“WORKING WITH ABBY IS A GAME CHANGER. EVEN AFTER 40 YEARS AS A WORKING ACTOR, HER INSIGHT IS PRACTICAL AND ON POINT. HER SKILL AS AN ACTOR EMPOWERS HER TO COACH AS A COLLABORATOR.

“ABBY IS MY SECRET WEAPON. I’VE BEEN BOOKING consistently SINCE I STARTED COACHING WITH HER. ABBY QUICKLY ASSESSes and coaches what needs work. HER breadth of KNOWLEDGE IS INVALUABLE AND RELIABLE. HER FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE WITH THE DIRECTORS, WRITERS AND PRODUCERS FOR WHOM I AUDITION, HAS TRANSFORMED formerly AWKWARD INTERACTIONS INTO RICH OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMMUNICATION AND PLAY. PLUS, SHE ALWAYS GIVES ME WAYS TO CONTINUE MY PREPARATION AT HOME.” - ELLIS GREER.
