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.
British actress, singer, dancer, writer, voiceover performer…did I get all that she does…Sarah Coomes recently nailed the American accent. Sarah is stunning, hilarious and daring. I just love that about any performer.
This powerhouse woman takes my breath away. Rafika Chawishe landed the highly coveted role of Antigone and Cassandra in Paths of PASSION, to premiere at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus on the 28th of August 2010, followed by performances at Royal Albert Hall and culminating with a star studded finale run at the Hollywood Bowl in 2011. And for this production, Rafika will be using her newly acquired American accent.
I adore this girl. Isabella Mancini represents all that I cherish in a devoted actor and person. She works hard, challenges herself and is result oriented.
Born in Romania, Isabella came to me to help her sound American so she could book American roles and not be limited by her beautiful Romanian accent. We worked very hard and her success makes us both exceedingly happy.

Actress/Singer and student, Keke Palmer, wins the 2010 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Performance In A Youth/Children’s Program for her hit television show, True Jackson V.P., on the Nickelodeon Network.
Keke is one of those brilliant young actors who hones her craft and continues to improve and grow. Currently, we are working on a West African accent for an upcoming film project. I advocate to always be prepared and Keke is doing just that. When her first day of shooting will start, she will be 100% on her game and ready with a flawless accent. Her respect for the people of Uganda will be appreciated by her dedication to learning their native sounds. Read more »

Don Cherry was voted as the seventh greatest Canadian on the CBC’s (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) television special, THE GREATEST CANADIANS.
Many of you watched the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and witnessed the colorful and brash Canadian hockey icon, Don Cherry with his cherry red suit, Hockey Canada cufflinks and his Canadian Maple Leaf tie on NBC predicting that Team Canada would win over Team USA. Great drama on the ice ensued as Team Canada won Gold over Team USA 3 – 2. Not quite the 5 – 3 victory Don Cherry promised, however. Read more »

This really is no surprise to me that my student, actor Anthony Debaeck, gets swept up by top reps in the city after having arrived in the United States only a short time ago. When this town discovers talent, they pounce.
Anthony has it all, strong acting skills, an incredible work ethic and charismatic leading man good looks, all of which make him a dynamic performer to watch. Read more »
