"Working with Cynthia was easy, dynamic and an integral part of my process playing Medea. She has the exact tools to get you right where you need to be from the very beginning of the dialect integration process. I was able to accomplish an authentic and organic dialect sound that also served to trigger the world of the play. I cannot wait to work with her again and again"
