JIMMY MAKRIS
Never been a fan of self tapes, but these days, they're a necessity. East Side Actors makes it all such a great experience, though. Tommie's an amazing, energetic, encouraging coach, and has a fantastic, professional setup. Self tapes are top notch quality, I trust and recommend her 100%.
MATT FOX
There is nobody like Tommie. As someone else said, she gets me "out of my head." Sweet and smart, and simply the best..
VIRGINIA RONCETTI
Walking into Tommie's backyard, I immediately felt comfortable and was greeted as if I have known her for years. Everything just flowed and I got to play. Really play and try things. Tommie guided what was working and made tweaks to what wasn't.
To anyone who is looking for a person. I mean a real, deep, full heart and soul. Have a chat with Tommie.
REECE PRESLEY
Tommie has been so wonderful - She has coached my son for a while now and she has played a pivotal role in helping him land really big roles. Her self tape recordings are of the highest standard! We will always refer people to ESA and never will we do a self tape at home again!
MARIETTE HERMANN
Tommie helped me tape 5 scenes in a pinch. She kept me out of my head and helped bring myself to the surface. I was thrilled with how great the tapes turned out and got great feedback from my agent right away. Highly highly recommend!
MARY ANTONINI
Tommie is my absolute go-to. She's kind, honest and fair. I've never felt more comfortable in my self-tape sessions, I'm always beyond eager to travel the distance to work with her. The quality of the footage is great, and she has amazing rates that make going to her studio for tapings and coachings really sustainable for actors. She is the best!!!
ELENA
Can’t say enough about East Side Actors. Perfect set-up and Tommie just gets it. She’s a great actor which makes her a great scene partner, whether coaching or working as a reader only. My go to for self-tapes in Toronto or zoom reads when I’m on the road.
MATT WELLS​
If I could give 10 stars, I would! Working with Tommie has been an incredible experience. She’s not only a dedicated and hardworking coach but also genuinely invested in her clients’ success. I highly recommend East Side Actors to any creative looking to level up—you won’t be disappointed!
