Professional Inquiries

“Rachel skillfully intuits the subtleties of a character from the script alone and is a joy to direct from that point. She brings a lot to the table (read) and has an impressive acting range.” ~Veronica Zin — Director, Editor

“Rachel was a student of mine in multiple classes when she was an undergraduate at Temple University. She is one of the few students I have asked to assist and shadow me with outside professional dialect work; I trusted her to be a dedicated and serious professional in the field, which she, of course, proved to be. Rachel has a terrific ear for dialects and accents, but she is also a gifted actress. She loves to act and works hard at every job she's gotten. I recommend this talented performer!”  ~Melanie Julien — Actor, Professor, Head of Undergraduate Acting at Temple University, Dialect Coach
