Testimonials

“Cynthia Ning gave an impressive audition for My Family and Other Animals and was suitably cast. She stayed with the production from the beginning to the end - a huge commitment stretching for over 4 months - July-Oct 2022. Cynthia executed her various roles very well and was a popular member of the cast. She is a clever comic and has a command of various accents. Cynthia contributed to her costuming and character development with skill. She was extremely co-operative with the production team. I recommend her highly for any future performance or production roles.”

“I have been working with Cynthia Ning for over 7 months in my capacity as an editor and book coach. Cynthia is a very talented writer who actively looks for ways to improve her craft and engage with the writing community. She seeks feedback on different aspects of her writing, discusses options and implements suggestions as needed - as such, I have seen considerable growth in her writing. Cynthia is passionate about literature and the importance of story. I'm continually impressed by her drive, her passion and her development as a writer."
