Cynthia is not only a beautiful person but a wonderful teacher. She trained me for over seven years and has gotten me into dozens of theatrical productions and even ace[ted into a summer opera program that traveled to Italy to study and perform. She taught me professionalism and how to be confident in auditions and rehearsals.
