Cinderella Ksebati
Director and Coach
Cinderella believes the college audition journey should be exciting, empowering, and deeply personal. As an internationally recognized soprano, national adjudicator, mentor, and arts entrepreneur, she brings firsthand experience from both the stage and the business of building a sustainable career in the arts.
Her College Prep work goes beyond audition packaging. She mentors each student as an individual artist—helping them identify programs that align with their goals, develop authentic and competitive audition materials, navigate the admissions process with confidence, and build the professional and business skills needed for long-term success.
The goal is not simply college admission, but preparing young artists to enter their next chapter with a strong sense of who they are, what they bring to the industry, and how to build a lasting career.
