Coaching
byCamille

I watched Camille blossom and explode on stage, opposite Jesse Eisenberg Off-broadway in a tour de force performance. An exceptionally bright, focused and insightful woman who brings great passion to everything she does.

Raphael Sbarge, Actor / Emmy-Nominee / Mentor

There was something in her that was totally distinct. First of all, she has incredible comic timing, which is to me, impossible to learn — you either have it or you don’t have it. She has it in spades. She is also fantastic dramatically. What she does is bring something so sweet and innocent to it, it complicates it in a wonderful way.

Jesse Eisenberg, on casting Camille [interview with Art Info]

BEST investment ever!! I came to Camille seeking blunt honesty on my career! She has the ability to look within clients and totally rebrand them. Camille is a serious game changer when it comes to becoming more successful in the LA TV/Film Acting Market. I literally never thought I was capable of comedy, but she made me see my natural comedic quirks that I thought were just plain weird. I gave it a go. Auditioned for my first comedic role in a network dramedy pilot and I got the part. You won't regret booking camille.

Kayla Cromer (FREEFORM, Everything's Gonna be Okay, Series Regular)

Camille is an excellent acting coach. She has been working with my son for over a year and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She knows the business inside and out and understands exactly how to coach an actor to do their very best in any audition situation. She has the rare ability to create a safe and challenging environment for even the youngest student. She is truly committed to the craft and always brings positive energy, great sensitivity, intelligence and a sense of humor. My son's confidence and knowledge of acting has soared since working with Camille. I have recommended Camille as a coach to many of our actor friends (youth and adult) and every single one has loved her. If you need to brush up your skills, prepare for an audition or booking or just continue to learn and grow as an actor I recommend Camille one-hundred percent.

Gavin Lewis (Series Regular, Little Files Everywehere, Head of the Class)

I have been coached by Camille for several years. She reads auditions sides like music! She can find the flow and the notes and the little hidden gems that make you stand out in a room! I will continue to work with Camille. She is also an amazing actress so working sides with her is a plus and a must!

Abby Wathen (Permanent opposite Rainn Wilson, Patricia Arquette )

If she sees one facet that needs improvement she'll help you hone it until it becomes a strength. I recommend that any actor, veteran or novice, work with her.

Francisco Rodriguez (Queenpins opposite Kristen Bell)

Camille is WICKED TALENTED, LASER-FOCUSED, the most enthusiastic CHEERLEADER who roots for your success like crazy. She's helped me navigate auditions to callbacks to rep meetings... every step of the way. Even when our session is over, she makes it a point to follow-up. I feel so incredibly cared for and supported by Camille, and anyone would be LUCKY to have her in their corner!!!

Christy Jung-Yun Choi (Better Things-Recurring, NCIS: LA, ABC Discovers Showcase)

Within a few months of working with Camille, I became SAG-Eligible and secured management. It doesn't stop at career coaching, her classes are intense but will have you ready to audition for anything. She will have you working on areas you're not comfortable in, just so you can improve that muscle. Not only that, but Camille truly cares. Camille was definitely my confidence booster!

Kike Ayodeji (A Good Cop, Evil Lives Here, Riverment)

Camille is absolutely amazing, and goes above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I was feeling stuck. She took the time to come up with a specific action-plan that would help me direct my energy into areas where she specifically believed I would thrive. She has truly helped drive my career. I feel like I have purpose in my career again, and that it is the right direction for me to be going! 100% recommend!!

Fiona Dorn (BFA, Cal Arts)

Camille is a master at what she does and I've never met a coach as caring and knowledgeable. I have a degree in Acting. I have had many acting teachers + coaches throughout the years but NONE have helped me in BOTH the artistic and business side of this industry than Camille. In a short amount of time, I've gotten more Network TV auditions and callbacks by applying what I learned in Camille's class. I've cultivated great relationships with casting directors and have gotten great feedback on my work. She will definitely challenge you and nurture your talent at the same time. Apply what you learn from this great coach and get ready to see RESULTS.

Precious Sipin (Going in Style, dir. Zach Braff)

I was a returning actor to the business. She went to great lengths to familiarize me with how things have changed. She has a great eye for spotting your areas of need and suggesting what to do to improve. I audited her class, did private coaching, did a styling session and had her help me sharpen my tools. The end result is I recently signed with new rep, shot a feature film, got new pics and I'm ready to attain more success. I highly recommend her to any actor that is serious about this business!

Mark Frank (Falling Down opp. Michael Douglas)

Don’t let her young pretty face fool ya. She has a sharp BS meter and will get you to focus moment to moment.

Iris Almario (Recurring "Bosch", Recurring "Young and the Restless")

Camille is a proper artist, human, story teller and beautiful actress. Her knowledge of this industry is invaluable. With either gentle nudging or firecracker coaching (she reads what people need well), she will push your career forward immensely. Work with her, you won’t regret it.

Samantha Smart (CBS Tommy, Recurring CW Katy Keene)

She's helped me gain such immense confidence. I can see growth because of her help. I've been able to book recurring roles, guest star, and commercial spots! She is one of the reasons for my success.

Ariella Amar (Black-ish, How I Met Your Father, Blindspotting, Promised Land)

Camille is not only an incredible artist but also an incredible coach. She's worked in front of and behind the camera and really understands what it takes to succeed as an actor. She's coached me on rebranding myself and I couldn't be happier with the results. If you're looking for inspiration look no further. She will get you unstuck! She also has an incredible editing ability. My agent wrote me twice in a row after Camille edited my Demo!

Heather Le Roy (The Duel w/ Woody Harrelson, Sidewalk Traffic w/ Heather Matarazzo)

I love her energy! I've been working with Camille and her team for the past year or so​.​ Learning from her and Sue-Kate has been a blast ​for private coaching and career coaching! I recommend CBC to all my actor friends​.​

Natalie Ramos

I can't say enough how blessed we are to have met Camille and the wonderful staff at this acting studio, Coaching By Camille. We first heard about Camille's name mentioned from a couple of our son's friends. My son was not getting callbacks after using other acting coaches so we decided to give Camille a try. After one private coaching from Camille for a brand new series-regular role with a tough and well-known casting director, our son got a callback. We had Camille coach him for the callback and the result was awesome! Our son had so much confidence and tools going in that he was asked back for a producers' session with the show's writer, the casting directors, and the show's producers. For another role, we tried booking a session with Camille again. Unfortunately, she was busy so we booked it with her colleague, Susan-Kate Heaney. She was awesome too! Our son was put on avail for this role as well.

Parent of Mitchell Gregorio (Gilmore Girls, Me Myself and I)

I private coach with Camille and every session has always proven to be beneficial. First off, just as a person, she's kind and humble and it certainly carries into her teaching style. She's very intentional in her coaching approach and gives notes that are spot on. I always feel more grounded and confident in my audition prep after coaching with her. I truly respect her perspective of the work and have learned a lot about the craft simply by soaking in the way she approaches and thinks about character/scene work. I'll never hesitate to work with her and refer people to her. OH - one more thing: there's no ego with Camille and that in itself goes a long way.

Charles Maceo (Grey's Anatomy, The Orville, American Crime Story)

Camille and Sue-Kate are my go-to coaches for every episodic and feature film audition! Camille and Sue-Kate are a working TV and film actors that are well versed in all genres. Just within this 2019 pilot season alone, I have been fortunate to have had several major network episodic auditions, and my callback rate has never been higher – this includes producer callback sessions, a pin, and yes, a Disney episodic pilot booking just this month! My coaches understand what level I should be performing at for this major network auditions, and strive to get me to that level; providing incredible insight into my characters, and revealing unique opportunities to shine in every scene, this helps me to make incredibly strong choices. They both finish every coaching session with final notes and words of encouragement that put me at ease, and build my confidence level. What I love about both my coaches is that they cut to the chase because they too are working actors and they both understand the casting process for every network show, and often, even the casting directors that I will be in front of giving me such an advantage from the get-go. All I can say is the Camille and Sue-Kate are top notch coaches, knowledgable and trustworthy. They are true to their craft, and genuinely want to give you every viable note and actors tool that they can provide, so that your coaching session leaves you audition-ready and callback worthy!

Roman Dean George (Just Roll with It, Life is Strange 2)

She helped me with Headshot Styling. The photographer said "Wow, this lady really knows what she's doing". We got 8 looks in with lots of variations, and they remarked "most successful shoot they have ever done".

Rhiannon Ross (Graduate of RADA, Drama Centre London)

I've audited, I've been private-coached by Sue-Kate a couple times, and I got PINNED on that gig I was coached for! Then the next week or two, I used the same techniques for another audition I had and I BOOKED a MAJOR FILM for 2019!! It was the best experience I got as an actor to work with other working actors who know what casting and producers are looking for. They are the real deal. If you're still hesitant...hit me on IG @mannystreetz I'll fill ya in even more!

Manny Streetz (The Way Back, On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, KIISS FM, The Young and the Restless))

My daughter has been coached by Camille via Skype since 2014 on both drama and comedy. She recently secured an excellent rep/manager and has been going out to amazing auditions. Since recommended to us, Camille has played a pivotal role in my daughter's journey to get into the industry. Besides coaching her on acting, Camille helped us decide if and when my daughter is ready for LA, introduced her to potential reps, recommended photographers, etc. There are many unknown details for people new to the industry, like us, having Camille's guidance is simply fantastic. She is prompt, detail oriented, conscientious on time and money spent (I really appreciate that), and highly effective.

Parent of Lukita Maxwell (Series Regular, HBO Max, Generation, Recurring, Speechless)

Camille's career coaching has completely changed the trajectory of my career. I had been in LA for awhile and my career was stagnant. I couldn't get arrested. Frustrated, I met with Camille. I had recently dramatically changed my hairstyle and Camille brilliantly saw this as an opportunity to rebrand my image. Before, I was lost in a sea of brunette women, but Camille encouraged me to embrace my individuality. Instead of viewing my unconventionality as a disadvantage, she wisely saw it as an advantage. Camille walked me through getting new headshots. She painstakingly shopped for, catalogued, and streamlined my entire headshot wardrobe and accessories. Because of Camille's meticulous organization, my shoot was unbelievably quick, painless, and productive. The photographer shot nine looks and hundreds of amazing, usable shots. Camille then carefully combed through the photos to find the perfect selection to land me new representation and auditions. It worked, because I signed with new theatrical and commercial representation and I'm getting significantly more auditions. I had sought advice from other people in the industry before, but Camille was the only person who provided concrete, actionable steps to achieve my goals. She also believed in me from day one and her enthusiasm was contagious. Her belief in me meant more than anything and I look forward to an even brighter future with Camille's guidance.

Jenny Strubin (The Last Ship, Terminal List, Criminal Minds)

Camille is a great teacher! The instructions she gives are impactful, inspiring, extremely targeted and spot on. Camille knows how to speak the language of actors. Empowers me. She's incredibly honest and doesn't hide behind flowery words.

Veronica Roy (Criminal Minds)

Camille is as good as it gets! I'm currently a Career Coaching client with her and in the short time we've worked together I couldn't be happier with what she has done for my Career. The value you get with her inside knowledge of the industry and how to navigate it is immeasurable. Take headshots for example, Camille showed me that my headshots needed some major work. After we brainstormed on what roles and types I will be playing she found me the perfect deal. Not only did she guide me on where to go for headshots, but she went out and figured out which outfits on me would work best for each look. You won't find anyone else in LA who will do that for you. Once I put those new headshots on my Actors Access and LA Casting, my calls to auditions TRIPLED. Working on things for me such as headshots, building your resume, demo reels & more, Camille is laying out a springboard for me and my career and will for yours too. You are not going to find someone who works harder for YOUR career than Camille. She took me from someone who was wandering aimlessly through the Hollywood Jungle, to someone who just booked a Co-Star role on a Major Network Television show. Cannot recommend enough Thank you, Camille!

Kyle Grossmeyer (NCIS, Them: Covenant)

Working with CBC was the best decision that I could have made for my acting career as a young performer. Camille’s attention to detail, personal approach to coaching and helpful advice makes me feel as if I’m her only private coaching client. My very first coaching session with CBC was with Susan-Kate and her training resulted in me having a callback and producers session for a series lead on a network comedy pilot. As a result of the personalized training received by Camille, I booked a supporting role in a major studio feature film, was pinned for Series Lead/Series Regular of a network comedy pilot and had a Chemistry Read and multiple callbacks for a lead in a feature film with one of the most A-List casting offices in the USA. I highly recommend training at CBC and while you’re there don’t forget to call on Mark for your self tape/private coaching needs. You won’t regret your decision.

McKenzie Franklin (Shameless, Untitled Lena Waithe Project)

I can't put into words how valuable Camille's career coaching and acting coaching has been. She is unbelievably knowledgable, fiercely honest and genuinely cares for all of her clients. She's the type of person that truly wants you to succeed. Before, I started with her, I was only getting into a couple doors a month and barely booking. She helped me find my brand, gave me guidance on what to wear, and how to properly submit myself to different roles. Now, I'm an audition and booking monster. I honestly can't thank her enough for making me feel like someone is truly in my corner. I highly recommend her to anyone who is wants to take their career to the next level.

Brittannie Bohman (Left Behind)

Camille is an incredible coach and mentor. I’ve broken through my comfort zones working with her. She gives you the tools you need to stay consistent with your career goals, and creates a safe space to grow as an artist and as a person.

Rae Jones (Good Trouble)

Camille graced my life at a point in my career where I was struggling to get to the next level. Her career coaching literally turned my life around.  I mean, this woman is a marketing genius. I went from getting ZERO auditions to a PINNING for a lead role in a NETWORK pilot. I call her my guardian angel now.

Akemi Look (Wrinkle in Time, The Man from Earth w/ Vanessa Williams)

I loved it! I learned a lot from you, and you made me feel as comfortable as I could acting. It's a challenge and this is a good start! I can see why you've got so many great reviews on Yelp. You are awesome. Thank you so much.

Ashley Eriksson (Recurring, Cartoon Network's Adventure Time, and Musician, LAKE)

I came to Camille for some much needed Career Coaching and wow, she is a swift kick in the pants (in the very best way possible)! In just a few short months of working with her, I have secured theatrical representation, gotten a manager and booked a film role playing the wife of a very well known actor. Prior to meeting her I was agent-less, stagnant and feeling helpless. She is realistic, honest and works sooo hard. If you (and your career) need a boost, Camille is the way to go!

Molly Kidder (Recurring Grey's Anatomy, 26 Episodes)

Camille is practically an all-service acting coach. She has helped me with branding, headshot advice, audition outfit advice, and most importantly audition coaching. I would not feel as confident walking into every audition room if it weren't for Camille. This is not an exaggeration. She's extremely knowledgable about shows, acting styles, and genres and helps guide me toward the best choices that feel natural to me. In our coachings, she has helped me unlock each end of my emotional spectrum, farther than I ever thought possible. There's a lot of acting coaches in LA, but Camille is truly a shining (affordable) light in this crazy town. Cannot recommend her enough!

Julia Aks (Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)

I heard about Camille years ago and thought, “She’s just another person collecting money from actors who doesn’t give anything of herself in return.” Boy, was I wrong. When I finally met Camille in person and saw this tiny power-packed young woman, I was in awe. A dynamite individual filled with power and knowledge like no one teacher or training I’ve encountered. Her expertise, wisdom and knowledge is Priceless. She’s a gift to many; especially to my son and I and the friends we have referred.

Lynne Hunter-Davis

I am super thankful to have your positive influence in my life.

Sheldon White (Recurring, Splitting Up Together)

EXCELLENT. GAME CHANGER. AFFORDABLE. Camille is genuinely invested in you and finds nuances in your scenes to make your audition pop. I will be using her from this point on before all of my auditions. Not only is she personable and a script analyzing expert, but she's super fun to work with and gave me valuable career advice. Highly recommended.

Sachie Alessio (Life in Pieces, Good Girls)

I frequently come to Camille for one on one coaching. She's a genius and loves to share all her insights, techniques, POV on anything and everything actor related. I respect her immensely not just because she's a great coach but because she's a great actress, and learning from someone that has experience in TV and Film is a valuable learning experience. I've been telling all my friends to coach with this wonderful lady.

Marc Fajardo (Helen Mirren/Donald Sutherland "The Leisure Seeker")

Camille's knowledge of the industry and the intensity with which she cares about what is best for YOU set her apart from any other coach I've ever had. She has been my guiding light in Los Angeles and has helped reboot in many areas including coaching, classes, headshots, etc... If you're looking for someone who can help you step up your game and make changes that will bring you closer to your goals, Camille is your person.

Rachel Drayke (Dixieland w/ Riley Keough, Chris Zylka)

I've trained at many institutions, but I've never felt so inspired and motivated to continue being an artist until now. Camille is more than a coach & teacher, she is the positive voice inside your head to keep going (literally - she sometimes leaves voice notes)! Camille has guided me in ways that I can't put into words. If you are looking for a wonderful person to elevate, inspire, guide, and genuinely care for you, then look no further than Camille. You'd be lucky to have her in your life.

Kamaria Williams, Rutherford Falls (Peacock), NYU Tisch Alum

Camille is a fantastic coach. She immediately sees where a scene could use some adjusting and is great at sensing your strengths as an actor. She insures that by the end of the coaching, your scene not only showcases your talent but that it is specific to what YOU bring to the table. She utilizes time effectively so that you can feel as prepared as possible. I've recently been going in for bigger projects that were terrifying to me and was looking for a coach who would prep me on rooms and situations that I had never been in before. Camille is incredibly knowledgeable about the industry, and I am able to walk into the room feeling the most confident and prepared that I ever have. On top of everything, I find her to be very affordable and well worth the investment.

Melissa Macedo (Recurring "Girl Boss", James Franco's "Blood Heist")

You also have an amazing, non-ego oriented approach that makes it very easy for all of them to work with you no matter where they feel they are and that is hard to find! Especially because all three of them really like to honor their instincts with the approach that works for them and there are not many coaches that can meet students where they are and enhance without telling them how they need to do it. We are lucky to have found you.

Parent of Danielle Kotch (Person of Interest, Made in Jersey)

Camille really cuts years of trial and error out of your career as a performer. I'd been acting for 8 years before I came to Camille and she gave me specific, useful tools for crafting excellent comedic performances. Her coaching gave me INVALUABLE insight as to how to best sell myself as an actor.

Jeremy Sistoso (Cal Arts Graduate)

One of the best resources an actor can get. I was lost trying to find a way to break into the business. Camille was able to get me organized and gave me the tools to start making moves. I still have a lot of work to do but thanks to Camille and her team I have a clear path ahead of me. I am so thankful for them.

Austin Gelfman (Lilyhammer)

Camille is an exceptional acting and marketing coach. She has helped me identify and specify my "brand," strategize for casting director workshops, and prepare for auditions. She is extremely efficient with her time, and not a second is wasted during a coaching session. Camille has helped me to navigate the beginning steps of my career, and find a path forward with very clear and achievable goals. She knows this business inside and out — through her strategies and industry connections, I recently signed with my first manager. She is focused on both the art and the business of acting, and she is equally gifted in coaching both. She knows exactly how to breakdown a script, and how to make a scene "pop" in a way that is unique to you. I highly recommend Camille -- whether you are auditioning or you need a marketing makeover, Camille is the coach to go to!

Larkin Bell (Honor Council, produced by Josh Hutcherson)

Camille and her team are Amazing! This is the first acting class I've ever taken and oh my goodness have I had substantial growth. Her clear direction and constructive criticism have helped me become more aware and confident in my performances. Every time I've needed her help with my script in class or any career advice in general Camille always goes the extra mile to get me the best solution possible. What I truly love is that Camille cares for her actors and their acting journeys. Zachary has been incredible in my career coaching. He's helped me set up my headshots, resume, actors access, la casting and a Commercial Agent in only 3 months. I also had the pleasure of working with Susan-Kate and Mark for a class session each and I felt I learned so much about my approach towards the break down and delivery of my script abs performance. I couldn't imagine being where I am in my acting journey without the help of Camille and her team!

Erick Inestroza (Dateable)

I honestly don’t know what I would do without you. I second guessed myself as an actor quite frequently, even gave it up out of frustration, and then I found you. I appreciate the real talks, encouraging words and the simple check-in that go beyond the point of a working relationship but actually show you care. You have helped me see things from a vantage point I would’ve never recognized. You’ve given me a drive in places I settled being complacent. You’ve helped me realize that I have to be in control of my career, constantly getting better everyday, sharpening my skills and expressing myself. No longer will I sit around waiting for calls, but I will be making things happen - all because of your teaching. I can’t thank you enough - I wouldn’t be where I am and going without you!

Brandan Hunter-Davis (Superstore)

Camille really exceeded my expectations as a teacher and coach as she shows up for every one of us and teaches US how to show up for ourselves and step into our power. I had much needed breakthroughs in class with her in just two cycles. I leave every class or coaching in a better mood and outlook than when I started.

Carly Bruno, BFA in Acting

Camille is a game changer. An exceptional acting coach who will advance your skills while furthering your career. I've been working with Camille for almost 9 months now, and she has been an absolute godsend of mine in LA. Seriously. I've worked with her in a variety of ways -- classes, career coaching, headshot styling, etc. and with her guidance and support, I've seen a shift in my career and my mindset. I've been in many acting classes and the thing that sets Camille apart from other classes is her ability to TEACH. So many times I've been in an acting class where I feel like I'm just being directed around, rather than actually learning. With Camille, she is giving you the tools you need to succeed beyond the classroom. You are learning real skills you can access in the audition room and on set. She's truly been a mentor to me which is so rare to find in LA and I feel lucky to have found her. She goes the extra mile for her students, is constantly checking in, showing support, and truly wants what's best for you.

Kelsey Keithley (The Halloween Party)

SHE BOOKED IT, CAMILLE! And they're offering her money on the back end! Thanks so much for all of your help. I really don't believe she would've booked it if it wasn't for you!

Parent of Tiara McKinney (Burning Palms)

Camille is without a doubt ON POINT. I have gotten farther along in my acting career in 6 months than I had in the last couple years. My first meeting was actually with Zachary who is absolutely amazing. Loved working with him and felt like he knew me and where my branding is going right off the bat. Both of them truly care and go above and beyond to support me.

Laurie Brown (A Fine Mess)

Camille is a stellar career coach! She cares about your success and it shows. I can't say enough about her professionalism! Her ability to assess areas of growth and design a thoughtful action plan is simply amazing.

Mark Meir (Newsroom, Scandal, Fear The Walking Dead)

I first contacted CBC early February 2019. I first started out with the Private Coaching Bundle. I met with Camille via Skype and immediately I knew I made the right choice. She has a keen eye for detail and was able to point out my strengths as well as weaknesses with my acting technique. She is very positive and patient but also challenges her clients to step out of their comfort zone. Something I personally needed to do. Knowing I was going to continue training, Camille also referred me to Austin on the CBC team to get a different teacher perspective. Austin was also positive and brought his own technical style of teaching which I truly appreciate and now I have more tools in my acting toolbox to refer to. After a month of acting technique, I added Career Coaching with Camille. Once we determined what my goals were, we got down to business FAST. Camille does not mess around! Within 2 months I was already going on agent meetings and getting offers! Something I’ve been wanting and needing to do for a long time. She just helped accelerate the process and kept me accountable. At one point I needed to send in a self-tape to an agent and she immediately got me set up to do a coaching/taping with Mark, another of her CBC associates. Mark was great! He too was very positive as well as constructive. The tape helped me get seen by the agent. Not even six months, I have gained more confidence in my own self-taping skills, acting technique and signed across the board with an agent not only in LA but Chicago as well. I’m continuing my training and coaching because that’s because I always believe it’s important to stay current, but I’ve also achieved so much in such a short amount of time. I think what worked for me is being open minded, being coachable and having the right mindset about this business. Camille and everyone at CBC were just icing on the cake. They are all working professionals who have “been there, done that”. They know this business, they know what is current, they are positive, and they want you to achieve your acting goals, they are a great team to have on your side!

Leanne Abalos (Therapists)

Camille I love your classes, they just make my day better and after watching your reel, I gained a whole new respect for you. You are a working actress and you've played so many different ranges. You are amazing. Thank you for all you do, I don't think you realize how much we appreciate you Camille!

Sierra Duncil

I’ve done career coaching (with Zach and Camille) and have taken Camille’s class. I took the class in hopes of furthering my education in comedy (especially with sit com), which was a daunting prospect. Camille was great at helping me navigate the different types of tv comedy in a digestible way. I highly recommend her class to those that are looking to expand their actor’s toolbox!

Alice Bang (Sasha)

Camille is truly a gift. Her constructive criticism is so thoughtful, one would have a difficult time discerning it to be a form of criticism in the first place! She is honest and relentless in her pursuit of causing growth in the students she mentors. I find myself looking forward to class every week. My time with her flies and sometimes an hour just doesn't feel like enough! Were I to have the finances to study with her every day during the week, I would in a heartbeat! The one hour privates have already paid themselves off tenfold in terms of the confidence and growth I have experienced because of her teaching ability. Zachary is the go to for career advice and doesn't waste any time paving the way for anyone who is looking to go somewhere (else) in their career. Cheers to an awesome team and I look forward to working with the rest of the staff. Report review

Charles Rapaglia

My 8 year-old daughter has been asking for acting classes for several years. Other than one summer theater camp a year, I wouldn't let her venture into Hollywood - too many horror stories. But then I met Camille, and felt she was the right coach/teacher for Alex. My intuition was spot-on: Alex loved her classes and I felt super comfortable with the environment she created. When I picked my Alex up after the first 2-hour class, she said, "Dad, it felt like 5 minutes." Camille is not only well-versed in how to age-appropriately teach the craft of acting to kids, she's also excellent at communicating with us, giving industry advice, consulting for headshots, etc. And since she was a young actor herself, she's well-aware of the pitfalls.

Parent of Alex H.

Camille is awesome! She coaches 2 of my children and they love her. She's not only a coach to them but a great friend which makes them really open up to her as actors. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her taking time away from her busy schedule to work with the kids whenever we need her. She always provides notes and feedback that are helpful. I highly recommend Camille for your acting needs!

Parent of Ayden Saveng ("The Bird Who Could Fly" by Raphael Sbarge)

Camille is amazing! I'd recommend her to any actor. She knows the business and is excellent not only as an accomplished actress in her own right, but also as a teacher. She is absolutely a joy to work! If you want great career advice or coaching she's my number one pick.

Danielle Skalsky

Being new in Hollywood is not easy, especially if you are just starting out. You don’t know what direction you should move with your career, your acting strengths and weaknesses, the kind of classes you should take to be successful in this industry. I have to thank Camille for her help and tips. I can see that I am moving in the right direction with her guidance. She is an awesome acting guide.

Naveen Suri

I have a 7 year old daughter who wanted to get into the world of acting. It's such a crazy and confusing industry when you are just starting out. I had signed her with an agent but noticed we needed more help when it came down to her auditions, not knowing the ropes and what was expected of her. I found Camille online because of her amazing reviews and decided to go for it. I could tell right away that she was very professional and passionate about her work with a great amount of experience working with kids in this industry. She knew right away what my daughter needed to work on and gave us tons of advice when it came to questions about being in this field. Also, her pricing was very fair compared to anything I've seen out there. The past few sessions especially have been super exciting because I've seen my daughter growing more confident in doing what she loves and she's having so much fun with it at the same time. Now I know that when I have to drive an hour plus in traffic to her auditions (usually from Santa Monica to Hollywood), that I don't have anything to worry about when it comes to my daughter being prepared!

Parent of Ella

Camille is a powerhouse! She is everything you want in a coach and mentor. She is the reason I signed with my commercial agent leading to many auditions, callbacks, and bookings. She knows how to brand and what steps the actor needs next in their careers. One of the best headshots I still receive amazing feedback on was all thanks to Camille going through outfits/branding with me. I have received very positive feedback from CDs after preparing scenes with Camille. She is fantastic at both comedy and drama, pushing me to make strong choices. I leave every session feeling confident. She is generous with her time, knows how to make the space feel safe to explore and take risks. Camille cares deeply about her clients and students. There is a reason she has been a working actor in the industry for years. She is an expert at the craft and a genuine, loving, empowering coach. I have been to many classes and coaches in LA but I would only recommend Camille, she is a top level actor and a top level coach. She has done so much for me and continues to help me grow in my career. Thank you Camille! Eternally grateful for you.

Austin (Better Call Saul)

Camille, thanks for helping me understand and enjoy comedy. Now I don’t hate those auditions. You are an amazing coach and my first choice in recommending a coach in California.

Dakota Buchanan (Recurring, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia")

Camille is top notch! I recently was on avail for a show she coached me on. My acting is getting cleaner and more specific. My favorite quality about Camille is how caring she is. She real does care about her actors and their journey. Not only is she my acting coach but some times she doubles as my "industry" therapist haha. Lastly, Camille is a working actress as well, so she knows all the casting offices, she knows the process she knows what it is like. She is one of us which is AMAZING!!!

Tierra Peters (Those Who Can't)

Camille is the absolute best! If you are even the slightest bit hesitant- I can honestly say, take the plunge! Invest in yourself. I am exactly where I want to be heading in my career thanks to Camille's expert guidance! She goes above and beyond to understand your needs as an actor/actress by honing in on strengths and building upon weaker areas. I feel extremely confident having Camille in my corner, her feedback and knowledge invaluable. Camille truly has a knack for coaching and connecting with people, I couldn't recommend her more!

Kelsie Jones

Camille is freaking awesome! She has given me so much time and effort that I actually question whether or not she has a twin doing half her work load because she is so on top of things, including my career! Her energy and work ethic is contagious.

Angelique Robinson

Camille's honesty and knowledge come through the first time you meet her. Over the past 8 months, she has gained my trust and respect and most important, trust and respect from my daughter. She makes her feel comfortable and confident with whatever they are working on. Camille has a way of figuring out what works best for an individuals needs. What my daughter has learned from Camille will never leave her. I will forever be grateful for the recommendation to get my daughter coached by Camille. She will not waste your time or money.

Parent of Geena

Camille is amazing. She is not only extremely smart, but she completely invests in you and your career. I have done several career courses in Los Angeles, but none of them reached my expectations. I found myself throwing money at courses that weren't helpful. I am so happy that I have found Camille. In addition to being a great career coach, she is an awesome acting coach. You leave the session feeling more specific and confident. I highly recommend Camille!

Zachary Margolis (FX Pilot, Gone Hollywood)

Camille, I really enjoy working with you. I like that you are very helpful, and challenge me, and still make it fun. I really appreciate that you are always there if I need you. Thanks for being awesome.

Cory Buchanan (Bella and the Bulldogs)

I refer to her as the queen of comedy. I've known Camille for a few years now and not once has she disappointed me. Her insight on acting is truly fascinating. She is amazing in coaching both comedy & drama but I must say, every time I'm in the room with her for comedy she completely blows my mind. Her technique is impeccable.

Cristina Lizzul (Francis Ford Coppola project)

Camille was extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest. She help me make some strong simple changes to my career. I will be continuing with her services and will be recommending others because this is money well spent.

Derick Anthony

Camille is top notch! I didn't have much to go on when I signed up my daughter for her class except for the reviews on Yelp, and I am pleased to say the great reviews are accurate. Camille is professional, assigns homework, gives honest critiques to the actors (and conveys them to the parents of child actors, as well), and is competitively priced. My child will definitely be working with Camille again in the future.

Parent of Carly B.

Camille is simply the best. I found her when I was a bit lost, unsure of my next step. She has helped me immensely, bringing her piercing intelligence and generous attention to the dreams of her clients. She has helped me define my goals and as a result sharpened my focus on which moves to make. She has already helped me book a meeting with a commercial agent! She's the embodiment of Confucius' sage advice: "The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." I highly recommend her.

George Avalotus (The Outsiders)

Camille is a great coach! She gets comedy like no one else. She knows exactly what beats to linger on and how to deliver any scene. She has extensive knowledge of comedy and knows the appropriate tone for each one scene. Most importantly, we have so much fun coaching the scenes. I would highly suggest her to any actor in LA.

Michelle Macedo (upcoming w/ James Franco "Blood Heist", Recurring "Girl Boss")

Camille is an amazing person and dynamic coach. She knows the business; how to relate the scenes to the individuals, so they understand their character and their delivery. I feel so blessed that we stumbled upon her; my son has had the pleasure of working with such an informative & connected coach. Her solid reviews on Yelp helped make a confusing decision easy and they are ALL true! So thankful for you Camille! You are amazing.

Parent of Micah Giovanni (Upcoming John Travolta Film, Showtime's Black Monday)

About six months after getting my butt to LA, starting my acting career and working with Camille on scene study, the business of acting and just having her mentorship overall - I've got a commercial rep, a manager, demo reel, been to 30+ auditions and booked 6 projects. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for Camille and her co-teachers.

Mei Pak (Better Things, Life is Strange 2)

I would be no where near where I am today if it wasn't for Camille. She gave me headshot req's/prep, introduced me to my agent, and has taught me all about the LA acting game so I can win! Most importantly, above all else, Camille is personable. She makes me feel like I am the only one when we work together. I could not recommend her more.

Izzi Rojas (State Farm, Recurring, Crown Lake, Recurring, Solved)

My life has taken a 180 degree turn since working with the Coaching by Camille team. I came to Los Angeles this summer interning at a Tech PR company... with a secret desire to stay in Los Angeles and pursue my dream of being a film and television actor. A month or so later, I signed with an agent and am now living here! I have to thank Camille's Career Coaching and Branding Services, plus her amazing Scene Study Class. I have attached pictures from an awesome recent headshot session with Huebner Headshots, with styling/branding by Camille. I came across Camille's work through a movie I saw that she worked on, plus through some Instagram scrolling. I had an instinct to reach out, and I am so happy I did! Camille is incredibly savvy about the business as she is incredibly caring about each and every one of her clients. I also work with Zachary in Career Coaching from Team CBC, and he is incredibly savvy as well. You really feel like you are her only client...that is how personalized of an experience she makes it. Not only have I learned a ton about the business side, I have also learned quite a few things about script analysis. Camille has a knack for reading a script like a piece of music. I also love is that in her Scene Study class, she personalizes the additional reading assignments! It's an incredible honour and pleasure to be working with your team. I have referred Camille to many people, and I've heard their great feedback about working with her. I'll continue to be back, and with more referrals in tow!

Sarah Jean (Crush Friday)

Camille is everything you want in an actor coach. Her feedback is honest, thoughtful and caring. She knows how to thoughtfully breakdown a scene and help you find the strongest choice possible to make sure you book the room. I strongly recommend Camille whether you are a beginner or a seasoned actor. She rocks!!

Christoper Michael (Sex Sent Me to the ER)

Camille is a Great coach! She honestly cares about you and knows what she is doing. Definitely my go to. She will have you booking rooms in no time. If you are prepared and ready to work even better. She is Awesome. She is Funny. She is Sharp. She is prepared. She is Affordable! Highly recommend!

Anthony Wells (Wait Crimes)

I set up a session with Camille to prepare for a huge agent and casting director showcase. She really helped me master my material, and she even helped me figure out my branding as an actor. I really liked the fact that she's a working actor herself and knows the ins and outs of the industry, because your acting coach (whomever he or she may be) should be up-to-date with the happenings of this perpetually changing industry.

Kimmy Hittelman (Looking Glass w/ Nicolas Cage)

Camille is amazing at getting to the heart of a piece and fine tuning your work. She has this awesome ability to breakdown scenes and suggest choices that complement the character you're playing AND fit your specific personality. Whenever I go in for a coaching anxious or unsure, I always come out feeling confident and empowered!

Melanie Padernal (Bernard and Huey w/ Mae Whitman)

Camille is an amazing acting coach! Since taking her class I have become so much more confident in my acting. She provides you with feedback and really takes an interest in your career. I look forward to continuing classes with Camille and could not recommend a better acting coach!

Ashley Simonson

Since training with Camille, I've locked down a professional agent, gone to dozens of auditions, booked a handful of projects and built a solid foundation in acting (keep in mind I've only been acting for 5 months). I've also had the privilege to train with Mark Scheibmeir (through Coaching by Camille)... AMAZING instructor with tons of experience and insight. Take lessons with him if you get the chance! So much great text analysis and clarity in his teaching.

Kevin Tran

Working with Sue-Kate, Camille and Ron has truly opened my daughter’s skills as a young actor. Emily always walks out of class smiling, confident and ready. Emily has been taking classes for a couple of years, but this is the first time she has talked about “comedic turn”, “fourth wall”, “high stakes character”, etc. Before a commercial audition, she does warm ups that Ron taught her and she has been called back to 4/4 of her last commercial auditions, so I know it’s just a matter of time until she books one. I have seen such a growth in Emily’s acting since she started coaching with Sue Kate and Camille. I feel like each student truly gets attention, focus, and immediate feedback and direction. I am so glad I found Camille, Sue-Kate and Ron – Hollywood’s best kept secret.

Parent of Emily Muggelton (Sesame Street)

Camille is a consummate professional and stellar coach.  She is perceptive, encouraging and critical when necessary.  Her intelligence, warmth and talent are a rare combination in this business.  If I could give her six stars, I would!

Parent of Laura Sgambetti (Disney Princess Parody Series)

Camille’s class helped me get my bearings back in the pursuit of happiness, aka: my acting/writing/artistic path. Camille’s energy is contagious and her support invaluable. It is a privilege to witness first hand how her experienced guidance can transform performances from “good” to “amazing!”. Camille and her guest teacher Austin provide the in depth approach, the honest feed back, and the caring coaching style that is helpful to the growth of all actors from novices to seasoned stage veterans.

Odette Leonelli

Camille is a POWERHOUSE. I sat down with her and within 5 minutes she had convincingly explained (and I am not easily convinced) that I had been marketing myself entirely wrong and my headshots do not represent my actual personality-- my biggest selling point! How did she know this so quickly? She's really perceptive AND she had already done a full review of all my materials before our meeting. Yup. She rocks. FIVE-STARS.

Thomas Ronca (You Can Do Better)

Camille is amazing! I had private acting coaching with Camille and she exceeded my expectations. First off I was late due to some unforeseen circumstances and she still gave me the full hour. She genuinely cares as a person and is the sweetest. She went above and beyond to even research the writer and director of the film I was doing a self tape audition for. She gave me an accurate background on the story behind the film and gave me a better picture of the film. Camille taught me a lot about myself as an actress. She offered fresh and refreshing perspectives on the character and gave lots of insight on the role. She was able to guide me on the slight nuances and hidden meanings of the lines. She helped me understand the character's intentions and thoughts. I truly appreciate all her wisdom and expertise!!

Jenny Ke (13 Reasons Why)

Not only is Camille the most caring and passionate acting coach I have ever had, she has gotten me to a point where I feel like I am ready and prepared to take on anything in the acting world, full force. It's amazing how far I have come in 7-8 months working with Camille. From class, to career coaching and headshot styling, I honestly don't trust anyone else. When I first began acting a few years ago, I had only consumed the thought of doing it as a hobby/ stress reliever, but in the past few months, acting has quickly progressed into my dream. Without the guidance and assistance of Camille, I don't know where I would be. She truly cares for her students and really wants to see them succeed. All of my classmates (and Camille) are so talented, pure and there for the right reasons-- which makes class so much more exciting and passionate. I feel honored to get to work with someone who is as talented and amazing as she is every week. She always knows the right things to say, and knows exactly how to say them. She is so intelligent and constructive, yet so caring and kind-hearted. Since working with Camille, I have progressed so much and I have never been so proud of my craft. She has encouraged me to continuously love myself, as well as my work unconditionally, and I can't thank her enough. Literally.. I think she is annoyed with how many times I text/email her saying "thank you for everything" every session. Taking this class with Camille is a true blessing. I feel so fortunate to work with someone who knows this business so well. You won't regret working with Camille. It's the best money I have ever spent. PS Camille, hope you aren't sick of me yet because I'll be around for a very long time :)

Chloe Kelleher (First Time Tinder)

Camille is, first and foremost, an incredible person. I legitimately want to pay her just to have lunch with me and hang out. She has been instrumental in getting my confidence back and so encouraging to be proactive in my own career. I came to Camille in tears about where my acting career has gone (or hasn't) and so overwhelmed about where to start getting it back on track. In our chats, she gives homework that feels doable -- actionable bits that I can tackle and she's amazing about holding me accountable for the homework.

Bailey Parks (Rough Love)

Camille has been amazing. I ALWAYS feel like she is going above and beyond with her time and expertise. She walked me through the whole process to make sure my headshot session would get every look I wanted. AND she shopped for me, to help me find a few needed looks!! Name someone who will do that for you in L.A.?! I'll wait...

Janice E. Hughes (1989)

Camille guided me and helped me achieve success that I could never have done in such a short time without her. She picks up on everything and knows how to explain a choice or an idea in really tangible ways that help you play and grow beyond what I have ever had in a class before. SHE GENUINELY CARES. She's helped me now with Headshots (prep and finding artists) she has coached me and sent me to Agents. But she's also a human who will write you just to check in and knows that taking care of yourself is top priority. But she will also be honest when it's necessary. 10/10 would recommend!

Rose Mina

When your daughter says she wants to be an actor and you know nothing about the industry, where do you start? Fortunately we found Camille, and from the very start her advice has saved us from spending what could be ridiculous amounts of money! Camille is a wonderful guide through this uncertain and tough business. I'm more comfortable now that she's on the team.

Parent of Miranda Melhado

I have been working with Camille doing private coaching for a few months now and I couldn't be happier to have found her! She has already helped me grow so much as an actor, allowing me to be more comfortable in the audition room. Her coaching has been pivotal for me and I am already so grateful for all that she has helped me with. I have definitely gotten more auditions and better headshots (her career coaching option) since I have started to work with her. I would highly recommend working with Camille. She is a professional, proficient, and very helpful acting coach. As I said before, I'm very pleased I found her and that I'm working with her.

Elizabeth Kahn (Wilson)

Thanks! I can't get over how much better the demos you edited for me are.

Haley Kotch (Patient Seven)

One of the best coaches I've ever had!! Just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done for me. You wouldn't believe how much you helped. Thank you! Camille you're the best.

Andrew You

I wish someone told me about hiring a career coach 10 years ago. EVERYONE is trying to MAKE IT. Smart Investment in our dreams and finding the “right” people to help, is vital. The best thing I decided to do was to get a career coach who would guide me in all the things nobody tells you are at your reach. I am so grateful to have had Camille and her team as my guiding angels in this game. I took Scene Study AND Career Coaching with her to see our works into fruition. Trust me when I say, you’ll instantly find a true, honest friend with knowledge of this industry, plus a genuine teacher/coach.

Suanny Serpas

Thank you so much for being such a phenomenal mentor.

Yana Sheuko

Camille has been integral to keeping my fire lit for the last year and a half. Not only is she wonderfully thoughtful with the time of her clients, and frugal almost to a fault ;), she is also a stellar guiding light when it comes to getting in touch with one's inner self. Most coaches and teachers either go all out with spirituality *or* practicality, I have rarely met one who uses both so adeptly. Camille makes the work sustainable, she reminds you to take care of yourself, and she has a sharp and intelligent eye for what is current. I am endlessly grateful to have her in my life.

Sawyer Fuller

Camille was the gem I never knew I needed -- literally, like a miner striking gold. I suddenly felt wealthy and supported. Camille's years of industry insight is absolutely invaluable. This became most apparent when she coached me through the business ropes of the industry and gave me the confidence to land great representation. When private coaching with Camille, it shocks me how many times she is able to fill in gaps or moments in a script that I have missed. And you can tell she has a great sense of what works and what doesn't, even if it isn't explainable. The best part, besides her kickass resume, is her experience as a woman of color. Being one myself, I felt welcomed and seen on a level that I'm not able to get with most coaches. She cuts the bullshit, even if it isn't conventional, and truly cares about her clients (often sending them good luck messages or checking in). Camille gets the job done!

Sydney Veronica Lee

The specificity of your feedback is always so, so good. You expect a lot (which is awesome) but it’s great to see you scale your feedback to to top of everyone’s game, wherever that is.

Stephanie Jameson (Glee)

Once you sent the playback, I immediately showed my girlfriend. We both got teary! She was so proud of me and mentioned how great of a coach you are. Thank you Camille!

Erick Inestroza (Mitú)

Thank you Camille! I got the pictures back and I love them. I really appreciate you pushing me to take risks and lean into my character actress vibe! You went above and beyond with styling and it really paid off in the wardrobe and photos. I'm really grateful for your time and expertise and am so happy I did the styling.

Anna Gion

I was new to LA, I am so grateful I found Camille! Camille went over and above. Because of her help, I signed with two agencies in only a few months! She is a great communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and I really felt like she had my back and genuinely cared about my success. I am so much more confident taking on LA than I was in the beginning.

Heather Meza (Second City Chicago, House Team)

Camille's attention to detail, organization, and commitment to her clients is UNMATCHED. Not only does Camille create a supportive and caring class environment for everyone involved but she gives extremely meticulous notes and really pushes you to be the best actor you can be. Camille also provides the class with tools and resources to help with progressing our careers. These tools and resources are almost as valuable as the acting notes themselves and have helped me take huge advances in my acting journey. Everyone I've been in the scene study class with has not only been extremely talented but also incredibly kind and supportive.

Ryan Koo (Actor, Standup, Comedy)

Camille private coached me for an audition I previously taped and felt very confident in, but boy was I wrong. After working with her, I noticed in my previous self tape, that I was pushing and so over planned that it looked like I was "acting/performing" rather than really living in the moment. I am so grateful to have worked with her as I now feel like I'm coming from a place of authenticity rather than living in my head. I feel many mentors in Los Angeles either tell you what you want to hear but that never gets you anywhere, or are bitter and have an aggressive manner that serves only to lift themselves up, but leaves no room for growth, only low self esteem to the actor. Camille's manner is honest and fierce, that I personally find what is missing in a lot of coaches. Camille also has a way she works that you actually understand her notes and feedback. She doesn't come across that you need her for every self tape and would be lost without her, which I feel like many coaches do in order to keep clients for $$. Camille gives you the tools to be confident so you can work on your own.

Dennice Cisneros

CAMILLE!  I am speechless thank you so so much. [Client] loved working with you, and the tapes came out fantastic as expected!

Queer UP Talent Agency

For the first time, I've met someone that I can confidently say will nurture and COMPLETELY CHANGE the way you not only view acting, but yourself.​ ​Camille is a must see! She taps into a level of heart building, fun, and vulnerability that allows you to be YOU boldly and unapologetically.​ She's blunt, fun and truly someone that understands how to not only THRIVE, but SURVIVE in the industry.​ For the first time, I've met someone that I can confidently say will nurture and COMPLETELY CHANGE the way you not only view acting, but yourself.​ ​Camille is a must see!

I've seen DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT that is truly so exciting and unbelievable. ​I am so grateful that she is not only patient, but encouraging no matter where you are in your acting. She has so much experience, she really loves what she does, and her work is heartfelt.
