Professional Acting & Writing Coach

I offer private, one-on-one coaching for actors and creatives seeking a deeper relationship to their work. Sessions are tailored to the individual and designed to support both craft and confidence.

Private writing coaching is offered for writers and creatives working on memoirs, personal essays, screenplays, long-form projects, or hybrid forms. This one-on-one work supports writers and creatives in developing voice, structure, and momentum while working with memory, meaning, and craft.

In Verona, I offer private one-on-one immersion retreats for writers, actors, creatives, and seekers looking for depth, clarity, and sustained engagement in their work.
The work is direct, contained and orientated towards what matters.
In addition to private work, I collaborate with acting studios, institutions, cultural organizations, and leadership programs interested in narrative, voice, presence, and embodied communication.

Caren Adorni is an international acting coach, story consultant, and creative mentor working at the intersection of craft, philosophy, and embodied intelligence. She holds a master’s degree in Theater from UCLA and a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy.
For over two decades, she has supported actors, writers, and creatives in cultivating presence, emotional truth, and narrative clarity. Her academic foundation bridges technique, philosophical inquiry, and somatic awareness, and her classes have been accredited at New York University.
Caren has taught and directed throughout the United States and Europe in university settings, conservatories, theater ensembles, and international festivals. Her work is grounded in the understanding that creative expression emerges most fully when the intellect, imagination, and body are in dialogue. Her approach invites actors, writers, and creatives to reconnect with the body as a source of intelligence, authority, and meaning.
Actors are crafted storytellers.
Actors use their craft to express the complexities of what we call the human condition.
However, an actor needs much more than craft. An actor needs empathy.
I have found that it can be difficult to teach empathy.
But I have also found that through encouraging actors to look at others’ lives, their triumphs and their struggles, empathy can be cultivated.
Through this new way of seeing, I’ve witnessed actors make that courageous leap from egocentrism to altruism. It is an embodied experiential leap, not a theoretical leap.
When this happens, an actor’s work is forever changed.
