To whom it may concern, I am an international student in UNSW. I am from Beiing, China. My mentor Michael, the CEO of Zip Industries, suggested I do a course with Tracy. I have been taught by Tracy Hardwick since April, 2014. She taught me how to speak confidently in public, as well as in interviews. We modeled situation and content of job interviews when she taught me how to behave politely and confidently. Also, she kindly shared tips of how to deal with tensions in workplace with me, which is very important to a student who is about to graduate and start finding jobs like me. She showed me the correct way of breathing and reading poetry, which inspires me a lot. Now whenever I feel worried or depressed, I’ll try to breath as she taught me and calm down. Recently, we move to IELTS (International English Language Testing System). We focus on the speaking part. Although we just started, I have confidence that we will make great progress. Finally, I just want to say, as an international student from a foreign country, I was encouraged a lot by her kindness and patience! Kind Regards, Emma Song

Having recently completed the Communication and presenting skills course with Tracy, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone needing a bit of a boost with their presentation skills. My goal was to create a more imposing presence in the corporate meeting room forum. We workshopped plenty of theoretical and practical ideas from preparation and state of mind right through to audience analysis, always focussing on the goal of delivering the message in character. Across the duration, Tracy’s background in drama, acting and expression was evident and invaluable in creating both the knowledge and awareness I needed to start unlocking my potential. Her drive for results became a mantra for me in terms of embedding the lesson material in my own time. With this impetus I was able to feel satisfied that my goal had been achieved and am now using that as a solid platform for continuous improvement. Thank you Tracy for your passionate and inspirational way of coaching. I really feel confident of falling back on the fundamentals of performance and their application in the corporate arena.

Tracy is an established international performer in her own right. She hared her ‘gift’ while teaching my son Callan when he was cast for his first Musical Theatre role as Oliver in the musical of the same name. As the Director of this Musical she took a young athlete into a totally different field resulting in a fabulous success for both her student and the production. Subsequently she tutored Callan in the Trinity Musical Theatre Exams where he topped the state of NSW performing scenes from Oliver, Sweeney Todd, Billy Elliott and sang from the soundtrack of “Lord of the Rings”. During the 3 years Callan worked with Tracy he was invited to audition for excellent roles in Television and Film in both Australia and the USA. Callan subsequently secured roles in several of these including Packed to the Rafters as well as the lead in two films. The Australian Award winning short FRANSWA SHARL Director by Australian Hannah Hilliard and the soon to be released FLIPPED Directed by Mr Rob Reiner in the USA. We have found Tracy to not only be a fantastic and creative force in Callan’s life but also a great support – when the going get’s tough – as it can on occasion in the Performing Arts. She is part of our team on our journey in this industry and we look forward to working with her and to also watching her perform for many years to come. By Claudia Keech (Director of Motherinc.)
