Applause from our Stars

  • Carly's openness and dedication has always made me feel confident, allowing me to take risks in my work as an actor. I admire her process immensely and recommend working with her if you are so lucky.

    - Hannah Krostewitz, Actor/Producer “Supression,” Hollyfield Productions

  • "Carly has a way of supporting you to get to your heart’s deeper desire, while reminding you to have some freaking fun! Carly directed me in her one-woman show, and helped me move from a place of reservation to surrender. She seeks abandon in her art, and it spreads like wildfire. The intuitive direction she gives is clear and powerful. I highly recommend working with Carly, at whatever stage you are at in your career, to relight that artist flame and fall deeper.”

    - Kelsey Rideout, Actress, “Dirty Love”

  • “Carly’s extensive training and experience will transcend your performance! Keen, professional, attentive, constructive, uplifting and as skillful as she is kind. You’ll gain the confidence you need to slay your self tape and prepare after you book!”

    - Anthony Ecclissi, Actor,"Blue Mountain State," “Sucks to be Us”

  • "Needed a last-minute self-tape and Carly at Born to Act Studios was a lifesaver. Professional, insightful, and effective - highly recommend her!"

    - Victoria Maria, Tapestry Acting Studio Toronto, Midnight at the Magnolia, Placebo, A Storybook Christmas, See No Evil

  • "Carly's class is not for the faint of heart and you will be pushed to go places you haven't yet explored, but you will be nurtured and supported along the way. In the safest of spaces, you will hone your craft."

    - Dr. Lyndsey J. Wong, Wild Goat Surf, Puppylove, Been There All Along

  • Carly is authentic. She helps you find what is true for you as a performer, so you don't have to fake it. It's the most fun way to perform. I have worked with Cirque du Soleil for over 20 years. I have had the pleasure of studying with many coaches around the world. Carly is one of my favorite coaches.

    - Alvin Tam, Cirque Du Soleil Performer, The Day After Tomorrow, Shadow Circus
