Testimonials:

"Patricia was the first person that I read a teleprompter in front of. Of course, at the time I was nervous... and lacked talent. She helped break down the barrier between me and the camera. She instilled confidence in me to be fearless in front of the camera to help my TRUE personality shine through over time."
-Ryan Kristafer, Entertainment Anchor/Reporter Fox 5 WNYW-TV New York 
 
"Working with Patricia was a godsend. Her approach to on camera work in general was always so helpful but her Calmfidence program is what every performer needs. The media business is fast paced with high expectations and no room for error. That pressure can become overwhelming and Patricia's techniques allows one to learn how to maintain professionalism and perform at your highest caliber. I would highly recommend her services.  "-Alyse Zwick, NBC News – Emmy Nominated Anchor/Reporter 

"I value my coaching time with Patricia. She helped me pivot from one broadcast scenario to another, which is common in the real, in-the-moment media world. I am so thankful for the experience I got with Patricia. I highly recommend working with her to anyone who is serious about being better on-air."
-Chadwick Boyd, Food Media Entrepreneur/TV Host/Author 

"I have taken many of her classes and worked with Patricia for numerous on-air appearances which include ABC The View, The Today Show, Fox 5, and E! News to name a few. She taught me how to not only perform on camera , but off camera as well. Every podcast and interview I have had the opportunity to take part in so far in my career have been successful and on point due to the training from Patricia. I have worked with Patricia for a myriad of castings for companies such as QVC, Home Shopping Network , Discovery Channel and major network Hosting Gigs. These sessions were extremely informative and helped me get a foot in the door. Her professionalism, and knowledge gave me the confidence to get through some of the toughest auditions. With each TV, radio, or online segment I complete, I always go back to the skills that I have learned from Patricia -each one is flawless and well executed and it just keeps getting better. The training and mentoring that I have received from Patricia has helped me become who I am today. I know I will continue using all these skills throughout my career."
