V O I C E & T E X T C O A C H I N G
Gigi Buffington, AEA, SAG/AFTRA, VASTA, is a Brazilian-American Voice and Text Coach, and Arts Professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
As the only Voice and Text practitioner in the United States trained by Patsy Rodenburg with a Master's Degree in Training Actors (Voice) from Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and by Robert Neff Williams in his two- year professional program in New York City, Gigi Buffington's approach to coaching is deeply informed by her former work as a professional modern dancer and actor. Whether coaching at the Royal Shakespeare Company, on Broadway and Off, Steppenwolf, BAM's Next Wave Festival, or as an Arts Professor at NYU's Tisch School for the Arts, she brings herself wholly into each production or coaching session with sensitivity, skill, and methodologies to support greater performances in each artist with whom she works.
