SKILLS
Testimonials
She is an actress with positive energy and a sense of humor.
During rehearsals, there are always difficulties.
However, she always faced them with a positive spirit. Whenever she encountered any difficulty, she always tried to deal with it positively.
This attitude is a powerful driving force to break through the stagnant atmosphere in the creative scene.
With her natural humor, she also provided us with constant laughter during the rehearsals.
Just by being in the rehearsal room, she created a cheerful atmosphere and was a light that illuminated our way....For these reasons, I trust Yiky as a wonderful actress.
I would like to create with her again if the opportunity arises.
- Daisuke Sagawa, Founder & Director of Theatre Moments
Yiky is a dedicated artist where she gives her best in preparing her roles. She goes the extra mile not just in memorizing her roles but also gives input on how the lines on script and character development can be better. Her skilled performance and exemplary work ethic habit that makes her a rare gem. It's a joy working with her.
- Paul Gan, Award Winning Filmmaker & Founder of Tiny Rex Film
Yiky is very careful in selecting the projects she wants to get involved in. She does not just take up any offer. She asks questions. She does research. She thinks things through. Once she says yes, you can be sure she is 100% committed. She'll go extra miles to get things done. She'll volunteer to help out in every aspect. She'll take criticism with humility. Highly responsible and reliable. A rarity among local actors.
