What my clients say...
I heard wonderful feedback about Amy Potozkin’s communication sessions. Even the most jaded sales guy came up to me to tell me how much fun he had and how much he learned from Amy both insightfully and practically.
Amy’s positive spirit lifted mine! She gave me the confidence to give my speeches. Because she really engaged with the subject matter, she was also able to fine tune my words.
I’m a much better actor having worked with Amy, and when an audition really matters, she’s the first person I think to call. Not only is she EXTREMELY qualified she is personable, professional, and passionate about seeing actors succeed. If you want to grow as an actor, give Amy a call.
Amy was instrumental in helping break the ice and build rapport between our incoming groups of teens from rival high schools. She met with staff prior to the two-day seminar to assess the needs based on our goals and participants. Amy created a fun, engaging and dynamic series of team-building games and exercises that addressed the core values we wanted to introduce. The trust developed between the students was evident immediately. Students came to rely on each other for support and were better equipped to help others through the subsequent academic and personal challenges they faced.
I appreciated Amy’s keen eye and supportive style when she worked with me on a play I wrote and in which I performed multiple characters. Amy gave me such helpful direction with the characters and she even suggested I add a line, which I’m glad I did: it gets HUGE laughs every show! She is experienced, insightful and generous. I highly recommend working with Amy Potozkin for any kind of theatrical direction/coaching.
