About Valérie Lecomte

Picture

































Ask me how happy I am to have had this opportunity to work with you again. How happy am I, do you ask? I'm ecstatic. And grateful. You are so generous and respectful and responsible and kind. And loving. So, so loving. You care. So much. There was never a moment when you weren't giving your all. You invested entirely. Allowed your imagination full reign. Made yourself fully available mentally, emotionally and physically. And thankfully allowed yourself to take enormous pleasure even in the occasional, occupational pain. Watching you imagine your way into Arkadina, Bertha, Vera, not to mention Amanda and Alma... Making their problematic, paradoxical lives your own... was thrilling. As you grounded yourself in their realities.

Valerie has  attended several of my  courses and proved herself to be one of the best  I have  worked with. 
She  has shown herself to be committed, focused, curious and talented.  
She was always prepared for each class and she listened and took direction extremely well.
She asked great questions and loved to discuss the different possibilities with each scene.
Other professionals, Directors and Casting people I have had come into class were always  very impressed.
With her initiative, commitment, curiosity, talent and good work ethic, I am confident that she will make a great contribution in  the performing arts.

Valérie, vous avez une telle aisance pour vous déplacer dans l'espace. Ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde.

Proverbs 141, by Sofia Lane

You have such a wonderful positive energy that not many people have these days and it was truly an honour to work with you. You were very pleasant to direct, since you are already an emotional person to begin with.
Your positivity is so uplifting and I'm so grateful to have you as my actress.
I really hope to work with you again.
Sofia Lane, Director. Toronto

Valérie, j'ai pu regarder le court-métrage Proverb 141, qui m'a sincèrement beaucoup plu. Vous y êtes parfaite, juste, sensible, vraie. Rien n'est plus émouvant chez un comédien que de penser qu'il ne joue pas. Équilibre fragile, mais que vous tenez jusqu'au bout du film, sans tomber dans la démonstration ni l'excès. Bravo.
Patrice Leconte, Director

So Far and Soar, by Jocelyne Chaput
