Private Coaching Offerings

---

For leaders preparing high-stakes presentations — from TED-style talks to board meetings — we offer one-on-one creative direction to shape, rehearse, and refine your message.
This is not speechwriting. It’s performance-driven storytelling that lands.
Because great leadership starts with how you tell the story.

This isn’t just about shaping a script — it’s about unlocking something real.

At Hudson Valley Improv, our approach to solo work is rooted in connection, presence, and spontaneity. Whether you come in with a blank page, a rough outline, or a jumble of ideas, we’ll help you uncover the emotional spine of your story and shape it into something deeply personal and unforgettable.

Through a mix of improv-driven exploration, structure work, and honest feedback, we guide performers, speakers, and storytellers to claim their voice, clarify their message, and bring their story to life with confidence, craft, and heart.

Find your voice. Sharpen your set. Own the room.

Our stand-up coaching isn’t cookie-cutter — it’s crafted for comics who want to elevate their material and their presence. Whether you’re just starting out, refining a tight five, or building a full set, we work with you to develop original, authentic material that actually sounds like you.

Through collaborative brainstorming, improv-inspired idea mining, timing work, and performance coaching, we help comedians turn half-formed bits into gold — and shaky confidence into true stage command.

No formulas. No shortcuts. Just bold, honest, and hilarious work that’s uniquely yours.

We don’t coach you on how to sing or play — we coach you on how to perform.

This is about bringing your music to life onstage with presence, emotion, and power. Whether you're a solo artist or a full band, we help you act your music — so every song lands with the impact it deserves.

Our coaching focuses on connection with the audience, authenticity in delivery, and the cohesion of your group’s identity. We refine how you speak between songs, how you carry energy across a set, and how your physicality supports your sound.

If your songs already move people — your performance should too. We’ll help you get there.

Two months into my solo-coaching with Samantha Jones and we have outlined an entire one-woman-show! Her assigned prompts allowed me to explore topics I hadn't yet considered. Her feedback forced me to consider new narrators, new approaches, silly and sorrowful angles. Her expertise extracted performances I would have never known lived inside me, apparently itching to get out! Beyond those tangible rewards, Sam's infectious laugh, her open heart, and her ability to actively listen to my stories has changed me as an artist, and (dare I say) newly-minted confident person. I have never created this fluidly before; she's made me feel safe and supported enough to do so. She once called my story an "emergency" for audiences. I say, attending her private solo-coaching sessions is an emergency for artists!
