TESTIMONIALS

"I hired Kelsey as a dialect coach for a community theatre production of "The Secret Garden." Her rates were incredibly fair and she came to rehearsals overly prepared to teach! Most importantly, however, Kelsey made dialects accessible to each of my 40 actors, who ranged in age from 10 to 60. She empowered them to experiment, ask questions, and ultimately succeed in believably delivering complicated dialects. Kelsey is communicative, positive, and professional! I cannot recommend her highly enough!"

"Kelsey Fisher-Waits pulls no punches. Line up and be prepared to dig deeply, honestly, and physically into that character whether in the classroom, for an audition or on the stage. You will make discoveries, stretch yourself and tap into your bravest selves under her guidance as an acting teaching/acting coach/dialect coach. And all while having the time of your life."

"What a privilege it is to work with Kelsey. She is a truly gifted actor and teacher. She has a unique way of nurturing an actor’s trust in themselves that allows them to explore character and text fearlessly. She has a command of and vast resources in all styles of acting, voice, text, and movement --- a rare combination in an acting teacher. And she’s an absolute delight as a human being."

"Kelsey truly understands how to speak to an actor's soul. Her methods are fun, exciting, and engaging. I trust Kelsey 100% with any and all audition material. She makes me feel so confident and comfortable in all of my choices. I highly recommend Kelsey for all of your acting and dialect needs!"

Having worked with Kelsey both in class and in productions, I can say that she is easily one of the best. She presents material in ways that she knows you'll understand, and always makes sure that you are learning in a way that benefits you. As a director, she is very collaborative and makes sure that the actor's strengths are present. She is always willing to give feedback and is ready to help with anything you may need. If given the chance, I highly recommend working with her."

"Kelsey is one of the greatest educators I have had the opportunity to work with. From her creative push to her undoubted support and encouragement, Kelsey pushed me to believe in myself more than I ever thought possible. Her positive, constructive feedback opened my eyes to things that I didn't know were achievable for me. She opened up an incredible mentorship and avenue for growth for me. I recommend absolutely any opportunity to work with Kelsey, as she will help you see acting in an entirely new light."

"As a director, Kelsey's point of view is singular and thoroughly exciting. She has bold visions and is able to express those views in a very accessible way that gets the whole team on the same wavelength. She is particularly skillful in creating a sense of ensemble with the cast and crew, in innovative and creative ways. Kelsey is an expert in crafting experiences that stay with you, on either side of the stage. I cannot recommend her enough."
