COACHING
As Associate Artistic Director of Bay Street Theater, and a professional director for over 25 years, I have had thousands of singers and actors audition for me, and have observed the traps and habits that held them back and kept them from booking the job.
My work releases the performer’s natural energy and creativity, while providing a framework that promotes focus and maximizes the presence of the actor, deepening their connection to the material. I am also available for consultation regarding monologue and song choice, as well as cold reading skills.

coaching testimonials:
"Will manages to dependably elicit stunning performances from actors and singers that feel spontaneous, yet deeply felt, and are beautifully structured, yet surprising. Will has conducted audition workshops for our theater, and always finds supportive ways to unlock the creative potential in actors and singers in a way that is transformative. He has an enviable ability to diagnose and solve actor problems as well as consult on material."

"During my first session with Will Pomerantz, I found myself on doing things I never thought I could do -- within literally minutes, without even realizing it, I had gone from singing frozen in place to living in the world of the song and working physically without a shred of self-consciousness. I genuinely don't know how he did it – the debilitating self- consciousness that had plagued me for years was gone in minutes."
– Cecilia Ticktin, Singer Actor
