Lori holds an enormous amount of professional respect within the Boston Theatre Community as an administrator of top-quality standards and professional ethics. She is a charming, charismatic person and brings these qualities into everything she does.
Don Sturdy, Director of Annual Giving, American Repertory Theatre

I came to Lori after hearing her name within actor circles and from reading about her inside industry publications. The unique approach that Lori brings to the business of acting is an individual map towards one's own success. Through her organized approach, we developed a personal plan of attack toward the fickle world of acting. She is beyond a source of information. Lori is motivated and inspired by all working and not yet working actors. Her desire for her client's success is infectious and exciting. I am proud to say that I am one of many working actors that started under Lori''s wing. Bottom line, I am a successful, working actor in NY. I am not a waiter or a bartender - in fact, within 6 months of moving into the NY market, I now pay ALL my bills from acting! And all of the "biggies" on Lori's lists that used to intimidate me - No longer do so. I audition for them every day.

Lori is a master at relationship building. She never forgets a name or a face and makes you feel like you're her only client. She is not only my career coach but she also builds my confidence and motivates me to persevere in what we know as the toughest business. I have been working with Lori via telephone from Los Angeles for 5 years - No one in LA can top her honesty and sound advice.
Meredith Ellman, Client

Upon moving to Boston from Los Angeles, I had no idea what the acting world was like or who to trust. Finding Lori was magic! Her warmth, knowledge, honesty and business savvy helped my acting career tremendously! The majority of my career successes and motivation stemmed from just one meeting with her. I have booked auditions and have overcome some personal self-defeating obstacles. Lori is wonderful for any actor, not only professionally, but personally as well. She is a true Beacon of Light for actors!
Catherine Zapanta, Client

Lori's step by step approach helped me to make professional choices that were appropriate for "me"! She saved me time, money and got me moving forward! She made specific recommendations that were right for my individual pursuits. Most importantly, Lori gave me the confidence I needed in order to pursue opportunities, head on. Within one year of pursuing professionally, I landed five commercials, four independent films and three industrials. Thank you Lori for being there!
Thomas Benton, Client

I was looking to go to the next level, but I just didn't know how to do it. I felt like I was coming to a dead end and didn't know how to make the right connections. I had met Lori at a seminar, and held on to her brochure. Boy, was I glad I hadn't thrown it away! When I met with her, I couldn't believe what a spitfire she was!
Lori taught me how to organize and execute a plan to create relationships with the people I had been wanting to work with, but couldn't get to. I realized then it wasn't just about landing the audition, it was about learning how to run a business, the business of YOU, successfully. What's great is that she really centers on what your goals are, and helps you create a plan to accomplish them. And it doesn't just end at the session. She checks up on me to see how I'm doing, and is always there giving me a great big "YES!" In this industry, that type of support can be rare. Within a year's time of my first meeting with Lori, I've landed jobs in professional theatres, major motion pictures, and television commercials.
I never could have done it without her!
Holly Vanasse, Client

Actors have a hard time being objective about themselves, particularly if they have had a long dry spell. They can be too hard on themselves, losing sight of their unique strengths. Lori was wonderfully perceptive and positive in her approach - Not only with practical suggestions but also with helping me look at myself in an invigorating new light!
Paul Horn, Client

Lori is a tower of strength. I have learned so much during our sessions together.

Before I moved to New York City - fortunately I called Lori. She told me the ins and outs of the industry, how to market myself, where to study, how to research classes, photographers and what the best resources were that best met my needs. I recommend her to anyone. Lori is encouraging, reassuring and honest. For that I will always be grateful!
