TESTIMONIALS:

COACHING AND TEACHING:

 "I have observed her work as a director in Norway and as a teacher in Santa Fe.... bringing vision, experience and good humour to everything she does. She can enthuse both actors and students and is a terrific leader of teams. Her work around the world has given her a breadth of knowledge and experience that is rarely found."

Luke Dixon, Director International Workshops Festival, London.

 

"She has always shown teaching of the highest calibre, and is now internationally acclaimed as a vocal and acting coach. We consider her unique in her field."

Anthony Branch, Director Emeritus British American Drama Academy (BADA), London.

 

"The result that she achieves with actors is truly remarkable. She has an extraordinary ability to help actors express enormous intensity of feeling while they also achieve full believability in their acting.... She also has an excellent command of Shakespearean text...."

FILM:

"We worked together on the Warner Brothers Movie 'The Power of One', which I directed and for which I hired Ms Davidson as the Acting Coach for the difficult task of preparing the three young lead-role actors: Guy Witcher, age seven, Simon Fenton, age fourteen, and Stephen Dorff, age seventeen. The film was shot in Africa where she worked on location. Among the most difficult tasks in this production was preparing the seven-year-old Guy Witcher for the sequences in which he meets an elephant and the lengthy sections of voice-over dialogue spoken by Guy Witcher. She played a critical role in the success of this production...."
