TESTIMONIALS
I love being able to zoom from LA with Elena for my tapes. She makes me feel so empowered and comfortable as an actor and also gives me incredible adjustments that always add something to the performance. She also has so much knowledge about casting, having been on both sides of the camera. I know I’m submitting good work when she helps me with my tapes!
DEB F.
Professional Actor, Los Angeles
"This has been an absolute game-changer for our family! My kids trust her completely, which gives them the confidence to explore new characters and grow as young actors in a safe, supportive environment. What used to be a stressful audition process is now fun and exciting for all of us, and since working with her, my kids have booked multiple jobs. I love watching their passion for acting flourish under the guidance of a coach who is just as passionate about their success."
JAMIE E.
Parent of Young Actors
"One of Elena’s greatest gifts is her ability to teach. Not only in a teacher/student context, but by pure virtue of working alongside her as a colleague, you will learn something. What’s even more powerful is that she is ever a student of her craft. She has touched hundreds of lives of not just community members who have had the blessing to be in one of her shows, she has empowered hundreds of young people who have worked with her throughout the years, many of them still holding her in high regards as an integral influence."

"Elena's teaching methods are unique and have allowed me to unlock new skills I didn't know I had. I have found such a passion and love of acting through working with Elena."
CHLOE V.
Actress and College Student
"Elena's directing skill set enables her to cut through seemingly impossible action lines and distill them into the essence the action requires. Her feedback is smart, constructive, and actionable. When our session is over, I have a great self-tape and have given my best shot at booking the project. Her coaching style is so patient and positive, I don’t feel nervous about the work we are about to do together because I know she has my back. I feel like we are a team."
JOAN D.
Actress
"I've never liked the business part of acting. Elena cut through all my self-destructive noise and taught me the simplicity of the work. She creates space and peace wherever she goes. She is truly exceptional, inspiring, nurturing, and the perfect business partner for a job in the arts."
SARAH-MARIE C.
Actress and Owner of Actor's Lab, ATX
"I recently sought mentorship from Elena. I am an up-and-coming acting coach and musical theatre educator. I gained a significant amount of knowledge to aid in my own lesson plans and future advancement as a teacher and actor. She is a great consultant, and I am very excited to continue to learn from her amazing and hard-earned experience."
