sample testimonials from several of Mimi's colleagues
​
I found Mimi to be inspiring--both dedicated and efficient in getting the job done. Hiring her as the director of our animated series NORMAN NORMAL sped up the project and delivered higher quality overall.
She was even able to suggest edits on the scripts that vastly improved them because she's a great writer with a good sense of humour.
Personally, I loved working with her and learned so much from her.
She is a divine muse and has a wealth of insights, experiences, and skills to bring finesse to any creative project.
Mimi is not only musical but poetic, not only a leader but a team player.

“I received a commission to write O.F.I.D.’s first children’s book, One Planet Earth One People, and when I’d finished, I contracted Mimi to do the copy edit. (O.F.I.D. is an organization dedicated to eradicating global poverty.) Mimi did a splendid job very quickly.
I had met her in the late 90s when I hired her to direct the voice recordings for one of my films. She did a spectacular job casting and directing the recordings.
Mimi is a reliable, creative and highly skilled professional with real expertise in several areas of Performing Arts and Writing. She put herself fully in service to my vision and was fun to work with.
I’m delighted to recommend her to you as an editor, voice director, colleague and friend."

Mimi is not only a Renaissance woman but also a very evolved human being. Time spent with her is always fun, full of laughter and inspiring, filled with inquiry and wonderment on the mysteries of love, life, and the universe. Her readinga
for me was done with the utmost loving-kindness and generosity of spirit. Mimi is a vessel of healing energy and a transformative spirit-guide who will help you realise your highest potential. It is rare to find all her qualities in one person.

Last year Mimi gave me a Tarot reading and it turned out to be "spot on" (including predictions)
and so much fun. She is lovely and a very gifted intuitive... I highly recommend treating yourself and your loved ones to a session with the divine Mimi.

Thanks for talking with me yesterday, Mimi! For anyone reading this who is thinking of talking to Mimi, please know that she is amazingly insightful, highly knowledgeable, and deeply empathic. She brings a style that one can only learn with years of experienced and study in the Arts, as well as humanity. Highly recommended!

To say that Mimi is gifted is an understatement! She has the capacity to see and express the wisdom and coherence that exists in our unique 'lines of destiny' and she is able to reveal what we've known to be true and right for us but lost sight of. Her gift is more than just a clear mirror in which we see our full potential; Mimi also intuits how to encourage and support our willingness to do what it takes to shift our lives toward our own fulfillment and happiness.

Mimi is a rare gem in the psychic arena. Not only is she extremely intuitive but she is incredibly accurate. Mimi assisted in guiding me to a state of clarity. The fog of uncertainty lifted and my path lit up like a landing strip for a 747!

Mimi is a warm, kind, gifted psychic. One of her first comments was a razor sharp insight that provided inspiration and indicated to me that she’s the “real deal.” She had no prior information to know how this was so on target. She also provided guidance about self-care that was particular to me, as well as steps to strengthen my relationship to a higher being, which also was welcome, needed and comforting. I didn’t want our hour to end.

I reached out to Mimi when I needed some guidance and direction, I’ve spoken to many tarot readers and psychics and Mimi was the first one who truly ‘got' who I was without having any knowledge of me (not even my DOB) or my current situation. I went away from our session feeling uplifted, having an action plan of steps I can take to help my current situation, and of course being blown away by the accuracy in which she knew things. I can’t wait for my next reading with her!
Nikki Samiee. Business Manager Walnut Creek, CA
​
Mimi is absolutely amazing! In the first few minutes of the reading she identified my core issue. Her advice helped me to develop a personal strategy of transformation, real tools that I can use to identify and reach my short and long-term goals.

Mimi is a truly gifted and insightful person. Her perception goes way beyond what a regular person can see.

Mimi is a rare gem in the psychic arena. Not only is she EXTREMELY 2direction of my life in a fulfilling and beautiful way."
TIM CHITTENDOM, Healer, Santa Fe, NM
Mimi is so spiritually gifted; she is one of the old souls in our world and the reading she gave me was impressively accurate. She also saw my grandmother and described her perfectly which was very moving. She's not just a psychic ~ she's a spiritual teacher and gives the best guidance possible.
KARY SIT Recording Artist and producer, L.A. & Japan
When Mimi said I was going to be happily remarried within a year, I was skeptical. I wasn't even dating anyone at the time of my reading. But then I went to a reunion in Washington state and reconnected with the girl (now all grown up) who I had a crush on as a boy! We are now blissfully married! Thanks, Mimi!
MATTHEW GONDER Singer at Maxim's, actor / composer, Paris, France
Mimi Seton is a mega-talent writer-composer-teacher ~ and her work as a psychic is no exception. I was amazed at her ability to synthesize all the information and produce a clear, deep analysis of the area in which i was seeking more clarity.”
JENNIFER SETTEN Community Development Coordinator, New Britain Youth Museum
I had an excellent experience with Mimi. She has a natural gift for channeling and all the information she shared with me came to pass.”
KEVIN LOFARO Musician and Sound Engineer, New York City
Mimi's reading was revelatory! She was very patient, explaining the meaning and power of each of the cards that I drew. I thank Mimi for making it possible for me to create a usable action plan going forward.”

​
I had a wonderful experience with Mimi. She did a Reading for me last weekend, and it was just what the doctor ordered! Mimi is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but she is kind, patient, empathetic and professional. She is also funny and fun, and very generous - of not only herself, but her time and energy. I felt she was truly listening, and that her intent was for the best for me. I felt I could be completely honest with her, and she really made me laugh. I felt safe, heard and cared for. Mimi helped me work through some issues that have been perplexing me for some time. I felt like she went over and beyond, and I am really grateful for her work with me. We covered many important life issues, and I left my session feeling so much better. I am looking forward to going back. I could not recommend her more highly.

“Mimi Seton is a composer of prodigious, melancholy talents.”
LA WEEKLY
“Seton is a new music-theatre visionary.”
LA WEEKLY
“In the style of the recent Sondheim, this music is as glorious as any songs ever written.”
DRAMA-LOGUE
“Mimi Seton’s new work defies easy classification . . . Imagine Meredith Monk, Leonard Bernstein and Samuel Beckett collaborating on a project.”
LA WEEKLY
“Seton’s sounds are eclectic: some pulse music here, something reminiscent of Aaron Copeland’s choral works there, one number a jazzy scat, another with a Latin beat.”
LOS ANGELES TIMES
“Mimi Seton’s new theatre concert, Wazo Wazo, is an enchanting experience whose language is genuinely universal.”
LOS ANGELES TIMES
“This is one of the most imaginative, powerful, and entertaining productions of The Trojan Women that we are likely to see in our lifetime, with delightfully original and sophisticated music and lyrics adapted from the Jean-Paul Sartre translation by Mimi Seton.”
DRAMA-LOGUE
​
I had a good time at Mimi Seton’s See Below Middle Sea at the Mark Taper Forum’s Taper,Too. We are visiting the ocean’s floor in imagination, much as we visited the underworld of Hieronymous Bosch in Martha Clarke’s The Garden of Earthly Delights…it is a charming conceit.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
If the Gershwin brothers represent the best of the Broadway musical tradition,
composer-lyricist, Mimi Seton prepares us for the future with her show, BLUE CORRIDOR. These songs are as sensitive, powerful and persuasive as any ever written.
DRAMA-LOGUE
With Blue Corridor, Mimi Seton has created an avant-garde masterpiece.
KLON Radio, Los Angeles
What a wonderful, original piece! Brain Hotel defies description! It’s a cascade of words and rhythms…an existential jam session.
LA WEEKLY Pick of the Week
Once in a bright blue moon a theatre piece emerges that is truly original. Just such a piece is Brain Hotel and it succeeds with the ease of a Nijinsky leap.
DRAMA-LOGUE
Brain Hotel is a dazzling demonstration of ensemble technique and rhythmic work, dizzying in its vocal counterpoint and harmony.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Wazo Wazo, brilliantly conceived and composed by Mimi Seton, swings through the center of the human soul with the eerie grace of a spider spinning.
LA WEEKLY Pick of the Week
The look and temper of School Talk is somewhere between Fame and
A Chorus Line. The up-to-the-minute rock score was composed by Jeff Hull, with the addition of Mimi Seton’s powerful song, “My Own Way”.
DRAMA-LOGUE
Seton is to the writing of songs what Martha Clarke is to dance.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
Just when we thought we had seen everything, we discover in Mimi Seton’s Blue Corridor that there is still a great deal of originality possible in musical theatre.”
DRAMA-LOGUE
This week, Meredith Monk and Mimi Seton explored the voice as an instrument…Seton’s harmonies are stunning, filling your ear with wave and wave of beautifully orchestrated vocals.
BRUIN REVIEW, Los Angeles
Mimi Seton may be the musical woman of my dreams.
CLEVE HERMAN, Veteran Los Angeles radio critic
Watching Mimi’s students lay it on the line is far better than American Idol.. This is the Real Thing.
BILL RATNER, ABC TV announcer
Mimi is an amazing person who teaches from her heart and soul. She encourages
creative risk-taking in an emotionally safe and supportive environment. She is a true healer and everyone’s work improves under her tutelage thanks to her huge knowledge of performance techniques, her ability to inspire free expression, her respect for developing skill and her loving support.
DAVID RAPAPORT, Kroeger Rapaport Casting, Los Angeles
Mimi uses her knowledge of music, voice production and psychology to help you get to the heart and soul of the song. She is a truly GREAT performance coach!

Watching Mimi Seton’s students perform blew me away! Far better than any school show I’ve seen before, this was simply a great night in the Theatre—fun, professional and stylish

Working with Mimi as a performance coach is a magical process that brings the singer closer to his soul and as a result, deeper into the music.
MATTHEW GONDER, principle singer at Pierre Cardin’s club, MAXIM’S, Paris
​
Mimi taught in our department for three years and got great student feedback every time out, so I decided to take her course. She taught me so much about performing! About dropping pretense, keeping things real, letting go of worry and bringing my full self to the moment. Her class has completely changed me! Thank you, Mimi!
CHRISTINA DAVIS, UCLA Extension Dept of Entertainment
Mimi taught me how to analyze a lyric in relationship to the composer’s musical choices; how to play the subtext in the lyric – what’s going on under the words; how to make choices that are surprising so the audience is never bored and we are more in alignment with how people really behave (irrationally!); and how to sing directly from the heart, rather than imitating a sound I heard in my head.
ANN LE SHANDER, Singer, Los Angeles &. New York
​
Watching Mimi work with students in Mark Taper Forum’s educational program taught me my first lessons about what it takes to be a great teacher. She has a million creative ideas to bring out the best in students, and notices each person as an individual. She is highly intuitive and inspiring!
MICHAEL ARABIAN, LA Acting teacher and director
Mimi has transformed my life. I started with her last year in 2004 at UCLA as someone who wanted to sing but was shy and awkward. Now I am sitting in at clubs with top musicians, expressing myself fully and living my dream. '
LINDA YOUNT, retired teacher, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
I was a waitress when I met Mimi in New York, but after her coaching, I got accepted at one of the top two drama schools in Dublin, Ireland. I still can’t believe it sometimes!
MAURA DUFFY, Actress, Dublin
Mimi Seton is one of the best combinations I’ve ever known of artistic talent and loving kindness. I studied with her between 2005 – 7 and did amazing psychological work as her student. She loves to create groups with people from various cultures and her classes had students from all over the world. This taught us a lot about how culture forms our beliefs and behavior.
FLAVIA FAUSTINI, Singer, Brazil, Mexico, L.A.
​
Until I studied with Mimi, I never knew I had the powerful voice I sing with now. This is amazing and it is Mimi who brought it out of me. ANDREA HART, singer, Los Angeles
​
Mimi always uses some new tool so I am never bored in her class. She integrates movement exercises from Chi Gong, chanting from Nada Yoga, breath exercises from Yoga…and a thousand other things. Hers is a very healthy way to work on your voice, both psychologically and physically.
NAO DUBASHI, Singer and actress, Japan
​
​
There’s a new American voice actor and director in town, Mimi Seton, who is cast across from me regularly these days. The audio engineers all agree with me: this is a lady who really knows her stuff – and she’s making a great living at it, too! Top flight skills and a very enjoyable lady to work with.
JONATHAN RYAN, Voice Actor, Dublin
​
Mimi is the female Bill Trieste of audio narrating. She can take a dumb text and make it sound intelligent!
Bill Ratner, voice actor, L.A.
​
Mimi Seton directed the voice recordings for my film, The Courage To Create, produced for RTE Television in Dublin. (She received the equivalent of 1000 Euros for the job). It was an absolute joy to watch her work. She tweaked the text to make it flow better, and knew just what to say to get the best out of the actors.
AINNE BURKE, Painter & Filmmaker, Dublin
​
I loved being directed by Mimi Seton on the cartoon series, NORMAN NORMAL back in the late 90s (produced by Magma Films Galway). She’s a very kind person, but also an expert in the field of voice recording. She knows how to improve texts as a writer and gives directions that pull great performances out of actors. NORMAN NORMAL ran for years.
DANA DAVIS, Singer and Actor, Dublin
​
In 2015, Mimi copy-edited my book, “I Married a Munster”, about my life with the star of TV’s, The Munsters, Al Lewis. I gave the book to six writer-friends and Mimi found ten times more errors than any of the others! I call her The Grammar Queen!
KAREN INGENTHRON LEWIS, Actress & Author
“I would like to certify that Mimi Seton has been trained in the science of NADA YOGA the art of sound as it is named in India. The teaching she received (2009 – 11) covered the practice of Raga with the different vocal techniques we apply on intervals; a study of mantra; and devotional chants. The philosophical knowledge of Yogic principles was discussed and put into practice. Her capacity to synthesize and render the practice was astonishing and may lead her to teach what she received.”
SRI HANUMAN, Nada Yoga master, Nice, France
The remarkable Ms. Seton plays the emcee of this apocalyptic nightclub with fantastic animal grace and skill, speaking English, French and German with apparent ease.
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
​
Nancy Lenehan and Mimi Seton are simply splendid as the Pigeon sisters in Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, which is touring the country from Los Angeles. Thoroughly adorable in movement and manner, they steal the show from Sherman Hemsley (star of TV’s The Jeffersons.
HOUSTON CHRONICLE
​
Mimi Seton’s Yvette from Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage is simply stunning.
DAILY CALIFORNIAN
​
The highlight of Epic West’s Messingkauf Dialogues is in Act II, The Galileo Ballad, beautifully belted by Mimi Seton.
DAILY CALIFORNIAN
Mimi Seton as the suicidal Erin in Susan Griffin’s Voices performed the impossible. Her humor was ironic rather than glib and her character’s pain was felt rather than considered.
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
​
AD HOC ROC is one of the most original bands I’ve ever heard, boasting exciting tandem singing by Shelley Hirsch
and Mimi Seton.
SOHO WEEKLY, NYC
​
I saw Uta Hagen play Lady MacBeth and it was a marvel. Then I saw Mimi Seton and she was even better! No kidding. A truly sensual interpretation, not unlike Francesca Annis in Polansky’s 1971 film version.
