environment that has helped me grow as an actor and book roles. She truly cares about all the students. I highly recommend studying with this studio.”

  • “Vedra helped me prep for my first lead role audition, which was the horror film called Crispy that was cast in Boston, and I ended up booking it!! I had never auditioned for a movie before and didn’t really know the character well. She came over and really helped me get into character and feel confident with my performances. I appreciated how easy and fun she was to work with and how much she cared about making the performance feel real. The movie is on Amazon Prime and I honestly don’t think I could’ve done it without her coaching”

  • Working with Vedra has been nothing short of being transformative. Every audition I’ve walked into since training with her has been rooted in a newfound confidence, emotional truth, and clarity of intention. Vedra has an incredible gift for pulling out the most honest, layered version of a performance; one that feels both personal and powerfully connected. She’s also a ton of fun to work with if you’re serious about your craft and you want someone in your corner who sees your potential and pushes you to rise to it.
