Testimonials
"Cara's work with the actors on local dialect was a great resource on Trial By Fire. She had the confidence, compassion, and training to help our A-list cast feel comfortable and confident in their performances. While focusing on immersion and oral placement she was always listening and available to assist with the needed modifications. Cara was a wonderful addition to the production team -- knowledgeable and great to work with. I highly recommend her."

"Cara's expertise is beyond teaching simple vocal coaching and accents. She is superb at understanding the unique nuances in speech to help actors understand how to communicate on camera. Ultimately, this helps actors not only understand the craft, but themselves. She is that very necessary resource most actors don't know they need, but quickly find out how much they do--and they are always grateful for the opportunity. She always leaves actors better than she found them." -Angela Davis, Actress (TV, Film, VO) and Acting Coach at the Professional Actors Studio
"Cara's coaching/teaching style is extremely structured, disciplined, and perfect for students that need the best pedagogy, to learn new dialects, accents and vocal techniques." -Mitch R., private student
"Cara is an amazing, kind, and talented instructor who knows how to teach in a "one size does NOT fit all" approach. She has a gift of truly "seeing" where each student is on his/her journey and offering the student what is needed for growth. Cara is also a bundle of sunshine who loves and cares about the craft and her students." -Mona Amein, Inner Voice student at Get Scene Studios
