It's time to change that mantra."

“Striking the right balance between having years of experience, industry connections, standards for success, relentless drive, and being a mother of children who are currently working in the industry, Leesa is probably the most qualified person to find, nurture, elevate, and launch talent into successful performing arts careers. If you are reading this, either as a parent of a talented child or are considering a life in the arts yourself, you’ve stumbled upon THE best resource and door into succeeding in this industry."

“It is remarkable how inspiring and influential Leesa and LBC Talent has been for so many in and around the industry. She utilizes her years of experience to selflessly guide her clients. I witnessed how many producers, directors, casting offices and talent alike appreciated her professionalism and drive. I never dreamt of working with Steven Spielberg, being in five Broadway shows or holding a recurring guest starring role on a tv show."
Jeremy Bonnell
CREDITS TV – BOARDWALK EMPIRE; COMMERCIAL – NUTELLA, RONZONI, CHUCK E CHEESE, LORD & TAYLOR, MICROSOFT, SHOPRITE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, WORLD’S ASTONISHING NEWS
“Leesa’s experience and expertise were unquestionably the keys to Jeremy’s success as a young actor. With her deep industry ties, she was able to introduce us to a manager who she knew would be a good fit for Jeremy. She provided ongoing guidance to both Jeremy and me throughout the audition, call back and production processes. We would highly recommend to those seeking guidance in navigating the pro acting world. Leesa made the dreams of a young actor attainable, and she shared in the joy of his success. "

Echo Picone
CREDITS: FILM; THORP, OFF-BROADWAY: TREVOR THE MUSICAL, STAGE; ANNIE WITH ANDREA MCARTLE (ANNIE), THE BEDWETTER, BROADWAY WORKSHOP, VOICE OVER; PINKALICIOUS & PETERIFIC (KENDRA), WEATHERING WITH YOU (KANA), THEATRE DEMO WORK; GRETEL, THE MUSICAL (GRETEL)
“I took Leesa’s seminar on navigating the world of professional kids and it was invaluable. It gave me solid expectations and a knowledge base to not be the parent that accidentally weeds their child out of the industry by acting in ways that are not appreciated by the people who call the shots (and that happens too often!) Thanks to Leesa’s guidance and her connections, Echo was signed to a huge bi-coastal agency across all departments by age five.."
