Testimonials
Here's what some people have said about me:
As Teacher:
"Lori is an excellent acting coach you can depend on. In addition to being diligent when working with your child, she's intuitive, very professional and can provide insights into the acting business. Lori worked with Matthew in preparation for his auditions for Toronto's production of the Sound of Music. He got the role of Kurt. Lori is a great resource and "go to person" to have in your corner." Michelle Tissi
"You are a joyful delight. I much enjoyed your class, your perspective, your knowledge...your sharing...you have a way of saying it like it is...with honesty and passion!" Dawna Marie Wright
“Lori has taught me so much. I never knew there were so many different ways to say a single, simple, word. Without her, I probably wouldn’t have gotten into Unionville High School for the arts. I’m learning how to look at a script, take it apart, create a back story, all so I can truly be the character. I have learned so much from Lori...” Chloe
