My daughter Mia-Cecilia took park in Project Performer National Online Competition in 2020 and Project Performer 2021. In 2020 she was awarded the Winner – Judges Overall Favourite and one of the prizes was a discount for the 2021 Programme which we were thrilled to be a part of. Mia-Cecilia started very early in 2021 to prepare for Project Performer. She entered 8 different items (singing, dancing & acting) and this required hard work, dedication, discipline and determination. These would be the attributes she takes away from this experience. The Workshops were informative and we learned a lot of what is required in the industry. Mia-Cecilia definitely enjoyed the days of recording in Durban the most. She finally had the opportunity to perform and in such a professional environment. The Judges were what initially drew us to the competition, they are all professionals in the industry and what a privilege to be adjudicated by them. We would like to thank Shylo and all the Project Performer coaches for this wonderful experience and also for the recognition and wonderful prizes Mia-Cecilia received in 2021.

Shylo Pereira was my vocal coach since 2016 - 2019, and what a blessing she has been. She is an incredible talent with a passion for educating up and coming talent. Shylo never thinks twice to sacrifice her time to share her wisdom and guidance with others. My experience, thus far, with Project Performer has been nothing short of incredible, there is truly nothing like the support of the performing arts community. I so look forward to being involved this year, developing my skills, forming networks and feeding my passion for performance.

It has been such an invaluable and amazing experience so far, being part of the Project Performer Programme of 2021.
The coaches, through each group and individual workshop, have enlightened me through their knowledge and personal experiences in the industry and as a performer.
The topics explored and discussed in each workshop have taught and enriched my performing arts brain.
It has been such a honour and eye-opening experience, working with Samantha Landers and Meg Logan, during our one-on-one sessions. They have each broken down personal performance barriers in the respective categories, and work with me to better develop the performances. Thank you to Shylo Pereira for these amazing opportunities!
