Welcome to East Van Coaching – Where Creativity Meets Community!

Founded in 2020, East Van Coaching began as a way to support actors during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing high-quality self-tapes when casting offices were closed. What started as a one coach has transformed into one of Vancouver’s busiest self-taping and audition studios, now operating out of three studios on Commercial Drive.

Our studio is buzzing with activity, welcoming everyone from new actors to seasoned pros. Whether you're auditioning for Barista #1 or the lead in a new series, we’re here to support you. With our finger on the pulse of industry trends, we provide everything you need to shine – from personalized coachings to classes taught by working actors and workshops led by guest industry professionals like agents, casting directors, and producers.
