What They’re Saying

Real actors. Real results. Real growth.

I could tell you about my coaching and classes all day—but I’d rather let the actors I’ve worked with do the talking.

 

Below, you’ll hear from actors who’ve worked with me in coaching sessions, classes, and on-camera workshops.

 

What they have in common?

 

They showed up ready to grow—and they walked away with more confidence, clarity, and results.

"My consultation with Christy before my last headshot shoot was instrumental in its success. We reviewed my materials at the time and she gave me honest and actionable advice on how to elevate them. She helped clarify my casting and guided me with specifics on how best I could support it. After the shoot, she went above and beyond to help me select the final shots I now currently use, including where and how to use the different choices. Her selections were so spot on, all my reps wholeheartedly agreed... and let's just say I've never auditioned like I audition now. It's like night and day."

Dominic Burgess discussing the impact of Christy Faison's coaching.

"Christy is a teacher of rare versatility; able to push and challenge her students with individual care and attention to their specific needs. As an actor my craft has grown under her guidance, I'm able to take bigger risks, make bolder choices and to push myself further. Notes are forthright and specific, and she has an ability to instinctively make adjustments that will further enhance performances. As an audition coach, Christy delves into the material with you, exploring the character and the world."

"Christy has a keen, intuitive understanding of people, specifically the types of roles that will not only showcase an actor's unique casting, but also challenge them to grow as artists. She assigned sides that brought out qualities in each actor that I wanted to see more of, whether unexpected or perfectly on type. During our 4 week class, her feedback helped me to take more risks, access deep vulnerability, and clean up some distracting on camera behavior. The class not only benefited my self-tape audition skills, but also improved my confidence while acting."

"I’ve known Christy for years and continue to learn from her. She is the quintessential actor’s friend, and a master of script analysis. With an extensive and very impressive casting resume, her notes are always with both the character in mind, and tailored to how they fit on the individual actor. What more could you want in a teacher? I encourage all actors to learn from her…as I do."

"Christy has been instrumental in my successes in the audition room. She is straightforward, no nonsense, truthful, and genuine. She has great attention-to-detail in identifying the needs of each actor, from your strengths and what you do best, to what needs improvement. I also love the feel of community, we have become a group of supportive, giving actors who go out of our way to help one another, and celebrate each other."

"Christy's classes have given me a safe space to craft my own preparation process for auditions. She pushes me to explore, take risks and always be as authentic as possible no matter the role or how much time I have to prepare."

"Christy is such a wonderful person to work with.  She is generous, works fast, and her magic combination of a great eye for casting and a genuine love of performance/craft means every scene she's given me to work on has been specific to me as an actor, insightful, and deeply satisfying. Any time spent working with Christy is invigorating, helpful, and, importantly, joyful too! Always worth it."

Cerris Morgan-Moyer, Actor testimonial for Christy Faison's coaching

"Both as a teacher and as a casting director, Christy is fearlessly and charmingly honest: her unequivocal intuition is deeply valuable. She is clear in her insights and warmly collaborative in communicating them. As a student I always feel seen: good, bad and ugly. There is no time wasted sugar-coating: Christy is unable to lie about a moment's truth which means the room can trust her. For me as an actor, this is everything! She is also committed to collaborating to find an actor's best version of a character and seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the industry present and past: filmmakers, actors, roles and beyond. She knows her stuff and is great in the room!"

"Before I taking Christy's online class to help me with my self-tapes it was impossible for me to even get a call back and I didn't understand why. Within a month of working with her, I got callbacks and booked a recurring role in a sitcom. Fully recommend her classes. It might just change the game for you. It certainly did for me."
