I write concerning the work of Kelsie McDonald, an actress and presenter whom I recently had the pleasure to work with. She presented a series of web videos that introduced and explained work placements in GP Super Clinics (a new Government health initiative) to students studying Health Sciences. Her warm, personable and professional presentation of the video played a crucial role in having the project selected as one of 3 finalists in the Queensland Workforce Innovation Awards.
If you are considering her for a role or presentation, I found it hard to fault her performance throughout the shoot. She was both fresh and consistent for the entire 12 hours of recording, a unique gift as we were time pressured with locations. She made sure she prepared during crew set up so that we only required a maximum of 4 takes for any one shot, which was both a huge time saver and a great reflection of her professional approach. The client has also commented very positively on her performance and have requested her for future videos if required.
In short, she is a highly competent and skilled young woman and I recommend her to any considering her.
If you have any further questions or queries relating to Keslie and her work, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,
Cameron Cliff
