SVA Mentorship Program
- Weekly thirty minute sessions 1:1 with Shana to keep you on track.
- Enrollment into up to four Level 2 courses. YEAH -- take them more than once. That's how you get better.
- Send Shana up to 10 auditions a month for coaching on them BEFORE you send them. NOTE, I need to take Sun/Mon off.
- Support for your marketing, demos, studio... anything you need help with!
- NEW! If you are ready, work on up to two demos with Shana (writing/directing/recording) and then you pay the wholesale cost to our sound engineer (approx. $400-$600)
Cost: $2225 for six months, plus additional support for 6 months following. (Includes monthly workouts and audition support)
People have asked... here is more info on months 6-12:
1. Once a month meetings with me 1:1 - or up to two, if needed.
2. Once a month workout with current and alumni mentorship folks to work on scripts in a group setting and socialize.
3. Feedback on any of the “work at your own” pace courses that come with the mentorship. These take time to get through and you still have full support during the whole year.
4. Continued auditioning feedback - up to 10 auditions or samples per month from me. (This is the real gold).
5. Demo work — this is a good time to get going on the demos if you are ready
Choose to break it into four payments - invoiced every month for the first four months.
DEADLINE FOR THIS ROUND: December 22nd. We open up mentorship every three-six months depending on how much space is available. 8 slots open.

When not locked in a small studio somewhere capturing the sounds of dying dolphins, you can find Shana touring her one-person show about the time her heart tried to explode in Ireland, camping, hiking and hanging out with her amazing husband, daughter, German Shepherd and her obnoxious but cute corgi.
