    "Melissa possesses a unique insight. She revealed to me the path of a truly fascinating journey using my character's needs and wants. Her direction is focused, clear and inspirational"

    - Jason G.


    "Melissa... she comes in with a fresh perspective and objective third eye, allowing you to see the piece in a completely different way. As a skilled director, she breaks the monologue down piece by piece and explores the enormous vocal and physical possibilities contained within the words. After only a short amount of time you will be leaving the session with a monologue that is richer, more dynamic and more exciting to perform."

    - Sonja S.
