ANDREW ALTON REED, LONDON
A great agent who knows me inside out and I have a great professional relationship with. One to one personal approach and advice on my acting career and beyond. I have been more specific about my submissions. Pin pointed which parts and productions suit my branding. Goal setting monthly and putting steps in place to get me nearer to achieving my goals. Creating my own work and succeeding way beyond what I expected. I would highly recommend Eki. A great coach. Gives the personal touch in a professional, encouraging and respectful way.
ANAMIKA SRIVASTAVA, LONDON
In our very first meeting, we had a clear structure of what we needed to work on, along with a kind of “career diagnosis” that gave me a clear vision of where I was and where I could go. Eki helped me see exactly what stage I was at in my career, and that clarity made me decide that I am gonna continue sessions with Eki. Spotlight guidance to building my confidence, has been magical and so helpful in shaping me as an actor beyond just my acting skills. These sessions have completely turned my acting career around. Since working with Eki, I’ve landed paid acting jobs, discovered my own acting style, and received many big auditions I never had before. I would definitely recommend any actor to take one-to-one sessions with Eki. They truly help turn acting into a viable, full-time career.
