One of the best parts of SkillsHub is learning directly from working professionals who genuinely want to help actors grow. This week's Open Coaches bring experience from animation, video games, commercials, improv, directing, and more.

Spotted a coach you've been wanting to work with? Before you give up because their schedule looks full, try sending a Coach Request. It's one of the easiest ways to let a coach know you'd love to book time with them. Take a look at this week's Open Coaches—you might just find your next mentor.
