She is amazing! I feel comfortable with her, and she is excellent at giving feedback. She always has something positive to say about the performance and reassures me that what I need to work on is normal and that I can improve. I'm so happy that I'm working with her!

Cecilia was right on time for our session! As she guided me through my audition scene, she gave me valuable tips on what industry professionals are looking and helped me to find body language for my character. She also responded to my questions and needs as we went through the scene, adding the details to make it unique. I will definitely hire Cecilia again!
