Lesley and I have worked on many projects over the last 4 years and every time she has brought the best version of herself.

She is determined, patient, kind & constantly works on sharpening her skills. Having her involved with projects brings peace of mind knowing it will get handled in a timely manner with expert precision.

“Lesley worked with my sound design students on how to get good performances out of voice actors. During this class she brought voice acting students to the studio and worked on proper microphone technique. The quality of the voice acting, and sound quality of the recordings the students submitted immediately improved after just one session with Lesley. Her ability to teach the actors and sound designers how to analyze the scripts, and sculpt the performances — while maintaining excellent microphone technique — was invaluable for both actors and sound designers alike.

Her workshops were well-organized, informative, and very well attended. Working with the students individually, or in small groups, she was able to teach a solid foundation for acting, script analysis, point out the individual’s strong points, and teach the attendees how to continue improving their skills after they left the workshops. It is always inspiring to see the students discover what they are capable of, and Lesley does an amazing job of bringing this out of them.”

“Lesley came highly recommended to me by a colleague who’d seen her teaching in action. When we suddenly found ourselves creating an online curriculum for Summer 2020, I knew I needed the most veteran of instructors to tackle this new medium. Lesley delivered time and time again. She provided clear and actionable instructions and homework ahead of class, and the students arrived ready to work and be coached. She then followed up with written feedback for the students to have a tangible receipt of their progress and their individual goals post-class. Lesley is a master educator both in-person and online.”

Two of my graduating MFA actors offered this immediate praise:

“After Lesley’s class I was able to immediately use what I learned for a voiceover audition my agent sent me on the next day! I feel extremely competitive in this market. Thank you Lesley!” – Anna Doyle

“These classes help me believe that I can do what I love… voiceover work.” – Daniel Meeks

“We were fortunate to have Lesley here in person for a week in 2019 where she taught five workshops, and also on zoom this past year. To say she delivered excellence both times is accurate but perhaps a bit of an understatement. Lesley’s classes were organized, process based, and gave each student goals for the future. Along with these solid outcomes the classes were delightful and my students did their best work in this supportive environment.”
