“I have known and worked with Toni Attell for many years.
I have enjoyed her as a talent, friend and recently as a hypnotherapist to
overcome stage fright. I'm happy to say after 4 sessions, I’m more confident and
very comfortable in live situations. Thanks Toni!”
Tracey Bregman Recht Actress, The Young and the Restless
“I met Toni as a student in her “Acting for the Writer”
class at USC….from the first few moments in that class, we knew we had something
special in our professor…..Toni was able to seamlessly work with all our
strengths and weaknesses. Her carefully chosen, clever exercises taught us how
to build characters and stories in our writing by utilizing acting skills. By
the time we had completed the course, the improvement among the students was
undeniably apparent…..Toni has the type of personality that immediately captures
your attention….. however, Toni doesn't just stand out. It is her personable
warmth and her genuine interest in her students'
aspirations and well-being that make her stand above…..Toni went out of her way,
outside of the classroom, using her industry network to help further my career….
Anyone who has the opportunity to work with or learn from her is beyond
fortunate; she has so much to teach.”
Marcy Kelly, Los Angeles, CA
“Toni was the consummate professional, both as an acting
coach and as a mentor for my children. Thanks to her guidance, they were
represented by top Hollywood agents and were cast into commercials for Nike,
Ford, Kohl’s and Hanes, among others. The acting, improv and auditioning skills
they learned from Toni improved their self-confidence and has also helped them
achieve a high degree of success in high school and college.”

“Toni is an excellent teacher and human being. She gave me
outstanding feedback and direction and guided me in ways that promoted my career
and helped me avoid the pitfalls that so many people unintentionally fall into.”
Chris F., Orange, CA
"The amazing thing is, that when I got the part, all the
techniques you taught me just came to me. I took such a different approach to it
than I had taken when I tried out for parts before. I learned so much from you
so quickly. Dammit! You made a real actor out of me!!”
Patrick McCarthy – actor and sitcom writer, Hollywood, CA
“Toni’s warmth and humor put me at ease from my very first
lesson with her. In just a few short months, I have already learned so much that
is going to help me in becoming a better actress.”
Alexis C., Los Alamitos, CA
“Toni was a great help to me not only as an acting coach,
but she completely helped me with changing my French accent and taught me
English as I acted. She mentored about how to make acting into a viable
business. She is amazing!”
David B., Beverly Hills
“I wanted to thank you for being a great teacher…….I
really enjoyed your acting classes. They will always be one of my fondest LA
memories.”
