Auditioning should be fun. Let’s play.
On-going group classes now on Zoom
Eden is an actor and acting coach living and working in NYC and LA. Clients have booked series regular gigs on television, major film roles, and Broadway plays.
Audition coaching is something that came upon Eden naturally. Beginning in 2014 she was involved with creative groups and classes with actors who gave each other feedback. More and more of her colleagues began to ask if they could come over to run their auditions, and before she knew it several people a day were asking for her help. These folks started referring friends to her and Lo and Behold! Her career as an audition coach had begun.
As an actor, Eden has worked on many television shows, including recurring arcs on Living with Yourself on Netflix, Showtime's House of Lies, and two seasons on Neflix's Orange Is the New Black. She’s had guest roles on the Netflix limited series Halston, Hulu’s Will Trent, NBC’s Law and Order: SVU (twice!), CBS’s FBI: Most Wanted, NCIS, and Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, ABC’s Castle, FX’s American Horror Story, Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Netflix’s The Good Cop, as well as a handful of roles in feature films.
She attended the Cannes Film Festival in France as well as The Sundance Film Festival with the award-winning movie, “The Climb,” which hit theaters worldwide May 2020. She has appeared in over 20 national commercials and has spent a lifetime on the stage both in and out of New York.
Testimonials
Don’t take it from her. Take it from them.
"Eden is AWESOME. She’s helped me with auditions for years. Not only is she spot-on in her coaching, she is FUN and SWEET. I absolutely adore her and recommend her to everyone."
JESSICA LU
Star of CBS’s “God Friended Me,” NBC’s “Reverie,” and MTV’s “Awkward.”
"When I first received this audition, I felt overwhelmed because I knew who the character was in my heart but didn't exactly know how to reach her. After coaching with the lovely Eden, the character came to life!! Eden gave me the confidence to go for the comedy and embrace the character as a full three dimensional woman. I always feel free to explore when I work with her which ends up producing the best work. I recommend Eden to everyone I know, seriously!"

“Eden's flexibility and insight make for comfortable and productive sessions anytime I coach with her. She naturally gives space for creative ideas, while also making sure to craft scenes that are technically and visually on point. Eden does a fantastic job of imparting her knowledge and wisdom of the craft of acting without being overbearing. This gives me the freedom to take ownership of the creative process, to create scenes that are uniquely me. #EdenCantBeBeaten”
MARIAM ALBISHAH
Booked “Mo” on Netflix after Coaching with Eden!
"Eden has really changed my perspective of the industry especially when taping/virtual auditions became the new norm. I struggled with the technicals and staying present when taping but I’ve learned in class how to really define myself in my choices and the kind of work I want to represent, plus great advice and tips. I have so much respect and love for Eden and everyone else in class. Easily some of the coolest people you'll meet."
JULIE LAKE
Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” SAG Award Winner
“Eden makes me feel super confident going into any audition. She’s very nurturing and lovely to work with, and she always brings the best work out of me. She’s an amazing teacher and a wonderful person.”
DONALD PAUL
“Queen of the South”, “Emancipation”, “FBI”, “Law & Order”
“Eden's attention to detail and the way she serves as that extra set of eyes have truly elevated my auditions and helped me secure more bookings. I can't thank her enough for how much her insight has improved my performances.
Not only do I value our one-on-one sessions, but her class has been an incredible resource for keeping me sharp—it's like an acting gym that pushes me to constantly grow and improve.”

"What's so special to me about Eden's class is how adeptly she is able to individualize her instruction. She can give the same scene to 5 people and find the nuances of the beats so differently with each person, based on who the actor is and what they bring to the work. She's not "figuring out the scene" in a cookie-cutter style where "everyone needs to do it this way." She works with you as an individual, bringing out your own unique gifts, giving you confidence in your UNIQUENESS, which is so important in this industry. It's not getting a scene "right," it is about living in your truth fully within the scene. And you book when your truth aligns with those truths of the creatives. You learn to trust your own gut instincts and pull those forward with finesse and an eye for what the sides and the character and the camera need from you. It's singular and she's incredible. I would recommend Eden's class to anyone needing to hone their on-camera craft, gain confidence in what their strong suits are and what they uniquely bring to the table, and to seasoned actors who just need a refresher with a whip smart partner who emphasizes all your best qualities. From newly burgeoning actors to skilled professionals, she'll get you believing in yourself, your abilities, and your own unique way of approaching your work. She's also just a magnetic, cool, kind, and generous spirit on top of it all. I can't recommend her class or her coaching more highly."
“When my manager suggested I take this "self tape workshop" I was hesitant and unsure- because that's how I've always felt about "technique" classes. Acting, in my perspective, isn't a technique but more of a philosophy, so I tend to stay away from teaching environments that focus on product. I.E. "Stand this way and look this way and make sure you sound this way...Eden's class is not a formula for "the right" way to do self tapes, but a safe space to practice real auditioning in the post-pandemic world. Eden helps us with the good habits of eyelines and blocking out our action and even helps us understand tone. She does it through the lens of helping the ACTOR find specificity, stillness, and create a connection to real people through the camera.”

KATIE SUCHYTA
Booked a new Ryan Murphy show!
“I went from never acting on camera to booking my first co-star on a network show and I could not have done it without Eden’s coaching. When I saw the audition side and what it required - reading five different co-star roles as one - I knew exactly how to tape. Better yet, the tape I sent in was my first take. Because that’s what Eden’s coaching prepares you to do; it ingrains the technicals in your body and gives you a storytelling roadmap so that your best self is revealed. Eden’s process works - the proof is in the booking.”
KYLE MATTHEW HAMILTON
Booked Broadway’s “Spongebob” after coaching with Eden!
“Eden is the best of the best when it comes to audition coaching - hands down! She helped me book my first Broadway job and I'll be forever grateful! A+ across the board!”
ELISE HUDSON
“She's Gotta Have It”, “Law & Order: SVU”, “BlacKkKlansman”, “Brave The Dark”, “Some Freaks”
"Class and coaching with Eden helps me to really ask and answer the question, “what is MY version of this character?” She individualizes her instruction based on the actor she’s working with. She helps us get to the specificity in our individual choices, rather than giving us all a predetermined choice. Her method of scene study carves a path, and then we can play along that path in a way that is so freeing and enjoyable. She brings the preparedness to the fun, and vice versa. How nice to feel both of those elements in the work again.”
“Eden is a dream come true, and here is why. First and foremost, Eden meets every actor where they are at. Whether that's a series regular or you are trying to get your first co-star, she's ready to put in the work to help you book that job. Second, Eden is the MOST knowledgeable about the genres of Television, which is so important!! She understands that an audition is going to look different if you're going in for a one hour comedy or an indie horror film. This is something that I learned through her. Lastly, Eden is the biggest and best cheerleader of all. She wants to see her students succeed. I have had an amazing year so far and I really credit that to her. I tell all of my actor friends "YOU HAVE TO COACH WITH EDEN. SHE IS THE BEST." Because she really, really is. Coach with Eden!!! You will not regret it. In fact, you will flourish.”

LAUREN BIAZZO
Booked a RECURRING GUEST STAR on “Law & Order: SVU” after Coaching with Eden!
“I have been working with Eden for about two years now in both private sessions and classroom settings. She was able to take my on-camera technique to a whole new level without losing my own specific qualities that I bring to my acting. She has a great way of explaining things to her students that just makes everything click. With all of her help, I have been able to nail multiple auditions and callbacks, sign with a legit agent and book my first recurring role on Law & Order: SVU! I owe so much of this success to her!”
LOGAN HULICK
Booked “The Morning Show” and “Bel-Air” after Coaching with Eden!
“Every actor is looking to improve their audition process. The best person you can go to for this is Eden Malyn. I have booked three television spots on major streaming services since coaching with Eden. This has all happened within the span of two years. What Eden does best is she teaches you an efficient, consistent practice that you can lean on to prep for every audition. When I get an audition notification, I take out my notes from Eden’s class and I walk through every step. From the text analysis to the time I’m ready to tape, I go through this process. And the last time I booked something it was an in-person audition, so her process works for that as well. I can’t recommend her enough. You should take class with her right away before she blows up too much and her rates become unattainable.”
EMILY ROSLYN VILLAREAL
Booked “Euphoria” and “Bromates” as a regular client of Eden’s!
“I love coaching with Eden because she doesn’t just focus on the technique. She brings her creativity into everything and that helps me be more confident doing the same.”
CHRISTOPHER TRINDADE
Booked “God Friended Me” after Coaching with Eden!
“After four years of consistently unsuccessful TV auditions, I finally decided to take my first on-camera class with Eden. She took many ideas and practices I was familiar with and helped me apply them more effectively to my technique. Lo and Behold, I booked my first co-star role and first feature film shortly after taking her class. I definitely wish I’d done this sooner.”
“Eden is a rockstar! She is warm, encouraging, and has a savvy that comes from having worked successfully in the business for a long time. She has an amazing ability to visualize scenes for camera. She is a particularly wonderful coach for those transitioning from stage to film, however, she's capable of bringing out the best in anyone no matter what their background or experience. I cannot speak highly enough of this fantastic and vibrant young woman!.”
LAUREN ANN BRICKMAN
Booked “Gloria Bell” opposite Julianne Moore after Coaching with Eden!
“Working with Eden helps me take my auditions much further than I could ever do by myself. I love her specificity, insight, intelligence and sense of humor. I always walk away more confident after working with her, and excited to get in the audition room and share what we found. I cannot recommend her enough!.”
— Christopher M. Smith
“Eden is thoughtful, knowledgeable and gifted! Before meeting her I've only had one acting teacher, now I'm grateful to say that I've found my next teacher and coach. My advice to anyone trying to further develop their acting skills or just take their career to the next level, be wise and "Book Eden Now".
— Felix Dones
“Eden is a passionate, intuitive and witty actress who clearly loves sharing her considerable knowledge and experience. She works hard to help you hone your choices for auditions and bring out the characters within you!.”
— Jessamine Kelley
After one session with Eden, you will realize that you found a gem! Her vibe is very welcoming and she really enjoys empowering YOU as an actor. Eden has taught me an acting technique that really resonates with me and I look forward to developing into a better actor due to her brilliant coaching.
