Krista Woods, March 2010
Carolyne’s class is great! You learn so much about commercial technique and how to have a leg up on your competition. The technique she teaches can also be used for theatrical auditions as well. Her commercial casting director class is also well worth it. I met a CD I and was called infor an audition. ended up booking the spot!
Josephine Gorchoff, February 2010
YOU are what’s up! I worship you.
David Wilson, July 2009
I always think of you and want to thank you for my amazing start in the “commercial biz.” I draw upon what I learned in your class for every audition. I am able to go in, prepared, professional and most importantly…having fun!
Wendel Duppert, June 2009
Your technique has been invaluable. Every time I use your technique, I am almost certain to get a callback, many “holds” and a number of actual bookings.

“Being in your class has taught me so many valuable tools and tricks and has also strengthened my confidence and endurance.”

Mary Wickliffe, April 2009
When I started using Carolyne’s techniques, I started to get called back like crazy. It’s practical knowledge that helps separate you as a professional and make you a better actor overall. Carolyne helped me get in touch with my instinct – and use it wisely

Never stop doing what you are doing, you are fantastic and aid countless actors on their journey in this business.
Jameelah Nuriddin, January 2009
Scotty is an incredible and talented improv instructor. He made me really reach for that enigmatic “out of my head” experience. Josh is incredible! When I get work in this industry I would turn over whatever I earned to have Josh come on set with me and help me get it right.
Jack Lewis, December 2008
I am thankful to have studied with you. There isn’t an actor I meet who I don’t throw out
your name when it comes to commercials. I know several friends have taken your classes, not just through my urging, but many others.

Yvonne Fisher, September 2003
“I am moved to write this note to you having just booked a national commercial and thereby again being reminded of how important you have been to getting me back in the race.
I was lucky that my agent recommended I come to you for what, in my mind, was just to be a ‘brush-up.’ Well, my presumptive arrogance (thinking I already knew everything) was quickly replaced by awe and respect for the information and methods you and your team of instructors had to offer. Your tutelage and guidance have been individually tailored, personal and genuine. With as many students as I know you have to keep track of, you always knew exactly where I was, what I needed work on and what I was doing right.
I have been impressed at how well prepared I have become under your care, and at how few surprises there have been along the way even from the surprises (everyone should take the improv classes – they’re a MUST!!!).
You have given me very powerful knowledge, tools and habits that I feel allow me to function within the top percentile of the ‘numbers game.’ You are a master at showing actors where the wind and the sails are and how to properly rig and steer. With that has come the confidence to take the wheel and go for it.”
Guy Williams, Jr., August 2003

Sergio Duran, May 2002
“I marched in today to audition for a theatrical agent. She promptly said ‘all my clients are series regulars.’ To which I replied, ‘well, I’ll be a series regular.’ So, she throws this script at me and I have five minutes to prep. I pretended I was in class and did what Eric taught me. So I do it, nailed it…and she tells me that I beat out some schmo who just came in there with theatrical credits up the arse. She said whatever I’m doing, I’m ready .”
