Director Sarah Coleman's comments about Leonard
Leonard co-starred in the debut of Hygenic Theaterwerk's production of Michael R. Maguire's Heartbreaker, which I recently directed at the Eugene O' Neill Theater Center in Waterford, Connecticut. I was absolutely blown away by Leonard's dedication, intelligence, and incredible skill as a performer. From the moment he walked in for his audition, I knew I was in the presence of a truly great actor who could easily be compared to many known actors. Heartbreaker, loosely inspired by the Duke lacrosse scandal is an immensely challenging work and Leonard's portrayal of Maxwell Freeman, special investigator to the district attorney, wasn't for the faint of heart. Leonard met the challenge with unwavering focus, courage, and sensitivity, earning him a standing ovation every night of the run. Leonard's professionalism and spirit also make him an immense pleasure to work with. Throughout the creative process, he was a consistently gracious and giving co-creator, never forgetiing that theater is an ensemble art. He earned the respect of his fellow actors and they trusted him implicitly. He is a director's dream-come-true actor. I am confident that Leonard will be considered a beloved and revered addition to any production. I also have no doubt that he will make lasting and award-winning contributions to the acting world at large.
During the conversion of my "Take Brave Steps for Stroke Survivors and Families - A Message of Motivation and Hope" book to audio CD and MP 3 format, Spoken Books Publishing provided me with voice samples of several narrators for my project from which to choose. Both my wife and I listened carefully several times and we are very happy that we chose the voice talent of Leonard Dozier. He did an outstanding job of interpreting and delivering the emotional aspects of the printed version as well as interpreting and representing the voices of my wife and daughter's role in the family and caregiver chapter. I would recommend Leonard's talents to anyone that is considering a project that requires a professional narrator.
