ACTING TESTIMONIAL
YOU ARE ... UNIQUE AND ONE-OF-A KIND IN WHAT YOU DO
"I enjoyed your class so much I can't even begin to describe it, but I can try.Being in your class made me feel alive and okay just the way I am, and you were the catalyst. You could criticize me and use anything against me you wish, and I would know that you were only doing it for my personal best and growth. That sounds weird just to type that, but that is the truth as I see it and feel it.
You are so awesomely unique and one-of-a-kind in what you do. I loved watching you work with your students in class that night. I watched you, I watched them. I could see they just love the hell out of you and you love the hell out of them. It was just absolutely awesome.
Most Sincerely,"
Billy Ledbetter

"You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that's what the storyteller is, and I think it's important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it's all about them, when in reality it's all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen. "
— Sir Ben Kingsley

BARBARA KITE'S GROUP IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN TOWN
"I was looking for an acting coach who would teach me how go to another level in my presentation to others. What I have learned about where to come from in myself, and how to deliver my message, is invaluable to me.
BARBARA KITE is skillful in her technique, unbelievably supportive to her students. And honest. She is really funny and sharp, and has an unusual sensitivity to people.
Only someone who has lived and knows people can be such a master. "
