    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!”

    I never stop learning. Ordered this book, plan to start it next month. I'm doing 365 days of reading books on the craft and business. I've committed to a minimum of 1 chapter a day. When we're not working, we could all be doing something to push ourselves forward. I'm in class, auditioning, and i've added this to the regime. Never forgot when live you were talking about Ms. Carol Penny. #365 days of acting. I'm on it.

    WENDY! I love you! IF i lived in Cali, I would die to have you as an agent/TEACHER! One question: i got a job as an extra for a huge film, i would be on set for 12 days with lots of extensive hair and makeup, and the actors are top of the line in this film. Would this be worth it as I want more experience, and this film is too cool to pass on. I know background work does not land an acting job whatsoever, but could it be useful to be connected to such a huge film/director? BEST, COLETTE!
