Instructior Bio:

Marishka S. Phillips was born into the entertainment business. Her mother, Sandra Reaves-Phillips was an award-winning actress, in addition to being a writer and a singer. Marishka grew up immersed in theater, film and television, so it was not surprising that she would follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her career path has been anything but traditional, though it started off that way. She landed on Broadway. When she was not traveling the world with a musical or as a backup singer with recording artists like Sean “P Diddy” Combs and Cece Winans, and Mexican pop star, Cristian Castro, she was developing and fortifying other aspects of her talents.

Coaching other actors has become a central part of Ms. Phillips career development. She has been an instrumental force in helping actors such as Kerry Washington (Scandal), Nicole Beharie (Miss Juneteenth/The Morning Show) which earned her performance a 2024 EMMY AWARD. Celia Rose Gooding (Jagged Little Pill/Star Trek: Strange New World) achieve some of their best performances, and has received credit for doing that, as a result, she has become a much in demand acting coach. (visit her on YouTube).

The Marishka Method - She currently coaches Nafessa Williams (I Wanna Dance With Somebody/Rivals on Hulu), Taja V. Simpson (The Oval) Shaquita Smith (Wicked City), Tasha Smith (Why Did I Get Married) and many more.
