“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.
Echo Picone

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)
“Echo Picone began in Leesa’s program when she was four years old. By this time her talent was outpacing what we felt we could support and foster, but the other music schools we brought her to had no idea what to do with her, with suggestions that ranged from group Kindermusik classes to working with a vocal coach one on one.

“When we first realized our daughter’s passion for acting and singing, we had no idea what to do with it! Thankfully we found LBC Talent, where Hailey began training in acting, dance, and voice. Leesa and LBC Talent helped Hailey realize her strengths and develop them into serious skills."
Alex Apgar

“It is really difficult to move from being a lead in a school production to working professionally as a child performer. It is critical to learn from someone who knows the industry and Leesa, the Principal at LBC Talent, really prepared Alex for what it takes to make it. She works with industry leaders in dance, acting, and singing to ensure that young performers stand out from the rest."

Lucy Devine
My daughter, Lucy Devine, has been with a NYC Agent and Manager since she was 7. As a parent, I was terrified and knew nothing about the industry. Leesa’s Professional Kids and Teens online course was a game-changer for us. She taught me that I am Lucy’s biggest advocate and helped me understand the importance of her online presence and assets for casting opportunities. Leesa’s knowledge and hands-on support have been invaluable—from guiding us on headshots and resumes to offering top-notch vocal and acting training. She provides a unique blend of personal experience and industry insight, making her an essential resource for parents navigating the performing arts world.I wish I had taken her course sooner, but I am grateful for her ongoing guidance and support."
Quinn Fucci
“Recently signed to a top Youth Agent in NYC/LA Credits: Principal Role – Wetlands – Surfer Girl’s Daughter, The Many Saints of Newark – Neighborhood Kid
When we found Leesa Csolak and LBC Talent, Quinn had already been working in the industry since the age of 5. Mostly small, local jobs booked through her agent in Allentown, PA. Leesa has a deep understanding of the ins and outs of the industry and is a consultant to parents like myself trying to help their child achieve their dreams. Leesa is a one-of-a-kind person in an industry of many. It is not every day you meet someone that is so willing to help you every step of the way. She will sit with you, talk to you, guide you, and help you curate a path that will lead to success. She will also be the first to congratulate you and your child when something awesome comes their way! It was the guided confidence that led us to search out talent agencies in New York for Quinn to continue on her journey in this industry. Quinn was officially signed to one of the top bi-coastal agencies, Take 3 Talent in NYC and she is now auditioning for roles of a lifetime. If you are a parent like me, trying to navigate this industry, or a parent looking for top industry dance, voice, and acting training, Leesa and LBC Talent has everything you need!”
