You are such a kind and insightful workshop leader. I just know your students go home inspired, no matter what their level of skill. And I'm constantly floored by your amazing memory! I see it as another facet of your generosity, that you remember people's names so well. That's especially important when you're coaching people who are feeling vulnerable, performing for a band of strangers.

Words From the Wise

I took voiceover classes from CJ in 2020 and 2021 and they were like an oasis in a desert. She created such an incredible sense of community and safety to try something new. Trying voiceover was not something I had considered before, and I had a blast.

I'm actually working with a romance author and doing her audiobook series - I absolutely loved your class and was so happy I was able to make all of them. I'm already using some of your techniques on accents for the current book I'm working on.

Her classes are not only very informative, but also fun! Many times, she helped me with my scripts for auditions and bookings. Thanks to Cj, I’ve booked my very first SAG hosting gig in English! I recommend Cj all the time to anyone who’s looking to improve their narrative skills, accent, or their script preparation.

CJ gets down to business and is very detailed in her coaching, not letting things slide, and therefore gives me a lot of confidence in preparing for auditions and projects. She is also very funny, so even as she’s demanding, she keeps me laughing. I appreciate her knowledge, experience as a performer and writer, and the incredible example she sets with her versatile voice and pithy interpretations. She’s five out of five stars!

Nancy BartkeActress-Singer

There are a lot of things to say about CJ - Consummate professional? Absolutely. Talented to her DNA…omg yaaassss…Gifted? Warm? Engaging? All those things in spades and I have had the distinct pleasure of being pushed to be my best and encouraged to get out of my own way and let my voice be heard. When someone asks me how I “started” my story ALWAYS begins with CJ and her classes.
