30 Years On Set, On Stage, and In Your Corner

I’m Leslie Infalt — actor, writer, director, and your new favorite coach.

With over three decades in the industry, I’ve done it all: from national commercials to indie films, from directing stage productions to repping talent as an agent. I’ve coached actors at every level, taught in schools, and sat on both sides of the casting table.

I know the craft, the business, and the BS — and I’m here to help you navigate it all with skill and confidence.

My coaching isn’t fluff. It’s real-world training that helps you audition stronger, book smarter, and build a career that lasts. Whether you’re brand new or leveling up, I meet you where you are… and push you where you need to go.
