Christine Howey, playwright, performer, and theater critic

“Benjamin Czarnota helped me prepare for my 80-minute spoken word one-person show, Exact Change, by guiding me through a number of exercises to strengthen my breath control as well as improving and retaining the vitality of my voice throughout this demanding performance.  His patient approach and attention to detail were invaluable as these exercises and tips gave me added confidence about performing my essentially non-stop stream of spoken words.  Looking back, I’m not sure I could have kept my voice as strong as it was through the opening three-week run of my show at Cleveland Public Theatre without his help.”
