Actors are talking…

Farid Yazdani, Toronto Actor, says…

“Michael is a wonderful coach. My confidence level increased thanks to the feedback and experience given by Michael. I credit my recent sucess to the experience and familiarity I obtained from Michael. Simply put, Michael provided the shoes for the race that is the actors life.”

Candice Gilliam, Toronto Actor, says…

“I didn’t know what I was capable of until my coaching sessions with Michael. If you’re a theatre actor looking for someone that understands the struggle of transitioning into film and television acting, Michael is your man! Thanks Michael!”

Neil Whitely, Toronto Actor, says…

“At first I didn’t understand many of the principles he was trying to teach me but now years later I am still using the techniques I learned thanks to Michael. In the past five years I have been fortunate enough to appear in feature films, episodic television and commercials. I owe much of that to Michael Caruana.”

Ryan O’Neil, Toronto Actor, says…

“I walked into Michael’s studio with no acting experience other than four prior acting jobs. Today, I’m represented by Glickman-Alexander and have acted in multiple short films, ads, a vertical reel and an improv comedy show and much more that I can’t wait to share when it is released”
