So many nuggets of advice during the free talk with legendary casting director Lisa London. I lost count! Sonya thinks outside of the box, and it shows in her programming. Never the same old same -old. Thank you CAS, fantastic lead -in to the holiday season.

I'm incredibly thankful that my friend shared the link to "Creative Acting Studios" with me. Upon discovering it, I immediately dove in. Sonya, the founder, is an absolute gem. Her warmth and guidance have fostered an exceptional environment for actors to flourish and expand their craft. Participating in a workshop led by Lisa Zambetti was an invaluable experience. Her profound insights into the industry and her exceptional skills as a reader truly allowed me to immerse myself and feel completely at ease. Im excited to continue working with "Creative acting studios" and can't wait for my next workshop!

I was so happy to participate in the discussion with the amazing casting director Lisa London, moderated by Sonya Macari at CAS. I learned what casting directors look for and how to stand out. Lisa is so friendly and passionate about helping actors grow their careers. Sonya was an excellent moderator. She drew on her own experience as an actor and asked questions that were super helpful to actors! I recommend actors to keep an eye out for more to come with CAS.

“I attended the Marketing Seminar with Jason Buyer some days ago and really appreciated his insights from a casting perspective. He was very generous and patient in sharing his point of view and longtime experience in the business and in answering all our questions. It was eye-opening and I definitely recommend this seminar and CAS. Thank you Jason and Sonya for your time and organizing this seminar.”

"I firmly believe that every choice we make leads us to exactly where we are meant to be, and I was meant to learn from Anthony Meindl during the CAS masterclass. I felt reborn as an actor learning from him. I am refreshed, excited, and inspired for all that is yet to come in my artistic journey. Thank you, Anthony, for shining a magnificent light on all that is possible, and thank you, Sonya, for not only organizing the masterclass, but also for bringing to life this incredible gift that is Creative Acting Studios!"

Thank you so much for offering the opportunity to participate in the recent workshop with CD Jake Warnecke. The session was informative, inspired and genuinely heartfelt. Jake’s compassion for the experience of the actor was clearly relayed due to his personal life and artistic experience. Knowing that there are casting directors like himself in the industry reaffirms the concept that others are pulling for our artistic success. Definitely looking forward to future sessions that you have planned.

Navigating the turbulent waters of Hollywood can be taxing. That’s why when Sonya Macari started Creative Acting Studios, it was a no brainer for and expat like myself to join in whenever I could. It is very refreshing to see a friendly face with the lilt and personality of home. Recently, I was lucky enough to take part in class with Karen Ryan of Canvas Casting. To meet people who are so successful in their respective fields and who are just as humble and more than generous with their time is inspiring. Karen’s class gives you just that little bit of hope that we do have folks cheering you on. For any actors, particularly those from Ireland and UK, check in on Sonya and what she’s doing at Creative Acting Studios. She cares and if you’re open to the help she will steer you in the right direction. Break a leg agus Go n-éirí an bóthar leat!

“It is challenging to wholly describe my incredible experience with Creative Acting Studios and Anthony Meindl. But I will give it a shot! Throughout my personal acting education. Thanks to Anthony Meindl and Sonya (two wonderfully kind and talented people), I no longer feel like a lost fledgling! Anthony got me out of my head, forget about being a robotic line reader and feel the moment! As he said, “the actors job is to evoke emotion.” And boy did we! I left feeling utterly elated and uplifted. I cannot recommend this class/studio enough! It is a safe and gracious space that allows you to let go a wee bit and have fun while peeling back your layers! 10/10

Sonya, Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the program last Saturday with Jenn Noyes. In The Practice run through The Green Room in Chicago we have all talked about how much we like when Jenn does workshops. Her feedback is always specific, thorough and constructive. With Cheese, Steve.

"I had the pleasure of joining Anthony Meindl’s workshop through Creative Acting Studios and it was awesome and inspiring! Anthony shared a lot of insight into his technique and it was fascinating to see it applied uniquely with each actor. Everything went effortlessly. Thanks Sonya and Creative Acting Studios!"

Creative Acting Studios have been so helpful for my career! They offer so many classes and seminars that have helped shape me into the artist I am today. They even have free seminars that offer such valuable advice from industry professionals currently working in the business. Sonya is the sweetest and is so generous becauses she's able to send the recorded seminar afterwards which is so considerate if you have any scheduling conflicts with the time of the class or seminar. This community is so kind and compassionate, an amazing way to network, and offers a plethora of knowledge. I am eternally grateful for CAS and I'm excited to see what the future holds in store; I can't wait to learn more!

“CAS has been a truly life changing platform for me to get my feet wet and meet casting directors, actors and work on my craft for self tapes. Honestly, I’ve learned so much about the actual work that is important, as an actor, especially from casting directors who are out there, who want us to succeed, and who absolutely want to help actors do their best work. Most recently, Arlie Day’s 2 week workshop, really showed me how to use choices, feedback and pacing to serve me and inspire me in an audition, not get in my way. Thank you Sonya for making these learning moments possible!”

Juliana Philippi

"I attended Anthony Meindl's two-day workshop through Creative Acting Studios last weekend. Anthony was great - I learned a ton, both from working with him myself and from watching him work with my fellow actors around the world! Sonya did a wonderful job coordinating and running everything - it all went smoothly and professionally!"

I just wanted to say a big thank you for organizing the workshop with CD Jenn Noyes! It was a great experience, and I really appreciated how smoothly everything was coordinated. I learned a lot from the feedback from my self-tape and the Q&A as well. I look forward to doing more workshops with CAS! Thank you!

CAS workshops and free talks are welcoming, supportive and informative! I particularly like the idea of being able to just observe which can be so beneficial (and affordable!) for actors. Being a veteran actress and having just started my own self-tape coaching business in Los Angeles: Book With Suz, I have been able to continue learning through Creative Acting Studios. Thank you Sonya! New List Item

I have had the absolute good fortune to stumble upon and discover, “Creative Acting Studios”. Sonya Macari has created an on-line environment for actors to learn and for opportunities to grow and succeed . I have had the pleasure in participating in a CD workshop as well as a free CD talk. I have already gained so much from the opportunities. It would be foolish to not be a part of it all. I am grateful.

Marcela Herrera

I really enjoy the workshops that CAS provides! I learn so much and Sonya is so helpful and very giving with her lessons. I received great feedback from a masterclass I attended with Craig Campobasso and the information that was shared has really helped my acting career.
