"Ashley is a fantastic teacher and one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. I used to be extremely shy, with a tiny little voice, and she worked wonders for my confidence both as a singer and as a person. I credit her with giving me the skills and discipline to go on and get a job teaching musical theatre, to study full time at The BRIT School and then on to the American Musical Theatre Academy, London. She is also an extremely talented performer in her own right. Thanks for everything, Ashley!" Vikki McAuley
