Cody Mayo Studios

Cody Mayo Studios is conveniently located next to one of my favorite taco spots (918 Maples), so it was inevitable for me to notice it when I was walking out after enjoying a birria pizza. Cody's picture on the glass caught my eye. They offer film and TV acting classes for adults, teens, and even kids. What I was interested in were his coaching services for public speaking and communication. One of my goals this year is to improve in my skills and become a better and effective public speaker since I seem to find myself in front of a group pretty often in my personal and professional life. I have also recently become aware of how much I depend on "filler words". My most common ones are "um", "like", and "you know". While not a huge deal in regular conversations, professionally, it makes me sound unsure and I would hate for that to impact my credibility. I reached out via the contact form on the website and was able to schedule an initial 1:1 coaching session with the help of Chelsea, the Studio Admin & Assistant. I confess, I was initially uncertain about the whole thing going in, not knowing what to expect. I am happy to report that Cody is worth every penny! He has an impressive and extensive experience in film, television, theatre, and coaching. Tulsa is so lucky to have him. I take copious notes each session to make sure I won't forget his advice and tips. He has a way of making everything so practical. Each session, I'm progressing on my goal. He also shared they'll be modifying the space to allow after-hours events. Can't wait to check that out!
