What The Industry Is Saying About Toni Deaver…
John Fornof : Writer – Director – Producer, Los Angeles, CA
“Toni is one of the most talented actresses I’ve had the pleasure of working with. As a director, I appreciate her skill to make adjustments quickly and smoothly. Toni is a joy to work with – – she knows her stuff. She commands an amazing array of characters, and directly handles everything from drama to comedy, which takes a special talent and timing all its own. I strongly recommend her. “
Matt Way: Executive CEO, Intermountain Film Classics
I have known Toni since 2004.
I was bobbling around doing cameos in short films and some features. I was standing there on set one time listening to the director and nodding my head yes while understanding nothing he said…. Toni whispered “I’ll translate that for you“ and immediately it all made sense and we pulled off a great scene!
I have known Toni since 2004.
Now I am own a 71 acre 35 mm motion picture studio and hope to discover the real cinematic skills of actors and actresses that possess anywhere near Toni’s ability. I recommend her as an onset coach as well as an instructor… I feel her specific style has yet to be determined for her to niche into her perfect roles, yet I’ve cast her in many that I felt were good and she came alive every time.
