La Shell Wooten's Talk Taboo

Hillary was the lead host for our Nick Jr. block on Nickelodeon. Working with Hillary was a wonderful experience. She was fantastic as our main character Robyn and she worked well with everyone from preschoolers to puppets on set. She was very professional and always came to set prepared, knowing her lines. She lit up the camera in every scene she did and was a natural talking to preschoolers on the other side of the camera. I highly recommend Hillary. - Adrienne Torrisi, Supervising Producer at Nickelodeon

Hillary is and was the best, so much energy and talent, that sometimes i would have to say take it easy.... i would recommend her for anyone who is thinking of hiring a pretty young actress/singer... She is just the best!! - Charles Weldon, Artistic Director at Negro Ensemble Co.

Negro Ensemble Company

Hillary produced and narrated two audio books for us at Evolved Publishing (I hope there will be more to come). She completed the projects well ahead of schedule, working rapidly without ever compromising on quality, which is critical to us.

She related with the author in a friendly, cooperative, and productive manner, and strove at each step of the process to produce a finished product that she, the author, and we as publisher could all be proud to offer our customers.

Her skill in not just reading the books, but acting and living them, has made them something that listeners are sure to enjoy.

If I had to come up with just one complaint about Hillary, I'd be in big trouble, because she was simply a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you're considering hiring Hillary, I would recommend her enthusiastically.
