Simply put, Stefanie is an awesome coach. She is a working actress herself and has the experience of thousands of auditions, which is all valuable information. Plus, she is versatile! Comedy, drama, TV, film, you name it, she can coach it. I've never felt more confident on auditions then I worked on them with Stefanie. She's helpful, supportive, and aids you in making interesting and honest choices.Actor (SCANDAL)
