"I have been acting for years, but always had a passion for singing. During my 2nd year of grad school I began private lessons with Danielle. People saw a new confidence and quality in my voice. She was and continues to be such a blessing in my life. Shortly after working together, I was singing in the off broadway show of Medea starring Annette Bening! Danielle has truly touched my life as a voice coach and push of inspiration!"
