Meet Barbara Kite
Your Speaking & Acting Coach
I am passionate about, and totally committed to, coaching speakers and actors in mastering the art of communication through acting skills. With nearly 30 years experience, I create a safe and challenging space in which all can develop their skill. Whether you are connecting with an audience through a play or a presentation, I will help you make that connection genuine and memorable.
I have coached producers at OPB, Oregon Zoo Management, Adidas, City of Portland Sustainability Department, Nike, Lexus and many more helping them all become better speakers.
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts NYC with the Jehlingher award, ran a theater company in NYC and appeared in many commercials, made for TV movies, TV shows, soaps, and voice overs.

What you will get is a way to access the place within you that resonates deeply with your mission and can connect with your audience.
