"Cathryn Sullivan is one of the top acting coaches in the nation," said a renowned casting director who casts for popular Disney & Netflix shows, to a group attending an acting class seminar who wanted to know how to help their children and teens reach their dreams. "Learn from her!" he said.
Acting skills need to be learned in a way that is challenging without being overwhelming.
It needs to be fun, but also educational.
We can do that and have done it many, many times at our Studio.
Everyone on our HALL OF FAME went through this program and all became masters for some time (except one).
Many students come back to the studio and give back to the place many call their second home after being on sets. (Mallory Mahoney, Jaren Lewison, Hayley Orrantio, Demi Lovato,
Cody Linley, Logan Henderson & Thomas Mann are just a few who have come back to talk to current students).
Some students who are not on the hall of fame have become Talent Agents/
Talent Managers/Writers/Filmmakers. Several have become anchors/reporters.
One student is the CEO of a big P.R. company for celebrities in Hollywood.
We produce results here at our studio!
Passionately,
Cathryn Sullivan
