TESTIMONIALS

.

Suzanne passes to her students a passion and dedication to the art of hosting. She's like none other in this town.

Amy Rogg , Student and Host

.

After taking Level 1 and 2 of the Sena Series Hosting Workshop, I booked a travel road-trip show! I credit Suzanne Sena with this booking; if it weren't for the ad-libbing, pacing, presence, and technical skills Suzanne Sena taught me, I would not have been prepared to audition for such a program.

Natalia Fedner , Student, Actress and Host

.

Suzanne is the perfect mix of coach, businesswoman and cheerleader for her students and is nothing short of amazing.  Her teleprompter training was an added bonus and priceless. I respect her and I am thankful that I was lucky enought to train with her.  Bottom line, if you want to be a host, you must train with Suzanne.  100% worth it.

Keltie Colleen , Student, Choreographer and Host

.

After one week of finishing Suzanne's hosting workshop, I booked a job as host of lifestyle show in a Walmart industrial. I booked this job due to everything I learned in Suzanne's workshop.

“I have represented 57 academy award winners and there is not even one who could not have benefitted from the work of Suzanne Sena.”

Michael Levine –Hollywood Publicists and Best Selling Author


“Thank you so much for being such a wonderful teacher. I truly have learned much more about hosting and felt this our class was more of a private coaching session. My last hosting class had almost 40 students, so I appreciated the smaller size and attention we each received. … I truly looked forward to your classes and preparing for them- it was the highlight of my week. “
“… such a positive experience “
 Diane Yoo - Student


“Not only is your career incredibly impressive, so is your warmth, approachability, and care for your students both inside and outside of the classroom. I am so happy to be working with such a remarkable host, teacher, and mentor!  Thank you so much!” (Since taking the class, booked a job as the host/spokesperson for an Invasalign infomercial)

Shannon O’Dowd - Student


“…this class has been invaluable.”
