ABOUT ANNA.
|
A Venezuelan born, East Coast-bred actor living in Los Angeles, Anna starred as sassy, gum-snapping “Jamie” in the critically acclaimed IAMA production of Bess Wohl’s American Hero (“boundlessly funny” — Los Angeles Times) and is a Stage Raw Award recipient for female comedy performance for her take on “Betty 3” in Collective Rage: A Play in 5 Boops at Boston Court. Her TV credits include: Vida on Starz (recurring); Love, Victor on Hulu; Call Your Mother (opposite Kyra Sedgwick) and Grey's Anatomy on ABC. She was selected to participate in the ABC Discovers Showcase.
She studied with acclaimed Meisner teacher, Maggie Flanigan in NYC. She received her MFA from the University of Washington where she TA'd for undergrad acting students and discovered her love of coaching. She founded Put Me On Self-Tape in 2016 and coaches working actors on their self-tape and in-person auditions - including Bridget Regan (Jane The Virgin), Travis Van Winkle (The Last Ship), Raul Castillo (ATypical), Sharon Lawrence (Shameless), Dina Shihabi (Altered Carbon) and more. Her main goal is to empower actors to take control of their storytelling and re-discover the joy that comes from owning your work. |

Anna LaMadrid is hands down the best coach I have ever worked with/taped with. Not only does she know exactly what to do with the frame, she manages to get your shiny, sweating, sometimes pink face looking incredible. She’s not only one of my most favorite comedic actresses, she has a unique understanding of how to actually direct comedy. She just gets it. But most importantly, she is a master at breaking down and then emphasizing character in the sometimes narrow context of a single scene. A seemingly simple moment of depth that will undoubtedly take you that extra mile with casting. I trust her implicitly. Work with Anna! You will book!

“I love working with Anna because it doesn’t feel like work. We really just play and explore our way to the heart of the scene. She’s the best.”

Anna is the best coach for self tapes I’ve ever worked with. As an actress herself, she brings all she has to the session. She offers up her instincts with so much generosity and conviction that it really helps take you where you need to go. I’ve always felt so proud of the work we’ve done together and I feel like I continue to learn so much from her. She is truly the best.

Anna is AMAZING! With auditions moving in the direction of self-taping more it is easy to get caught up in what you think the "rules" are and trying to do things "right". It is also easy to feel stuck in a certain frame which restricts creativity and comfortability. After working with her and taking the What's My Frame? course I feel like I have the tools and knowledge to shoot an amazing self-tape! Thank you Anna!"

WHAT STUDENTS SAY...
Anna gives a no bullshit and very assessable framing course with What's My Frame? that will allow you to feel very confident in making strong decisions in your scenes. She is giving you your creativity back as an actor." |

Anna is concise in her approach and so FUN!! You just wanna hang out with her! I was already leveling up my self tape game, but working with her pushes me even further. Even though I've been taping for a while, there were concepts in the What's My Frame? course that I hadn't even heard about, which just goes to show...we can always learn something new. I appreciate the Pro Tips and cheat sheets and I can't wait to put it all into practice."
