Private Coaching for Working Actors Who Need to Get Off Book FAST
If you’re juggling auditions, a demanding new role, or the next season of your hit TV series — you don’t have time to waste. My private coaching helps professional actors lock down lines with ease, stay confident under pressure, and deliver unforgettable performances.
Who This is For
- Series regulars, film or stage leads working on heavy or dense scripts.
- Performers with tight deadlines and high expectations.
- Established professionals who want a proven, streamlined system for memorization without guesswork.
Why Private Coaching
Even experienced actors get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of dialogue. My signature line memorization method is trusted by working professionals because it’s:
- Fast — you’ll master scripts in a fraction of the usual time.
- Personalized — your plan is tailored to your role and your schedule.
- Proven — I’ve helped actors prepare for everything from one-woman stage shows to 16-episode seasons of TV.
- Science-backed - my method uses proven strategies to optimize memory and learning.
Meet Joyce
I’m Joyce Hshieh, a line memorization coach and 3-day Jeopardy! champion.
My clients have included film, TV, and theatre professionals. Recent highlights include working with DeVon Franklin on his role in Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas.
Actors come to me when the stakes are high and time is short, and my job is to make sure the prep is seamless so they can get off book fast without stress or burnout, and stay grounded, confident, and performance-ready.
What You Get
When you step into this coaching experience, you’re not just getting sessions — you’re getting a done-for-you system that takes line memorization off your plate as much as possible, so you can focus on what you do best: showing up fully in the room and on set.
Here’s what’s included:
✨ Private Coaching Sessions (with Recordings & Notes)
Live Zoom sessions tailored to your project. You’ll walk away with clarity, concrete action steps, and a full recording to review anytime — so you never have to worry about forgetting what we covered.
✨ A Role-Specific Game Plan
No cookie-cutter strategies here — you’ll receive a fully customized plan designed for your exact role, script, and deadline — so you know exactly what to do, and when, without wasting precious time.
✨ Your Personal Client Portal & Tracker
A private online space where everything is organized for you — your plan, materials, progress tracker, and session notes all in one place — so you can stay on top of your work and deadlines without the stress of juggling scattered files.
✨ VIP Between-Session Support
Get answers fast. Whether it’s a quick question, a moment of panic before rehearsal, or a scheduling shift, you’ll have access to me via email or phone — so you’re never left stuck or second-guessing yourself.
✨ Done-for-You Script Breakdowns
Your scripts will be fully reformatted and organized into performance-ready versions that make memorization a lot easier — so you can save hours of prep, free your headspace, and focus on the craft, not the busywork.
✨ Complete Privacy & Confidentiality
All scripts, session notes, and communications are kept fully private and secure — so you can work confidently knowing your projects are safe.
Client Love
"Working with Joyce has been a total game changer. She's helped me find the rhythm, the breath, and the heart of every line - no matter how tangled or tongue-twisting. Her warm guidance and razor-sharp ear has made the whole process feel lighter, and, dare I say, fun. I couldn't have done it without her, and I will be back again and again."
