Tina did an amazing job tailoring her coaching to my needs. She immediately put me at ease and provided very practical and effective techniques. In just a couple of sessions, she helped take my transform my somewhat “dry” presentation and really make it sing. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tina D’Elia as my Casting Assistant since December 2010. She is enthusiastic and hard working and enjoys working with actors, casting talent, and assisting with auditions. Tina possesses a positive personality, strong acting instincts, and has a natural ability to help actors feel supported in the auditioning process and encouraged. I would highly recommend Tina to anyone looking for casting support or coaching in their creative process.

I had the opportunity to co-facilitate several different workshops with Tina D’Elia. Tina wrote the content of her workshops and then led and presented her exercises. It goes without saying, Tina has a grasp on how to connect with people as well as help them be more self aware. Tina’s background in acting and consulting really shine through when formulating her workshop content. Her connection to her audience is focused and interactive which lends a unique “twist” to her presentations. I found myself forgetting that I was in a workshop because her exercises were not only informative, but entertaining as well.

I look forward to working with Tina again. Tina was an absolute delight to work with and her audience always has a lot to take away.

I cannot recommend Tina highly enough! She is exceptionally skilled, dedicated, insightful, warm, and supportive. I have known Tina since 2004 (when I began volunteering at CUAV) – she is a passionate community leader who truly works to bring out the best in people. More recently, I had the honor of working with her as a consultant. Her coaching and creative feedback were invaluable to our production company, and she was absolutely delightful to work with.

I first met Tina while working as a youth intern at Community United Against Violence. She was always extremely warm, available and encouraging. She took the interns seriously, which I appreciated on many levels, being new to the Bay. I remember Tina helping coach me for a queer youth spoken word audition on her lunch break, and many moments like this.

Recently I was very lucky to win a free 20-minute telephone coaching with Tina. I was impressed by how over a decade later, in 20 minutes, she could offer great advice that spoke to the heart of my concerns as a teacher. Tina’s excellent listening skills helped me clarify what changes I wanted to make in how I structure my class. While this doesn’t fall exactly under performance training, I think that one of Tina’s strengths is to see situations holistically. Her questions about the small details of what happens when I enter the classroom were very helpful to me in thinking about how I want to improve how I structure my class.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Tina Delia via telephone, and I must say her listening skills are admirable! Being a newbie in front of the camera, Tina gracefully offered plenty of tips, and best practices to help me be at my best on camera. Her sincere encouragement, and attention to detail is priceless. Do yourself a favor, and allow Tina to help you achieve your wildest dreams, you will not be disappointed!

When I hired Tina D’Elia to help me get ready for a video shoot I was about to do, I was so nervous. I am new to being on camera. Tina was so calm, and gave great direction without making me feel even more nervous. She was calm and walked me through each part of my script. Tina has since coached me on a variety of videos I have put up online. I recommend Tina for anybody that is looking for coaching for any video work yourself and your business on camera. The best money I have ever spent.
