Testimonials

The tools Jamie gave me in our first one-hour session were solutions I had been seeking for years, and a few very critical tips I didn't even realize I was missing! She brought an invaluable level of knowledge, wisdom, and experience and gave practical, achievable feedback while fostering a truly kind and encouraging environment. She assessed exactly what I needed immediately and from playback I watched my work grow exponentially from her guidance. She gave me both the hands-on, straight-forward knowledge and the creative support I needed to feel truly great about going into an appointment. Basically - Jamie is very, very special and I can't say enough great things about her.

Jamie Carroll was my first On-Camera coach and really nailed what it meant to audition, giving me room to practice for the real thing and providing a generous space for growth. After training with her, I booked my first film role off of my first repped audition! Having now worked with a variety of teachers, I can easily say that she has pushed my work forward in myriad ways, making me infinitely more bookable. Auditioning is its own challenge, and Jamie has a vast understanding of how one can surpass it!

Jamie Carroll is the most consistent, and respectful casting director that I have had the pleasure to work with. I am always guaranteed a great pool of talent to pick from.

Jamie has a 100% track record with me getting callbacks & booking auditions. Whenever I coach with Jamie, she always helps me craft a specific & nuanced scene while simultaneously pulling out emotional depths in me with her thoughtful prompts. She is thorough, encouraging, honest, patient & warm. Jamie’s direction has completely transformed my auditions!

Jamie has been a huge asset to my career! Through coaching and classes, she’s taught me how to make my auditions physically and emotionally “pop”. Her “you can do this” attitude, and her knowledge of the industry always helps me walk into the room confident and prepared. After one coaching session with her, I got pinned for a Hulu series regular. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Jamie Carroll is likely the most passionate teacher I've ever met. She is as curious and driven to find what unlocks an actor's potential and unique greatness as any coach you'll find. Jamie's coaching sessions have gently and precisely cracked open scenes, characters, relationships and auditions for me. The result is always something that feels somehow entirely mine. Jamie has the gift of seeing the beauty in people and framing it for the world to see. My most recent coaching with Jamie landed me a callback for the Broadway show I am currently in. Infinite gratitude for this most generous and creative genius.

After coaching with Jamie I’m always more comfortable walking into an audition! I’m sure that all my choices are 100% solid and that I know exactly what I’m doing within every moment. It’s important that you trust your coach and that they trust your instinct and I have that with Jamie! Also, I love all the positive feedback I get from casting!

Working with Jamie has been instrumental to my growth as an actor. She pushes me to approach acting with both vulnerability and technique and works with me to discover what I can uniquely bring to a role, all while helping me feel comfortable and confident. It’s a relief to know that I have a coach and mentor like Jamie. That’s something all actors deserve.

Jamie Carroll is one of the top professional acting coaches in New York, if not the country. I’ve visited studios where she’s taught & I’ve seen the most prepared and impressive, exciting auditions in town. She’s not there to “teach acting,” she's there to perfect it.

Jamie has an eye for excellence! She's able to quickly get a grasp of the sides and look for the bits of you as a person that makes the character exciting. She has an instinct for drawing out your humanity, putting it on display. And more importantly, she believes in you and your ability to bring it. You. Can. Not. Teach. That. Period.
