HOPEFUL GOOSE CREATIVe

COACHING

Most multi-hyphenate creatives are stuck and frustrated by their crippling imposter syndrome, feeling like a jack of all trades, master of none. Which means they continue to feel more helpless and lost as they self sabotage themselves with self doubt and fear. That’s why I help passionate creatives step into their multi-hyphenate power with courage, focus and joy, as they breakthrough roadblocks, create magnetic momentum, and watch their dreams take flight.

Sessions are in person or online and I create a warm, encouraging and fun environment so you feel safe and free to play and fail forward as your challenge yourself and learn new skills.

I am an award-winning filmmaker, actor and singer who has been coaching and teaching for many years now. I have over seven years of experience working in the industry as a professional actor. I have a Bachelor Arts (Music Theatre) with Distinction, from Federation University, and a Graduate Diploma in Psychology at UNSW.

Hopeful Goose Creative Coaching is for all people no matter who you are or how you identify. You are free to express yourself fully without fear of being made to feel unwelcome or unsafe. I value each individual’s unique experiences and points of view. Everyone is welcome here.

Testimonials

TVC FORMULA:

“For me, TVC auditions could often be met with a groan and lack of enthusiasm given their frequency, complexities and lottery-like feeling. Working with the Hopeful Goose herself reframes the idea of TVCs as fun, exploratory and unique opportunities just brimming with creative potential that only you can bring to your tape. Madeleine highlights considerations sometimes forgotten or left behind in the fast-paced process of auditioning and emphasises the teamwork approach in bringing a client's vision to life- in the ways only you know how. Madeleine's approach is joyful and highly practical to ensure you walk away feeling empowered and excited (dare I say!) for the next TVC audition. Jump on board if you also want to delight in the work again!” – Raechyl French (WAAPA & NIDA)

MINDSET COACHING:

“Madeleine has encouraged me to push myself, to trust my voice and make me believe I am a baddie in every sense of the word! She has empowered me to do my best work in auditions and gain my confidence back. My mindset has shifted a lot since working with Madeleine, making it less result driven and more about feeling proud of the work I do in the room. Madeleine is one of the kindest, most encouraging souls to work with and has brought out the best in me.” – Tori Bullard

COME ALIVE IN 2025 WORKSHOP:

“Madeleine’s workshop is valuable for any creative. She helps you put the person before the work. Mads helped mute all the unhelpful noise and left me with the mental clarity needed to connect back with my creative self. The workshop reignited my spark and passion for making art and helped me simplify a path forward to reach my goals. All whilst provided a safe space that felt like a warm hug for my younger artistic self 😊” – Jessie Lancaster (WAAPA)

SINGING LESSONS:

“I wanted to find a teacher who would help push me in the areas I needed work on and Mads was the right teacher for that. She got me out of my head and into my body, especially when it came to auditions. Mads is super supportive and wants you to do your best! She also gave me strategies to help deal with my audition anxiety which has been a game changer for me! Mads is a super super, kind and caring teacher! She is the best!!!” – Meg Brown

“Madeleine got me out of my comfort zone and gave me confidence in myself and my singing abilities. Madeleine is a pleasure to work with and creates a fun and caring environment at her studio. Do yourself a favour and book a lesson today.” - James Hine

“Madeleine has been a very good influence on my daughter. My daughter is quite shy, and Madeleine has helped her overcome her shyness and become more confident. I highly recommend Madeleine as she makes singing fun. My daughter has enjoyed every moment of every lesson with Madeleine.” – Christoula Vassilopoulos, Rianna’s mum
