MTCA

“I don’t even know where to begin to thank MTCA and all the coaches that helped us through this journey! We were so naive to the level of difficulty to get accepted into these universities’ MT & Acting programs and how truly competitive they really are. My daughter invested many hours with her coaches throughout this process. Learning and growing, fine tuning her talents, learning what she excels at, and embracing it all!

Amy Breslow helped us develop our list and talked us through ways to keep organized in the very beginning. Initially, our heads were spinning in a million directions- she was able to keep us on path and focused. Samantha Massell, Annabelle’s song coach, was so amazing in how she pushed Annabelle to develop her storytelling through song, directing her though these fine nuances which made all the difference in how the story was told. Candi Boyd, Dance Coach, worked closely with Annabelle on her dance prescreen and guided her technique to help her through the audition dance calls. Amy Linden, Vocal Tech Coach, was simply wonderful! Annabelle got to explore different techniques and grew with Amy dramatically over the time she worked with her. Annabelle’s coaching with her monologue coach Carman Lacivita brought out a love for acting she didn’t realize she had, and her Shakespeare monologue became her favorite piece of audition material.

Finally Leo Ash Evens, what can I say other than he is an incredible human! There were countless times Leo was there exactly when you needed to hear the words, “You got this,” “I know it’s hard,” “We’re almost at the finish line,” etc. These didn’t come in one-on-one coaching sessions that you paid for— no, they came on Facebook or Instagram or in an email as a little pep chat to get you through the day. Leo also did many Facebook Lives which were incredibly helpful. The things my daughter has learned from Leo and MTCA will continue with her all throughout her career.

A word of advice when you hear the words “Trust the process”: believe it.”
