Notes

Recent Testimonials: “I taught Heleina over four weeks. From the moment she appeared on screen it was clear that she is a natural talent. Her deep sense of honesty and humanity on camera makes her very watchable and relatable. She is the youngest ever accepted in this masterclass!"-Les Chantery, (Actor, Director, Educator at The Actors Station, Sydney -Aus) "Heleina has an innate vulnerability and warmth which inspires an empathetic connection from the viewer. She can also tap into fierce strength and determination allowing her to access and play a multitude of characters in varied situations. I have no hesitation in recommending this rising star of exceptional ability”- Socrates Otto (Actor,Educator at Sydney Actors Collective, Syd-Aus) "Heleina has proved herself an actress of extraordinary ability. Though the youngest in the class, she has shown an incredible maturity in her work. Her ability to breakdown and understand scripts, make intelligent choices and take on direction goes above and beyond. She is fearless, talented and passionate young actress, an asset to any class or production!" -Nadia Townsend (Actress/Director/Dramaturg/Educator, Syd-Aus) "Despite her youth she showed maturity beyond her years making the right showreel choices and this was very emphasized in her attitude and talent. Heleina is an extremely talented and competent young actress and is attending my current Emotions courses where my initial assessment has proved to be correct. Apart from being a thoroughly nice person she is obviously dedicated to her craft and am certain that with the right opportunity she will prove to be extremely successful. Dare I say, she is a star in the making!" -John Orcsik (Director, Producer, Actor at The Australian Film and Television Academy, Syd-Aus) "Heleina is really professional and take directions well. I have been in the film industry since 1969 and recently has been one of my great pleasures to work with her. Heleina is talented, dedicated, imaginative and fearless in her approach to her acting. I am sure she will apply these principles to all her work and be a great contribution to any school/acting agency. I was impressed with her concentration and has an ability for drama and comedy." -Christine McClure aka Elli MacClure (Aussie Actor in Hollywood, Academy Award Acting Coach, L.A.-USA) "Heleina is very interesting! She's got a great look and makes intelligent choices. With her height and maturity she can play a little bit older than her age. She can switch off her Australian accent at a drop of a dime, a very impressive trait." -Carol Goldwasser (Casting Director for Disney and Nickelodeon, L.A.-USA)
