 I’ve worked in TV and Film since 2008.

 

I’m sure you already know me because I’m super famous on Google. I had a huge role on shows like 90210, Outsourced, and Succession, where I won an Emmy got free snacks.
Once I realized how many free snacks I can get on set I decided to go out and make my own movie that I co-starred in and executive produced called 'Hot Mess Holiday' which you can find online and at Comedy Central because it's hilarious.

 What I do

I coach in either 1:1 or group virtual sessions. Each module is 1hr plus you get access to live virtual group actor/director sessions. See Module 5 for details.

Module 1
BREAKTHROUGH SESSION

Get ready to bust through all of your fears + anxiety around public speaking and/or being on camera. You’ll discover what's holding you back as I illuminate your blind spots. Then you’ll get specific, customized tools you can use immediately, including my secret tip on how to tap into a positive and confident state of mind right before you go on stage/go on camera.

Module 2
PERSONA SESSION

I’ll help you identify the unique personality characteristics that make you YOU and hone in on your existing superpowers so we can share that with your audience. I show you how to use the proven practice of creating a “persona” when you're on camera/stage so you feel totally authentic, natural and comfortable, while also being dynamic and interesting.

Module 3
INSIDE OUT SESSION

Heard of the Pixar movie “Inside Out”? If not, it’s a movie about a little girl who has emotions driving the spaceship of her mind and we get a peak inside how her mind works. Turns out we all have inner voices that are controlling our minds and have very specific reasons for operating the way they do. We do your inside out session and you learn how to navigate your own inner ship and become someone who can respond effectively to any situation.

Module 4
STORYTELLING PERSONA

Unlock the essential elements of storytelling so you can captivate your audience in a matter of seconds and keep them engaged the entire time! You’ll discover storytelling structures and tools to create compelling stories no matter the content or the audience. You’ll also learn how to stand out from other speakers on panels or at speaking engagements.

Module 5
THE DIRECTOR'S SESSION

Get real-time, invaluable feedback on your storytelling or speaking presence as you practice with me, just like a director works with an actor to fine tune their performance. We practice your delivery to make sure you come across authentically without any "rote" moments getting in the way. Tiny adjustments will make all the difference so you can be on camera like a pro!

Bonus Module
WRITING SESSION

This is super fun. In this session, we go over your personal story, presentation or any written content you’d like and make it pop! I’ll work with you 1:1 to structure and edit your material so it fits your brand voice and moves an audience. You’ll learn how to write from a storytelling point of view and infuse your personality into the content.

What People Are Saying

Karen Sokolow

“After just one session with Surina I felt an immediate shift. I mentally, verbally, and emotionally disposed of my negative thoughts I had been carrying for so long and it was really interesting to see the before and after in my same 30 second pitch and watch myself be more open, relaxed, and actually excited to be speaking the words I was saying.”

-Karen Sokolow | Founder and Creative Director at Awaken Studio

Scott Campbell

“Prior to my coaching with Surina I was a nervous wreck in front of the camera! Why couldn't I just be myself, like the way I am in person with my friends and clients?! Well, Surina helped me overcome all the feelings I had of nerves, fear, and the expectation of being "perfect" while on camera. Her coaching style allowed me to myself, and I felt comfortable throughout the sessions. Thank you Surina for the great experience, I feel definitely feel 10x more confident in front of the camera than I did prior to working with you!”

-Scott Campbell CFP, CCS, CHS | Wealth Coach

Sunil Nagaraj

“Before I worked with Surina I was worried about coming across arrogant in my presentations and when speaking on panels. After my first session with her, I learned to be more authentic and that a vulnerable delivery allows me to connect with audiences better and produces visible results. Each session I was pleasantly surprised with how much acting tips and tricks had an immediate and measurable benefit to my work as a VC. I came full circle from being nervous and reserved about who I was to being confident and generous about who I am.”

Most common FAQs

 

ADDITIONAL FAQ’S

  • This program was specifically designed for busy people and for people like Surina who isn’t lazyyyy per se but who doesn’t like doing a bunch of work :). Your initial commitment is 5 hours. Boom. That’s it. And that is the core transformational program where you will get results. People either finish the program within one week, one month, or 5 weeks depending upon your goals and your own pace.

  • Nope. Surina doesn’t like homework or prep work so why would she make her clients do that? You just show up and treat the time with her like a mental gym. She’s your trainer and she’ll run you through some exercises and you’ll do them and leave transformed. That’s it. This isn’t a cerebral process so it’s not about taking notes and thinking your way through this. This is more like an acting class and the way actors work is we work through feelings and through our body. This is why the program is super unique and provides lasting transformation.

  • You’re in perfect hands. I’ve found the clients who are the MOST petrified and who have the strongest desire to get better end up having the biggest transformations. You just have to do the work.

  • Yes! Schedule a call with us and we’ll go over that with you.

  • That’s great! There’s an awesome storytelling lesson built in and a way to practice becoming a better storyteller using simple frameworks you can use right away to stand out online, at work, or in parties :)

  • Yeah I hear you, we address exactly what’s going on with you and why you’re not consistently confident in that first breakthrough session. You’ll be golden after that.

  • Yup! I’ve got you. Schedule a call and me or someone from my team will go over the options I have for you.

  • You’re just expected to show up, be focused, set the time aside for us to work and not be distracted and put all your effort and energy in to the sessions. Just like if you were going to the gym for a personal training session. There will be some unconventional stuff that you’re going to have to do but that’s the fun part :)

  • A billion. No but seriously all of my clients do really well and end up manifesting really cool sh*t. One client landed a dream job at the NBA, another got her work to fly her around the world to do presentations after she nailed a big one that her boss normally did, and a few clients stopped taking anti-anxiety medicines they were dependent on when public speaking after just doing the first 3 modules.
