“Carl possesses a rare talent. I’ve seen the shift that he has wrought in an actor. It’s fundamental; a gear change into the kind of nuanced, subtle work that brings out the full personality and resources of the actor – and books work. I recommend his classes unreservedly.”
“Carl’s mind is an exciting playground for artistry. As an actor, I’ve been wanting to find more authenticity, joy, and instinct in my work. With unique and fresh approaches, not only does he facilitate that in my acting but also in my life. Life imitates art, isn’t that how it goes?
Carl’s empathy, intelligence, and humour knows no bounds.
It’s a real privilege to be directed by someone at Carl’s calibre time after time; and he’s only going up!
Thank you for your continued guidance and making acting joyful and exciting. I look forward to many more opportunities to collaborate.”

“Like any actor, I have always strived to approach roles from a place of honesty, but working under Carl’s direction really captivated my spirit. Through renewed techniques within improvised and scripted scenarios, Carl taught me how to connect more emotionally and within a very short space of time. Now that I understand the power of that connection, my performances have become much more about ‘being present’ than simply reciting words from a manuscript. Thanks Carl, I greatly look forward to working with you again.”
