Welcome to Strategic Potential Coaching! I'm Adrienne Boris. This is a new kind of coaching enterprise for creatives of all stripes. I offer not only audition coaching to performers but also career/professional coaching to any creative hoping to level up, change careers, or find a new correlating career to pay the bills.
After almost two decades in the industry, I am known for my compassionate, straightforward, and practical approach to self-actualization and career growth. I bring extensive experience in stage directing, acting teaching, artist management, producing, marketing, fundraising, and leadership. Most importantly, I bring respect for the artists who must constantly pivot and redefine what "success" means to them in this challenging landscape. I look forward to helping you grow the confidence and skills you need to own any room you enter.

YOUR COACH
Adrienne is currently a Talent Agent at UIA Talent in New York City and holds an MFA in Stage Directing from Boston University, where she has also served as a Lecturer in Acting & Performance. During her formative years, instead of staying home with a babysitter, she would go with her parents to their musical theater rehearsals which ignited not only a desire to perform but lifelong fascination with acting and performance. Before long, she was onstage herself and gradually widened her lens to directing, then producing and administration, then talent management. She has directed or assistant directed off-Broadway, at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Boston Baroque, Opera North, The Huntington Theatre, Pacific Symphony, Harvard University, and others, and has produced a lot of her own work. Additionally, she has studied negotiation, marketing, and financial accounting at Harvard Extension School and became a Certified Life Coach through the Certified Life Coach Institute in 2024.
​
These days you can find her onstage constantly rediscovering her sense of play by doing improv (both musical and non) at The Magnet Theatre and doing standup comedy at various haunts throughout NYC.

Adrienne has the perfect blend of empathy, insight, and practical strategies that are tailored to each individual's needs. She has the exceptional ability to challenge my beliefs and present perspectives I hadn't considered before. She combines honesty with accountability all while offering unwavering support. Her reliability and responsiveness create a dependable presence that you can count on at any time.
Emily Hughes,
mezzo-soprano
Working with Adrienne on my audition repertoire was an extremely worthwhile investment. Not only is she knowledgeable about the repertoire and a talented director/acting coach, but she also has insight into the particulars of the audition process, having sat in on hundreds of auditions. She was able to work collaboratively with me on my arias to expand my ideas and make my choices clearer, while also helping me get rid of any physicality that wasn’t serving me. Her career advice and input has proven to be spot-on. I highly recommend her for consulting and acting coaching.
Colin Michael Brush, Director, Sarah & Ernest Butler Houston Grand Opera Studio
Adrienne has a strong grasp of what makes singers successful—whether in auditions,
rehearsals, or on stage. She understands the expectations of casting professionals, artistic leadership, and companies, and
she has a current, grounded sense of what it takes to be competitive in this field.
