"Melee is an exceptional and inspired acting coach. I've never seen a coach engage with young thespians more insightfully and with more intuitiveness and integrity. She helps actors connect with the text while connecting deeply with the tools of their trade: their emotions, physical bodies and experiences. I would hire her again in a second."
