About Nicole Ghastin
From Michigan to LA
One of the things I’m most proud of is pursuing my dream of becoming an actor—and making it a reality. I moved to LA without a single connection and went on to build a full-time acting career for over 15 years. I know firsthand how challenging this business can be, and I specialize in helping actors find a sustainable, realistic path to making their dreams possible. Coaching young actors and consulting with parents sets me apart from most coaches you will find. I am here to help navigate the industry with confidence. My goal is to make their dreams of acting a reality while enjoying the process.
What Landed Me Into Coaching
When auditions shifted to self-tapes and Zoom, I quickly mastered what works on camera. With over 20 years of acting experience, I kept up my commercial bookings and saw a dramatic up tick in tv and film. Word got around to other actors, managers, and agents—many of whom began sending clients my way for commercial, film, and TV auditions. During this time, I founded the Culver City Kids Acting Class, taught actors internationally through JRP Virtual, and spent time working in the youth department at Taylor Talent Services, giving me a strong understanding of what young actors (and their parents) truly need. What began as helping friends has grown into a passion for helping actors book with ease, specificity, and authenticity.
