Sorry to be writing such a late reply to the comment you left on my page, as you can imagine, graduating this month had made me very busy but an enjoyable time too. I am moving back to Cardiff late September and would love for you to look at my audition speeches. I am also interested in attending a few of your classes. As I am not sure of an exact date yet, would it be ok to contact you closer to the time and hopefully arrange a meeting? Many thanks!
Thanks Julie, that would be great, much appreciated
And you too. xx
