“Thank you Sandra for your lessons, from which I have learnt much about myself and how I effect others. You have taught me many acting principals. How to listen before I respond and how to anchor my beliefs on the weight of simple truths. This trust in myself - I owe much to your teachings.”
- Manu Bennett
“Sandra taught me to be a better actor, and a better man. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today without her. From guest star to recurring series regulars and film rolls, I've used Sandra’s script analysis techniques to navigate every part I've played. Sandra knows actors. She loves actors and she gives herself freely in the pursuit of finding a character. It has been my true privilege to have learned from the very best!”
- Daniel Lissing
