Creative Coaching/Consulting 

Acting | Directing | Career | Life 

Finding the way on your creative path

A driving force in my life and career is the desire to connect with others. One way to create these connections is through sharing knowledge. I’ve had the good fortune to learn from many amazing teachers, coaches, directors, and collaborators, as well as a range of experiences both onstage and behind the scenes. Now, it’s my turn to share the knowledge and skills I’ve acquired with a new generation of artists and creatives. 

Coaching isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice. Whether you’re a student auditioning for acting programs, a professional ready to dive deeper into acting techniques, or a creative who feels stuck in your chosen career, I’ll meet you where you are, and give you the tools and support you need so you can get where you want to go.

I look forward to hearing from you!

1:1 Sessions 

Career Coaching for Artists 

Picture
How you been feeling a bit lost or at a cross roads in your artistic career? In this one on one session we will discuss where you have been and where you would like to be in your career. Maybe you are unsure of even where you want to be. Through thoughtful discuss and active listening I'll help you find the right path, right now, for you. You will come away with resources and action steps moving forward. 

Monologue & Audition Coaching 

Picture
Do you need one-time help preparing a monologue or perfecting your audition skills? As an actor, I know how exciting (and challenging) preparing for an audition can be. As a director, I know what those who do the casting are seeking from performers. In this one-hour, one-on-one workshop, we’ll dig deep into your monologue or sides using text- and movement-based approaches and review audition best practices so you can go into your audition prepared, confident, and ready to nail it!

Goal Setting

Picture
Do you have an amazing project in mind, but don’t know where to start? Do your goals, while exciting, feel overwhelming? In this one hour, one-on-one session, we’ll use written exercises and discussions to clarify what you want, identify your priorities, and uncover what approach to productivity works best for you. You’ll leave with a plan breaking down your big idea into doable, bite-size steps so you can get it done.

Creative Life Coaching 

Unlike some careers, being a creator - whether you’re an actor, director, writer, dancer or another of the many types of artists out there - often has no set path. This can be scary and overwhelming. I know - I’ve been there. Which is why I want to empower you to develop the tools and knowledge you need to fulfill your creative promise and forge your own career path. ​

​"Carly is an excellent acting coach. She has provided valuable information about the entertainment industry from the very first lesson. She is patient, attentive, and non-judgemental. Each lesson, I walk away feeling I have progressed. She is clearly experienced as a director and educator, and I am especially impressed with her easy going but professional manner. She is helping me create on an acting reel for marketing purposes, and I am pleased with her detailed attention to the project. I am lucky to be working with her."

Not only did she reformat it, making it easy for me to add credits and edit as needed, but her ample experience as a theatre artist gave me confidence in the input and advice she provided. Her work was done in a timely fashion and for an extremely reasonable price. I highly recommend Carly's services for anyone who needs assistance in getting their resumes into tip top shape."
