When it comes to acting, Melissa believes there is always something new to learn about one's self because there are many levels to each of us and circumstances are always changing. For Melissa this is the best part of acting, finding out what circumstances in life would put her in the same situation as the character she's playing without judgement. She brings this philosophy, her extensive experience and knowledge into every class and coaching session. She believes in building confidence in her students, teaching strong communication skills and instilling the tools needed for a sustainable acting career in a fun non-judgmental learning environment. Melissa brings out the best in each of her clients, her focus to detail, her passion for what she does, her care and concern and a strong understanding of the industry and its trends are invaluable.
