Austen teaches song study and audition prep, and offers one-on-one college and career coaching online. She is also available for large-scale workshops.

“Ms. Bohmer's approach to her craft is deeply intentional and introspective. Through voice, acting, and movement, she is building a unique method that is as meditative as it is technical. This approach reflects her broader philosophy of staying true to oneself, especially in an industry that often demands conformity. Recognizing the pressures of social media and external expectations, Ms. Bohmer advised students to ‘Get off your phone. The world in front of you is rich and juicy.’ She encouraged the young artists to train their attention, to sit quietly, and to be open to the subtle inspirations that surround them.”

“Austen's workshop at PYT was something special. She brought thoughtfulness, care, and insight to every moment: real integrity and a deep love for the work she does and the industry as a whole. You could feel it in how she connected with the kids, how she held the room, and how she made the experience feel both joyful and meaningful. Parents and students left inspired, and many shared how much her presence impacted them. It was a standout opportunity, and a great example of what’s possible in a tuition-free, supportive space like ours. Thank you, Austen!”

Testimonials

“Austen is filled with so much knowledge and knows exactly how to transfer that knowledge and tailor to your needs as both a learner and a performer. I’m doing things I never thought I would before because of the immense amount of confidence I’ve gained while working with Austen!”

“Austen didn’t just teach a workshop — she got into the very souls of the girls. She saw them, challenged them, and inspired them to rise. She beautifully illustrated what courage looks like: vulnerability, strength, and authenticity. Her time with Courage Theatre left a lasting imprint, and our Six cast is better because of her.”
