Real results from real performers.
These are the people I've had the privilege of working with — college students, working professionals, performers returning to the industry, and artists building something entirely their own. Every one of them did the work.
Career Clarity + Booking
"Before, I was stuck in a rut and felt too old, too late, and too behind to chase dreams and make that transition from stage to screen. After working with Ashlee, I started to reframe my thinking and we came up with a clear plan of action. If she hadn't encouraged me to put myself out there, I wouldn't be waiting on my first contract for a supporting role in an independent film."
Scean Aaron — Stage to screen transition
"As a non-union actor, I secured final callbacks for the national tour of Madagascar, Hairspray, Miss Saigon, and Little Shop of Horrors — all AEA contracts. I also received a meeting from GBM Agency in NYC. Your advice literally changed my entire trajectory. I'm now being called for roles that are spot on my type."
DaShawn Williams — Professional bookings and agency representation
"Ashlee's coaching and guidance were invaluable in helping me land the role of Sam on Royal Caribbean's production of Mamma Mia. Her expertise and support made a significant impact on my audition process. I'm grateful for her help and highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their craft."
Jerrod Cate — Booked Royal Caribbean's Mamma Mia
"After college, I had a hard time finding where I belonged because I felt alone and scared to have a niche. Ashlee helped me find a clear lane to work in — not to get rid of my range, but to market myself professionally and confidently. She asks you the questions you forget to ask yourself."
Maddie Cook — Post-college clarity and finding her lane
"Before working with Ashlee, I struggled with burnout and seeing a place for myself in this industry. She helped me become laser focused, sustaining motivation and discipline more effectively. Since working with her, I've debuted in my first NYC musical, gotten further in final rounds of callbacks for national tours, and I'm more confident than ever before."
Megan Catalina — Booked and working in New York City
"My biggest struggle was feeling out of touch with the musical theatre community after not working for a few years. The biggest thing I've overcome is getting back on stage and booking work. Since working with Ashlee I booked a six month contract doing shows as a singer, dancer, and actor."
Abi Rose — Booked a six-month contract
"I was confused, unaware, and unorganized in this field and two weeks into working with Ashlee I had 7 auditions from having nothing. Within a month I can happily say I've had 13 auditions, 3 bookings, and a happy me."
Ana Rodak — Clarity and momentum
"Working with Ashlee has helped me refocus as a performer, shifting my attention away from others' expectations and toward my own strengths. I've gained new clarity to rebuild my book, recognize my unique presence in the audition room, and even rebuild my website."
Katherine Tracy — Confidence and career refocus
"Ashlee has a unique talent for figuring out what each person needs to gain insight, set goals, and activate their potential. She is upfront about the realities of this industry and genuine in her approach. Our time together helped me figure out what I need to get actual paying work and become more clear on what I want from my career."
Kristin Cotts — Clarity and direction
"I have consistently been booking professional roles while working with Ashlee and I really had not been doing that previously. This held me accountable and got me out of bed and working on my career, even on the days I didn't want to. I feel as though I am starting to really understand my own worth and build up my confidence."
Kenedi Chriski — Consistency and self-worth
"Ashlee is one of the most compassionate and informative artists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Because of her I have found the courage to take bold risks on myself that are blooming."
Lyndsee Bell — Courage and growth
"My first session with Ashlee I felt like we had been friends and colleagues for a long time. She has an uncanny skill in identifying with her mentees immediately. In one session, Ashlee was able to dissect the types of musical theater parts I should be auditioning for and provided a whole page of musical choices for me."
Heidi Peterson — Career strategy and material
"She has given me so much guidance in not only auditioning, but in other essential aspects of being a full-time performer. I have so much more clarity and confidence than I ever could have imagined."
Mia Catalano — Performer and coaching client
"Since the start of my process, I've discovered so much more about what I want and where I need to push myself. I've taken new headshots, applied new daily habits, created a website, made plans to move to New York, and I'm generally talking much more positively to myself."
Natalia Rose — Foundation and momentum
"Working with Ashlee has been such a positive experience. She's been helping me make the transition from dance to musical theater with so much patience and understanding. She really listens and approaches everything with an open heart and a non-judgmental perspective. I truly feel that she has my best interests at heart."
Melissa Katz — Dance to musical theatre transition
"I don't dwell on missed jobs anymore and definitely not missed opportunities because I rarely let those go by now."
Lindsey ME Newton — Mindset and momentum
"The greatest value that I've learned is literally the single mantra of done is better than perfect. It's changed everything for me."
Eliana Damaska — Mindset shift
"Ashlee meets you where you are at with no judgement and only respect. Regardless of where you are at in the journey of your creative life it helps to have someone to talk to, guide you or just listen. For a complete beginner it is a step by step program to put you in the industry in a competitive way. For a more seasoned performer there is always something to update, learn or redo."
April Audia — Every stage of career
Business + Online Presence
"I've gotten things done that I've been meaning to do for years — creating a YouTube channel, reel, new headshots, and a website. Ashlee lays everything out in a clear and concise way. Now I feel like I've taken control of my career and I'm able to run it like a business. It feels good."
Vanessa Evans — Career ownership and momentum
"Ashlee has been a true godsend for me. She helped me redesign and update my website, build an email list, and create a professional email campaign to promote my shows. She totally understands the emotions of this business. I just had my NYC cabaret debut at 54 Below with her help. I am very grateful and plan on working with her for a long time."
Laurie Roldan — Cabaret artist, NYC debut
"Want to run your audition by an experienced director? Ashlee. Want advice from someone who is actively auditioning right now? Ashlee. Need help with the business side of musical theatre from an experienced entrepreneur? Ashlee. She has inspired me to pursue roles I never thought I'd be able to before."
Melissa Momboisse — Ongoing client
"In a personalized one-on-one branding session, she helped me realize and project not only the artist that I am, but also the artist that I want to be. It's always a pleasure to work with her and I highly recommend any services she offers."
Vinh G. Nguyen — Online presence and branding
"Working with Ashlee is like enjoying a sunbath, with all the wisdom and positive energy naturally pouring on you. She listens, communicates, and gives you all that she has to help you succeed. If you are looking for a humble, kind, inspiring artist and educator, you are at the right place."
Leo Chang — Artist and educator
"I was contacted about a teaching position that needed to be filled quickly. Who was there at a moment's notice to coach me through my materials and give me endless support — Ashlee Espinosa. I got the position at Penn State. Ashlee shows up 100% for anything and everything. Not only do you need her in your corner — the connection is everlasting."
Tyler McKenzie — Broadway performer to educator
Voice, Technique + Group Classes
"Ashlee is the coach I never thought I needed. With my voice, she helped me confidently hit notes that I didn't think would be possible in a free and open way, and she helped me analyze my script and break down my character's thoughts and motivations in a way that helped me be more present in my scene. She makes me remember why I love to act and to sing."
Estevan Luis Hernandez — Voice and acting technique
"Ashlee made me feel confident with my voice and she taught me so many valuable things that I will keep with me as I continue my training. Her positivity as she coaches is really inspiring and helpful, making me feel like I can really do it even if I do have doubts. You will get results when working with Ashlee."
Aleisha Lew — Voice and confidence
"Ashlee's online musical theatre class was a blast. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about voice and acting technique, but she offers you a welcoming and inclusive environment within which you can truly discover your best self. In four short weeks I discovered brand new resolve and gained important tools needed to overcome my own personal obstacles."
Tommy Waddell — Online musical theatre class
"Ashlee creates a welcoming environment for all of her students. I felt fearless. Through that I discovered many things and was able to let go of all those preconceived notions of myself as a performer. I can 100% say I've noticed a growth within me and the other artists."
Jocelyn Sanchez — Build Your Book class
"Ashlee's YouTube class was so enlightening. I found it especially informative in translating my unique talents to creating successful content. She was super supportive in helping us understand how people use YouTube and what viewers are looking for. Plus she is a lovely human being and made the environment really fun. I highly recommend her classes."
Kimberly Moller — YouTube class and self-tape class
"My experience in Ashlee's self-tape class was fantastic. By the last week I was so jazzed to use the tools she gave us that I made four new videos and broke all the rules by making a music video in my last one. She was excited that I felt open enough to dive in. It was very affordable for the value and I highly recommend her class."
Kimberly Moller — Self-tape class
"To anyone on the fence about Ashlee's YouTube course — do it. The videos are perfectly broken down, making it super easy to follow along. This course is perfect for those looking to grow their channel or even those just starting off. I highly recommend it."
Jocelyn Sanchez — YouTube for Artists course
"Ashlee's YouTube course is amazing. Everything is explained so clearly. When we talk about social media, especially YouTube, there are things that are very confusing and daunting, but Ashlee breaks it down so they seem like a breeze. I am an artist and educator and I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about starting or revamping a channel."
Ana Belén Croston — YouTube for Artists course
"Ashlee is one of the most talented women I know and definitely the best teacher I've ever worked with. She understands and encourages individuality in everything we do and never fails to let us know that we are the only version of ourselves and that version is beautiful. Both my knowledge in musical theatre and my confidence in performing have skyrocketed."
Sami Dixon — Musical theatre classes
"Taking class with Ashlee has been my highlight. She is a ray of sunshine and has empowered me to trust my artistic self. I feel very safe taking class with her and I can try new things and explore my talents without judgement. I cannot recommend her enough."
Ana Belén Croston — Online classes
"I wouldn't have been able to develop my book, grow my mind, or free my self-judgment as much as I have this past month without you. Thank you for making me believe in my voice."
Jamie Dan — Workshop participant
"You helped me discover my voice again, and you taught me techniques I've never done before. I would absolutely recommend your classes to other performers I know. Thank you for helping me grow over the last month — I am back."
Synnova MacLeod — Workshop participant
"I was taking one on one lessons when I started with Ashlee and I knew nothing about singing. Although I felt I was not making any progress she always lifted me up and encouraged me to keep going. Ashlee creates such a great working environment it makes you feel seen and supported. She is the best and I highly recommend working with her."
Arielle Sidney Kenny — Voice lessons and group class
"Thank you so much for being such an inspiring person, so supportive, and for offering such an amazing class that was my favorite part about summer so far. This class helped me escape all of my troubles and made me feel so loved and I can't thank you enough for that."
Brandon Burchard — Summer class participant
"I just wanted to thank you so much for such a great lesson today. I loved your philosophy and you truly inspired me. I feel so much more confident now in the song and about singing musical theater. Your kind words and support meant so much to me."
Kiki Ruiz — Voice lesson
College Audition Prep
"I met Ashlee in June 2024 after receiving zero acceptances to any MT programs. With her guidance, I received 5 acceptances into well-renowned programs when I auditioned in 2025. She never spoon-fed me — she has an amazing ability to bring out your own interpretation through the questions she asks. Ashlee is truly the most supportive and inspirational coach I've ever had the pleasure of working with."
Sukha Yang — 5 college acceptances
"Ashlee offered my daughter and I the exact advice we were seeking as she begins to bridge the gap between high school and a career in musical theatre. She helped us understand there is not one right way and it's okay if it looks different than what would be considered traditional. Ashlee's expertise was a breath of fresh air and we now have a plan to put into motion."
Melody Wasson — Parent of a college-bound performer
