QUOTES FROM FORMER STUDENTS:
Kristin was the first and only person that encouraged me to take chances and be open to all opportunities (i.e all things LA!). She met me where I was and helped hone into not only my “type” but who I was as a human being and what I bring into a room. All the mock auditions made auditioning after school so much easier! (AND she was the only one who had any idea about self tapes before they became what they is today).
– Jordan Quisno. Jagged Little Pill Tour, Calvin Berger, Ghostforce
“Kristin’s guidance and teaching was invaluable as I entered the entertainment industry. Not only was she a wealth of knowledge, but she taught me critical thinking strategies that I still use to this day.”
– Jeremy Sickles, NYC Talent Agent
I will staunchly say that Kristin is the teacher that most prepared me for the actual business side of “the business.” In terms of advice on networking, working on a 5-year plan and marketability!! She also had great advice on whether or not to join the Union, what to focus on when we first graduate, and very useful things like that!
-Lina Marie- Kinky Boots, Norwegian Cruise Line for me! Shout! Chenango River Theatre, and Artspower National Touring Theatre
Kristin is the only teacher that taught me how to market myself in this business. How to put my stamp on a song that will make it authentically me and help me stand out. Kristin really helped prepare me for what my first year out of school would look like and I felt a sort of calm going into auditions because we had practiced and discussed so many aspects of the business in class.
