MORE ALUMNI SUCCESSES

ELISE FALANGA "Just booked and shot a co-star role on a hit AMC show. What a dream to be working with such great actors. Caryn's class prepared me for my co-star audition, as well as being prepared for the day of shooting and working opposite an award-winning actor. For my audition, I was dressed in character and had established a beginning, middle and end. Caryn's class has prepared me to give life to these characters, and to understand what my role is in making that happen for the hero in the scene. On the week of my shoot, after I received my sides, I noticed I had 6 lines and I'd be in the scene the entire time. I was so grateful to have coached with Caryn privately and in her classroom so I felt at ease! " cw: whoohoo!!!!

PIP NEWSON

"Caryn encouraged me to jump back into class at a point where I had decided to step away from the business. The renewed energy and support prompted me to refocus and I got 2 great agency meetings in August, signed with both the same day of the meetings and booked a job less than 2 weeks later. Having class support has been invaluable."

( cw: Pip told me she set the new agent goals on our first class and thrilled she made it all happen! )

COACHING and SELF TAPE with CARYN

JOHN ROTHMAN ( NYC Alumni / Coaching) "I've worked with Caryn many times in my long career- and always found her a perceptive coach, a dynamite teacher and a true acting partner. I took her audition class in New York when I got out of a Yale Drama School that provided no clues to the audition process. Caryn's class gave me invaluable insights in the art of auditioning and her approach was always deeply connected to the art of acting. She has helped me navigate the ever changing world of TV- which she understands far better than I do. Her help with the challenges of self taping , technical and artistic, is consistently above and beyond expectations. I believe working with Caryn has absolutely upped my game. "

Online Coaching : via Zoom, Skype, Facetime, WeAudition.com. On request, we can Zoom tape, edit & upload (Caryn's has some "secret sauce" touches that have been very effective and make your tapes shine over others' )

Coaching/Self-Taping is back in the 425 sq ft studio

Caryn is now double vaccinated and will tape if you have gotten a rapid test result the day before and mask until we tape.
