Coaching the great Elle Fanning on this series was a fabulous experience!
Here are some of the rave reviews:

Elle Fanning does superb work – VARIETY

100%- ROTTEN TOMATOES

It’s the kind of astounding performance we expect from Elle Fanning – Rogerebert.com

Ms. Fanning astounds, and her natural charisma probably makes the character more palatable than she would have been otherwise. WALL STREET JOURNAL

Elle Fanning in a finely calibrated performance – CHICAGO SUN TIMES

Fanning who dominates the show and makes it all into a rich character study. BOSTON GLOBE

Elle Fanning is mesmerizing in this sensitively handled limited series. An exceptional performance – PLAYLIST

Elle Fanning’s convincingly captures Michelle Carter’s distant, haunted quality – CNN

I’m so thrilled to have coached ELLE FANNING for Hulu’s new series about Michelle Carter and Coco Roy… the riveting true story. Here’s a part of just one of the new rave reviews. This is a don’t miss event that I’m so proud of. Mark your calendars.

“There’s a moment in “The Girl from Plainville” where Elle Fanning’s Michelle Carter has a “Glee”-esque song and dance routine with boyfriend Conrad “Coco” Roy (Colton Ryan). As the two perform “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” in the street of her suburban home, it captures everything that makes the series engaging.” – INDIEWIRE

Working with Elle and Colton Ryan on this series was a moving, fun and unforgettable experience. There is a musical fantasy sequence that is exquisitely directed by Pippa Bianco.
Don’t miss this thrilling series about Michelle Carter. I wont give away the story but it’s all true . March 29th on Hulu!

I can’t wait for you all to see the great Elle Fanning in the Girl From Plainville mini-series! Working with her on this film was, as always was an unforgettable experience. She’s spectacular in this, as always and I’m very proud of our work together.

ADAM PASCAL, the original Roger in Broadway’s RENT and the leading man in Elton John’s AIDA et al, was fantastic in this week’s Voice Gym. With sage advice about crafting a song vocally, how to rock auditions and callbacks, secrets to sustaining a long Broadway run and keep it fresh and so much more, it was an unforgettable afternoon with Adam.!

This week’s guest is one of the classic Pop recording artists ever, who I have vocally coached and has become one of my all time fave people. She’ll be guesting Tuesday February 23rd and I couldn’t be more excited! But it’s a secret and who it is will be revealed next week! Stay well and safe everybody.

I’m also thrilled to have started a new VOICE GYM last week. My first guest of this new session was
