She helped me gain my confidence back in acting again and I'm confident she'll do the same for those who take her classes.

Catharine is THE BEST!! I met her at LMU during my junior year and she became my favorite teacher very quickly. Her ability to make every single class fun and also filled with valuable knowledge at the same time is truly remarkable. Because of her skills and years-long experience in the entertainment industry I started working with her one on one as an acting coach and mentor. Catharine has a huge resume (check it out!!) that really reflects her approach of teaching on this level of expertise. I can truly say I've seen progress in my work because of her help and guidance. I can't even describe how much she has helped me to evolve and grow as an actress - I went from never having Shakespeare performed to doing Shakespeare-monologues in front of professionals, and getting callbacks!!

She worked with me on auditions, self-tapes and drama school applications - always with the same enthusiasm and positivity! I can always rely on her, and trust her professionalism. Not to mention that she cares about you deeply, and genuinely wants you to succeed. Catharine has really been a big support for me as a professor, mentor and coach.

One of the most wonderful teachers I have experienced in my lifetime! She cares genuinely and is quite inspiring!"

Professor Dada and her class are inherently joyful, educational and impactful. My life has improved vastly, as I’ve become stronger as an actor, more confident as an artist, and more loving as a person..."

People literally find their voice because of her. And that is something truly amazing to witness and be a part of."

Catharine is the most inspiring and helpful instructor that a student could ask for! I came to her with a monologue that I had already recorded, which I felt pretty good about. It didn't take long before we essentially scrapped it and changed everything. She didn't let me off easy. I had to work very hard, which paid off tremendously. By the time I completed the re-worked monologue with her, it was worlds better than what I had brought to the stage, to begin with, and if I hadn't brought it to her in the first place, I wouldn't have recognized my potential. So thankful to have found Catharine!

She is an excellent teacher because she allows you to reflect on what you can grow in while simultaneously giving ideas that you might have never tried or been open to. Always 100% supportive and allows room for growth without feeling insecure and afraid to try new things in acting. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll notice your growth from start to finish!

This course helped me tremendously. I was at a place in my life where I was tired of having to sacrifice my emotional well being for acting and this course taught me a new way to approach acting that is so much better for my mental health. I wish I could take this class again.
