Australian actress Elyssa Saville wins the prize
Wow! To be 9 years old and be as talented as she is, Australian actress Elyssa Saville is making herself a serious contender for stardom. This triple threat performer (she sings and dances, as well) stunned me with her ability to learn the American accent and then apply it with ease.
I was fortunate enough to be recruited by Stacey Testro International Management here in Los Angeles to be Elyssa’s accent coach. We worked via Skype and within 2 hours the results of our time together produced very strong American sounds. It’s still a work in progress but in a very short time, she will nail this accent and be flawless.
Represented by Joan Gibson Management, one of the top talent agencies in Australia, Elyssa is off to a great start. She co-starred in an episode of the Discovery Channel’s series, DEADLY WOMEN, SPIRITED and KID DETECTIVE for Southern Star Productions, as well as TV commercials.
Devoted to being the best she can be, alongside her accent training, Elyssa studies acting with Mary K. Vasey, singing with Tim Collins and dance (jazz, hip hop, tap, ballet) at the prestigious Elevate Performing Arts. Did I mention that Elyssa also plays piano, guitar and percussion? And did I mention that she’s only 9? I know I did but it warrants another mention.
This wunderkind plays golf, does horse jumping and plays rugby, as well as the usual suspects like swimming, gymnastics and cycling.
Elyssa Saville is one of those rare talents where you wonder how can she be so good. She’s bright, professional and charming, all reasons to want to work with her.
