IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) Training Kit
Flash cards, audio recordings, and workbook for mastering the International Phonetic Alphabet. This is the foundation of all dialect work. Once you can READ sound, you can reproduce any accent on earth. I use this system for every role. No exceptions.
Germ Theory Demo -- Swan-Neck Flask Experiment
Replicate my famous experiment. Two flasks of broth: one open, one with a swan-curved neck. The straight one spoils. The swan-neck stays clear for years. I still have flasks from the 1860s that are sterile. This experiment ended the debate on spontaneous generation forever.
Tango Dance Lesson -- The Scent of a Woman Masterclass
I learned the Argentine tango for Scent of a Woman and performed it blind. Tango is a conversation between two bodies -- lead, follow, improvise. I teach basic tango: the walk, the ocho, the cross. You'll dance in twenty minutes. Tip: Tango is not about steps. It's about the embrace.
Monologue Coaching -- One Voice, Full Room
Audition monologue, film monologue, stage monologue -- each needs different calibration. I'll coach your piece line by line. We work on breath, beats, subtext, and the moment you stop performing and start LIVING the text. Tip: The best monologue sounds like a conversation with someone who isn't there.
Fermentation Science Workshop -- Grapes to Wine to Vinegar
Hands-on. We will ferment grape juice, observe yeast under the microscope, test for alcohol and acetic acid. This is how I started -- wine merchants of Lille asked why their fermentations kept failing. The answer was contaminating microorganisms. Clean your equipment. Always.
Pasteurization Kit (Home Dairy/Brewing)
Everything to pasteurize milk, juice, or homebrew: precision thermometer, stainless steel pot, timer, instructions. Heat to 72 degrees Celsius for 15 seconds, then cool rapidly. Named after me, and I am proud of that. This process saves millions of lives every year.
Process Optimization Consulting -- Eliminate Waste
One-on-one. Bring me your workflow -- manufacturing, service, office, anything. I will find the waste. Every process has value-adding steps and non-value-adding steps. Eliminate the latter. At Highland Park, chassis assembly went from 12 hours 28 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes.
Women in STEM Mentoring -- Credit and Recognition
One-on-one mentoring. My work was used without my knowledge. My contribution was minimized for decades. I will teach you how to protect your intellectual contribution: documentation, publication timing, co-authorship agreements, and when to speak up. The work is everything, but credit matters too.
Acoustics & Sound Science Workshop
Two-hour hands-on session. We'll build a simple acoustic device, learn about frequency, amplitude, resonance, and why your voice sounds different on a recording. Tip: Sound is just vibration. If you understand vibration, you understand everything from music to earthquakes to how dolphins navigate.
Patent Writing Crash Course -- Protect Your Ideas
Small group (max 4). I'll teach you how to write a patent application: claims, specifications, drawings. The patent is the inventor's sword and shield. Without it, your idea belongs to whoever copies it first. I learned this the hard way with the movie camera.
Sign Language & Communication Tutoring
One-on-one tutoring in communication methods for the deaf and hard of hearing. My father's Visible Speech system, basic sign language, lip reading techniques. My mother couldn't hear me speak, but she could feel the vibrations of my voice through her hand on my throat. Communication finds a way.
Character Wardrobe Kit (Taxi Driver Era)
Army surplus jacket, aviator sunglasses, boots, and the mohawk wig. Travis Bickle's wardrobe tells his whole story before he opens his mouth -- military discipline decaying into isolation. Tip: A character's clothes are their armor. Choose every piece deliberately.
