Acting with Grace is a school and philosophy of living and creating, offering tailor- made coaching, workshops and classes in speaking, acting, singing and creative development.
Hi! My name is Julianna Grace Pirillo. I'm a voice- centered, multi- faceted, interdisciplinary performance based artist and facilitator: actress, singer, songwriter and writer. I created Acting with Grace to share the tools, lessons, and discoveries I've made in finding my voice over the past 25years, to help you find yours.
Drawing from vocal yoga, somatic integration, simplicity acting, singing techniques, meditative practices and shadow work. Come play!
Who is Acting with Grace for?

Whether you are:
A singer who wants to find more body, space, lightness, ease, alignment, vocal character, versatility and expression,

A creative in transition, navigating mindset shifts, career growth or needing support in expanding and integrating your evolving voice,

Why does Finding Your Voice matter?
​
Our voices are more than sound- they' re an extension of who we are. They reflect our relationship with ourselves, our sense of identity, our inner stability and how we connect with the world around us.
​
Inside all of us lives a quiet tension: the longing to belong and the longing to be true to ourselves.
When we begin to accept all of who we are- the messy, the brilliant, the unknown- we also begin to accept others more freely. As we find more ease in expressing ourselves without fear of judgment or rejection, we not only find more of who we are, we also find it easier to connect with others in ways that are liberating and unifying.
​
​
​Finding your voice is about more than just speaking or singing. It's about knowing our sovereignty, self ownership and personal power.
​​
When we take accountability for our lives, we begin to make choices that align with our voices- not based on external approval or conditioning, but internal truth. And in that space of alignment, we begin to belong- not by fitting in, but by returning to our wholeness.
​
Rather than being a result of our circumstances, our circumstances begin to reflect us. We attract more of what feels good, more of what we value- because we're bringing more of ourselves to everything we do.
​
​My Approach is Rooted in Discovery, Not Judgment.
Finding your voice is about cultivating curiosity, self compassion, self awareness, and learning to ask the right questions- so you can shift from a victim mindset to becoming the leader of your life.
​
My role is to create a safe, grounded space for you to develop greater autonomy, clarity and confidence- in your voice, in your creative practice and in how you show up in the world.

"I don’t think I have ever met anyone quite like Julianna- she has a razor sharp mind, can think at the speed of light, is extremely emotionally intuitive and really brings her vulnerability to everything that she does. She is a natural leader with grit."

"I began classes with Julianna as a way to develop my audition pieces for drama school. Julianna’ s instinctual giving nature both as a person and an actor, only added to what we were able to produce together; I found the work holding more truth and nuance, layered with a deeper sense of play.
Having now been through three years of drama school, I often find myself hurrying back to exercises not from my training days, but of those with Julianna.
Remembering a safe space created to explore, where mistakes don’t exist and with practices I used to help me land my first role in the West End. I am forever grateful!"
