Rooted Stories
“The Rooted Actor was unlike any guidance I’ve experienced in the Industry. Celia creates a safe, encouraging space where you feel truly seen. Not just as an actor, but as a whole person. She helped me reconnect to my identity as a performer and redefine my marketability as an actor. Her coaching style is very unique in the business: joy and warmth, but with absolute honesty that gives you confidence and insight into how to successfully market yourself.”
Tanya Memme, Emmy® Nominated TV Host, Transformational Coach and Inspirational Speaker“Showbiz can be a scary place, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced actor/actress. The vast knowledge and experience that Celia has to offer creates a clear path for actors. I have experience in commercial work and wanted to further my acting career, but felt stuck on how I should move forward. She gave me a fresh perspective on how to market myself and what to look for in roles/jobs. I didn’t realize how my view as an actor differed so greatly from the view of a casting director. Her passion for the industry and attention to detail shows in her work and opens doors for actors who want more.”
Florence Matina, Actor “Unlike an actor who might be new to the business, I came to The Rooted Actor with over a decade of professional experience, having worked in a large market and with a great deal of self-awareness. Coaching with Celia was unlike working with any other coach I’ve encountered. By combining her strengths as both an agent and an artist, she understands how to help a performer to become ‘the whole package’. And the fact that she keeps her eyes on castings daily, in this ever-changing market, is invaluable!
Her coaching style is warm, intelligent, and honest - never one to sugarcoat. I continue to see results, and for that I’m incredibly thankful. I will absolutely continue to use her services."
Courtney Leigh Halford, AEA & SAG-Eligible Actor"I like that you highlighted things I was very strong in as well as what I could work on, then how to best position myself using my strengths I had."
