Franco Machado-Pesce
As a trained Actor, I want to give you all the support you need during your audition. As an actor I leave a lot of room open for play so that we can use our imagination to its upmost capacity to build and understand characters that are unique and engaging.
If you need a reader who is also fluent in Spanish, I am your guy! Excited to work with a bunch of creatives and make some art!
