What actors say
about the work.

"Esta escuela ofrece las herramientas que un actor necesita para conseguir, en poco tiempo, resultados conectados con la verdad interior del artista y, por tanto, una interpretación llena de verdad y coherencia. Elsy es una coach muy profesional y respetuosa, que acompaña en el proceso de profundización de la obra y el personaje."

"Working with Elsy has been an amazing experience. She is honest, patient, and supportive, which made rehearsals feel both productive and comfortable. Starting each class with monologue practice really helped me get into the right mindset and showed us what to focus on for the day. The Chubbuck technique was incredibly effective and helped me grow so much as an actor. I truly appreciate her guidance and the way she pushed me to bring out the best performances!"

"I worked with Elsena on my last audition and we booked it! She helped me open up new points of view — ones you would never think of. Having done deep work on the character, I was able to stay open to the director's ideas in the casting and play with them in different ways — something that used to be so hard for me. Working together, out of three auditions we booked 2."

"It's easy to find coaches who point out your flaws, but it's rare to find someone who brings out the best in you. Elsy did exactly that. She never stressed the negatives — instead, she nurtured what was already there, making the whole journey far more enriching and worthwhile as an actor. You learn to read a character word by word, slowly inhabiting their world under her meticulous and compassionate guidance."

"Elsy blew my mind. If you want to find an honest, authentic way of working — discovering parts of yourself and understanding what truly moves the character — I recommend her. After 10 years in the profession I was a bit bored of the same things. With Elsy I feel like growing, learning and exploring again."

"Learning the Chubbuck Technique with Elsy has helped me integrate a new dimension in preparing my characters for my latest movie shootings and castings. Beyond the Meisner and Lecoq technique I used to build on, Elsy enriched my work with her inspiring and empowering way of teaching."

"I worked with Elsy one-to-one to secure a challenging role in a short film. I can feel my progress with every session. The improvement in performances she gets out of her actors is truly remarkable."

"I've been doing Elsy's classes for four months. A professional and caring teacher who pushes you to self-improvement — an inspiring atmosphere and mind-blowing insights during every class."

"I've been studying the Chubbuck Technique with Elsy for almost 2 years. I have reclaimed once lost ambition, drive and confidence. She challenges you to be fearless and dares you to win."

"We discovered emotions drawn from the past, some which I had buried for years. It made the piece very powerful, as the emotions were real and raw. It's pure magic."

"I started online 4 weeks ago and it has really made a huge change in my acting. Elsy's classes are always well structured and she knows how to choose scenes for her students."
