ABOUT
CATHRYN SULLIVAN
"Cathryn
Sullivan is one of the top acting coaches in the nation," said a renowned
casting director who casts for popular Disney shows, to a group attending
a seminar who wanted to know how to help their children and teens reach
their dreams. "Learn from her!" he said.
Cathryn coaches children and teen actors and has taught many stars (all
who've taken from her for several years) that include Demi Lovato (Sonny
with a Chance, Camp Rock), Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place, Romona,
Princess Protection Program), Madison Pettis (Corey in the House, Game
Plan), Cody Linley (Hannah Montana, Dancing with the Stars, Hoot), Jennifer
Stone (Wizards of Waverly Place), Ashley Boettcher (Aliens in the Attic),
and Logan Miller (the newest Disney XD show on Disney "I'm in the Band").
And continues to stay in touch with all of them. She coaches many actors
for all levels of acting and enjoys developing them and watching them
grow.
Cathryn
"Cathy" Sullivan started as a teenager doing speech tournaments and
lead stage roles in high school, college, and county theater. "I took
professional classes for years from many teachers. I finally found one
brilliant and gifted teacher who really knew how to teach actors how
to really improve their craft. After taking from him for three years
and working in the film industry for a while, I became his partner and
taught film and TV to adults. We taught seminars in Texas, Oklahoma,
and Arkansas for several years. My passion for being an actress grew
into a deep love for directing and teaching. I took this and added to
it the practical knowledge I have gained by being on dozens of sets
all over the country. In my classes, we focus on the positives of the
student's performance, but gently point out the problem areas of the
actor and explain how to make those moments better. I love child and
teen actors. I believe that if a child/teen has talent, I can help him
or her develop or enhance a great imagination (a must for an actor),
the ability to adapt well, and teach them many other skills that are
required to be a professional actor. With a strong support system in
place (their parents!), there is a great chance for success. I love
helping actors reach their dreams!"
