“Maggie is truly a one of a kind coach! In just one short hour, she helps me to dig deep into my material, analyze the music, find incredibly specific moments and beats in the cuts, and find ways to personally connect to my pieces, making my work really stand out. Working with her makes me feel SO much more confident about what I’m bringing into the audition room. No matter what piece we work on, she always gives me new ways to take it to the next level. Her ideas are insightful and exciting, and make “doing the work” so much fun. She is full of knowledge and kindness, and is an absolute joy to train with!”

- VICTORIA

“Maggie is truly unlike any other. She is really so much more than a coach, she is the person to go to when looking for practical advice, a great soundboard for ideas, and is able to take you to the next level. In less than a year of coaching, I truly feel that my singing, as well as my general knowledge of the business, and my interpretations of a song have been taken to the next level. I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be where I am now without her.”

- Ava

“Maggie never fails to put a smile on my face! Whether its storytelling a song or just choosing a material that will showcase my abilities for an audition; Maggie has helped immensely. With her knowledge in college auditions, professional auditions, and regional performing she knows what it takes to succeed and she knows how to get you there! I will forever be grateful to have Maggie as my coach!”

- Matthew

“I always look forward to my coaching sessions with Maggie. Her professionalism and knowledge of current industry trends have always helped me to feel confident in the pieces we work on together, and her enthusiasm and positive attitude is very inspiring. Whether it is to find a new song for my book or to ask for advice on picking an audition outfit, I always turn to Maggie. She is all I could ask for in a teacher!“

- EVELYN

“Maggie is a phenomenal coach, who I look forward to working with every week. She helps me analyze my material in such a specific and intentional way. Whatever song I bring into our lesson is fully transformed by the end it! I am constantly having major breakthroughs about my craft during our lessons. She is positive, supportive, and creates such a safe space to take risks, make choices, and ask questions. She has instilled in me a newfound confidence that I will take with me into the audition room and beyond.”

- Lindsey

“Maggie has been training my 11 year old daughter, Aubrey, for the past year. She has helped Aubrey grow so much as a singer and actor. Every audition she goes on, she is prepared and ready for whatever they ask of her. Maggie has helped build a confidence in Aubrey, I didn’t know existed. Maggie was able to make a connection with Aubrey and bring her real life theatre experiences into their training sessions. Since Aubrey has been training with Maggie, she has been cast as Jane Banks in Mary Poppins and Nala in The Lion King. Aubrey looks forward to her voice lessons each week and I love watching her grow!”

“Jennifer is not afraid to give you a read. She gets to know her people in and out, tailoring the best material to fit you and does not hold back. She cares about her students and gives the best advice, insightful and leaving room for you to flourish. A listener, the little things you think is just something, means everything to her. Every session is never boring, she always makes it fun and never fails to leave you with a smile.”

- Elijah

"Jennifer was so fun to work with! She listened to me and got to know me to help find the perfect set of monologues to expand my work while retaining my own voice. I can't wait to keep working with her as I move forward!" 

- Alyssa

“I highly recommend this amazing resource! Jennifer radiates intelligence and professionalism; I felt more than comfortable opening up to her and putting myself as an artist in her hands. The environment isn't judgmental in the slightest. She does a fantastic job being efficient and stays true to the promise of a personalized monologue selection. I love the material chosen for me and hope to work with Jennifer again in the future. You won't regret it!”

- Sophie

“I recently utilized Jennifer’s monologue finding experience and I truly enjoyed it! From the moment we started the call she was there to learn about me and really got to understand me as a person and as a performer. Because of her dedication with that, she found 8 perfect monologues that I can’t want to use for my upcoming college audition season! So thankful for her and Maggie’s page for recommending her!”

- Emily

“Jennifer helped me zero in on a monologue that I had previously worked on tons of times with many other professors. There was a piece to it that I always thought was missing and Jennifer helped me navigate and find it. In our hour session, that monologue sounded more authentic and was something I feel comfortable bringing to any audition.

I was also lucky enough to do a monologue sourcing with Jennifer and it was more than I could have ever imagined it would be. She got to know me for who I truly am not just my "type.” If you're serious about becoming a better actor, this is worth every penny!”

- Samantha

“Jennifer is so nice and smart and empathetic! I did a monologue search with her. We began with an interview where she gets to know you as a person and then searches and finds monologues. And she knows how to find good ones too- wonderful ones! I asked for six contemporary and two classical and she delivered some excellent, phenomenal pieces that I can use for a variety of auditions! I felt connected to each one in some way and loved them! This is a worthy investment for performers who struggle to find quality, no overdone monologues (like yours truly). Go book right away!”

Theatrically, she’s performed off-Broadway in Nickel Mines at the New York Musical Theatre Festival, regionally in La Cage Aux Folles at the Red House Arts Center, and in numerous productions at Texas State (including Legally Blonde and A Chorus Line, which each have over 1 MILLION views on YouTube!). She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from Texas State University. Proud member of SAG-AFTRA.

Aside from performing, Liliana is passionate about both fitness and baking. She is a barre-workout fanatic and swears that her best days are those when she has the chance to pulse until her muscles shake! Creating and sharing baked goods is Liliana's way of spreading love. Every time a birthday or a holiday rolls around, you can count on her to have a sweet treat ready to bring smiles to people's faces. 

“I first started working with Lilliana when I was preparing for filming my college prescreens. I had very little formal dance training experience when I first started lessons. I knew the basics, but I had only danced in the plays I had been in throughout middle school and high school. Liliana was so welcoming and took the time to get to know me where I was at in my training. I never felt uncomfortable when I was dancing with her! Liliana makes lessons not only very productive but also so much fun! In only a couple months working with Liliana my training and technique has improved tremendously! I was even able to audition and make a dance team that I did not make last year! If you are looking to improve on your technique and dance training you cannot go wrong choosing to work with Liliana!”

- Bailey

“I started working with Liliana earlier this year because I felt so lost when it came to choreographing a dance for my college auditions. I’ve danced a lot in my life and have had a lot of different coaches, but Liliana is easily one of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had! Her energy is unmatched and her kindness and positivity is contagious. She makes me feel so confident and proud of whatever I’m working on because of her constant support and encouragement. In my first lesson she took the time to get to know me, my dance background, and ability so she could choreograph something that is perfectly suited for me and what I want to show off in prescreens. To this day it is still my favorite dance I’ve ever performed and has received so many amazing compliments from adjudicators during the college audition process, about how well it showed off my personality, but also my technique, ability and joy while dancing. I absolutely love working with Liliana and could not recommend her enough to other students! No matter where you are in your training, she will do everything she can to help you grow and blossom into an amazing dancer.”
