About
Carolyn Stotesbery is a professional working actor who has worked on hit tv shows like Castle with Nathan Fillion and with actors like Eric Dane from Euphoria.
As an industry insider and renowned coach for over 15 years, Carolyn trains actor from booking the audition all the way to the killing it on the red carpet.
Carolyn supports and guides actors away from unhealthy habits towards empowered self-sufficiency and creative mastery In a nurturing and safe environment.
In Carolyn’s group classes, each actor gets custom tailored attention just like in one on one sessions, but they also get the added benefit of learning from what other actors are learning and in this way they can often times grow faster. Sometimes it's easier for people to learn the lessons from watching others learn and grow, just in the same way, we learn for seeing others learn and grow in life.
Human beings don't exist solely in a vacuum, and a group environment hones one's professionalism for being on set with other people who are in varying levels of their career and work.

How did you get started teaching?
PRIVATE ACTING COACHING BACKGROUND
Having studied with a dozen of the “top” acting teachers in Los Angeles . I've seen it all, and I know what works and what doesn’t. No one wants to their waste time.
After searching for the best acting coach, I finally worked privately for 10 years with a teacher who had the answers I had been looking for and taught me how to actually develop myself and deliver the goods.
Then one day my mentor asked if I would I teach private acting coaching, so of course, I jumped at the opportunity. I taught for over a year and now have decided to continue giving actors the tools that will help free them and make their work fun, exciting, and most of all empowering instead of a painful confusing nightmare.
