REVIEWS
"I honestly felt like I learned more about the business of acting than anything I ever known. And I thought I knew a lot being a recent graduate of the American Academy Of Dramatic Arts. Wendy you were very patient and kind to me. You took the time out to see where I was coming from and leveled with me so I could fully understand what I was getting myself into. Thank you so much for speaking very clearly about how to build relationships with actors, directors and casting directors. Wendy is an amazing person. Can't wait to see what the future holds."
Luc Jean.
"It was an amazing experience having the chance to work with Wendy. She genuinely wants to help actors chase their dreams, and means it when she says “I love you actors”... You feel the love! If you are an aspiring actor, or even an established one, having someone like Wendy in your corner can give you so much belief to achieve your goals. I believe that if you’re lucky enough to be able to work with Wendy do it now! Wendy is one of the best resources for acting you can ever have."
Jack Davies
“Actors who are serious about a career in the arts know they need to make investments to get started. When I see that someone has worked with Wendy closely, I know they’re in the business and ready to get started. These are the actors who are eager and ready to succeed, and with whom I’m eager to work!”

If I could start over as an actor, I would take a weekend business class about the industry. Or just business in general. Acting is a a need; the ability to be able to do one’s job. But what is essential for green newbies… understanding the other cut throat side of the industry

Hi Wendy! I have a question, so I live in Germany and I have also been working on the business here and I have been taking acting classes. But there is one thing that’s a little weird here, which is that you need a demo reel (no acting clips) right when you start out in order to be able to submit yourself on other projects and if you haven’t booked anything you can shoot 2 clips for a demo reel with a professional crew for 2000€. I really don’t know what to do in this case. Do you or other German actors have any advice for that? Thank you
