Understand the Dialogue: Bridge the Gap!

“Natalie worked with me as a consultant on both the directing and the acting elements of my film. Her insight, suggestions and passion were brilliant and invaluable to me.” …Danish Renzu, Director: “The Illegal”, “Half Widow”

“Natalie is sensitive, thoughtful, patient and committed to the work, thereby allowing an actor (novice or professional) to explore and grow into newfound territory. Natalie will enable you to achieve beyond where you ever truly believed you would go.”  …Brad Furman, Director/Writer: “The Infiltrator”, “The Lincoln Lawyer”
