Her method and process are both effective and efficient, while at the root helping actors work hard and achieve their goals with the least path of resistance. She has a nurturing and generous demeanor that can work for anyone. The Best Acting Coach for anyone aspiring to be working ON SET and make acting in film their profession.

Things People Are Saying About Kristy
The only trait more compelling than Kristina’s passion for the craft is her dedication to the actor. She worked tirelessly on and off set with the actors to shape solid performances from an enigmatic script and is the only acting coach I know who works more hours than I do in production! Kristina began the film with one actor, but by the end of the shoot her wisdom and support was sought after by them all. Her understanding of each aspect of film, from writing to production to direction, enables Kristina to push her clients and take a character off the paper and construct it for an audience, the camera, and the world that it was meant for. J.C. - 1st AD on Feature Film

I’m not interested in you being the best person in your acting class (that is not an achievement to broadcast, it actually means you are not growing), I’m interested in you getting paid to consistently act at an actual acting JOB!

I know it is scary to truly prepare to the best of your ability and face rejection, but if you only partially prepare your give yourself excuse as well a way to punish yourself later. The fact is, if you truly give it your all, it is much easier to walk away knowing that you did everything you could. So do it to the best of your ability and move on to the next job!

We had Kristy on location of my most recent production and I can't even begin to imagine that set without her energy. She knows exactly when to make herself heard and when to just let her presence be enough. I would highly recommend her and can't wait to work with her again. A.S.- Executive Producer of Feature Films

I was having a really hard time with life when I started taking your classes, and you really helped me regain confidence and helped me focus on my career and creativity, and I owe you a BIG HUGE GIGANTIC thank you, because without you and the people that I was surrounded with in your class, especially the showcase class, I wouldn't be back on the track that I am now. You are an amazingly talented human being, coach, teacher, guru, everything! R.S. –Actor
Things People Are Saying About Kristy
You have to work with the reality of where you are right now. You have to keep working to go to the next step. If, by some miracle you get to bypass steps, that is wonderful, but prepare yourself because you are going to have to work that much harder to maintain that new level.

Do you ever wonder why mediocre actors often work more than great actors? Mediocrity is fairly consistent and when it drops out, it just isn’t that noticeable. But when we see great actors and they drop out we are so disappointed because we have tasted what is possible. Now, I don’t recommend you dropping down to the level of a mediocre actor, but be fucking consistent in your greatness. Consistency equals longevity in your acting career.

You’re acting ability only counts for about one fifth of your acting career. There is a level of good enough acting that you need to reach in order to be bookable. Once you are past that point, it has a lot more to do with whether or not you’re working the business side of ‘show business.’ You must understand everything else that you need to be doing to make your acting career happen besides just good acting.

I am really thankful to have had Kristina Sexton ON SET, because she helped a lot to make this movie better. She is a great asset helping the director to get the best out of the actors, and I would love to have her on board in all my future productions. M.R. - Director of Feature Films
Things People Are Saying About Kristy
I had never been on set with an acting coach before. Now I think every set should have one. Not only was Kristina completely dedicated to her client, perceptive, never intrusive, always supportive, but she has a genuine love of the 'company' that helps bring all the actors together in a spirit of shared endeavor. J.B. – Actor (who has perhaps been working as a professional actor longer than Kristy has been alive)
