“I came here because I wanted to be an actress. I also wanted to know what it was like in an acting school and what famous people went through if they went to acting school.Anyways I thought Charisma studios was one of the best experiences in my life, It was really fun, Miss. Karli is really nice and cool. So is Mr.Brent. If you come here you will have a great time everyone gets along. We get to do commercials and scenes! It was really cool! I would definitely come back again.”

Dana Gordon

“This class is amazing! Miss Karli is a lot of fun! I am so glad my mom signed me up for this! By the way Miss Karli is our teacher.”

Monish Bista

“I went to Charisma Studios through the assistantship program. I learned many things that I would have never imagined. I had been in an acting class before, but never like Charisma Studios. The class in Charisma Studios was smaller in number and more fun. There was more one-on-one time with the teacher. Everyone in the studio was like a family. We learned from the best. Besides being a friend, co-worker, and like a sister to me Karli is the best teacher I have ever had. She makes learning fun and interactive.

With being a college student and having a full-time job, there are many things that are going in my life. Being in Charisma Studios is just that break I needed from everyday life, and that time I spend learning at the Charisma Studios gave me the knowledge not only for acting, but even through everyday life. I am more confident in myself at work, school, and even on and off camera. Thank you! Karli and Charisma Studio! I am definitely coming back for more.”

Adia Reid

“Charisma Studios is the answer. It’s different and cool. My mother saw improvement in my acting and personality in just 3 days. If you’re looking for a place you can feel safe, have fun, but still be serious…Charisma Studios is the place to be!”

Jerremy Fleischmann

“Coming to Charisma Studios, I didn’t have any acting experience. Acting was something I really wanted to try, but I didn’t have thousands of dollars to spend on classes. So Charisma Studios was a perfect fit for me. It lets you try, and learn the business of acting a lot, and I would like to thank Charisma Studios for all their help.”

Jaylan Donaldson

“You’ll have a great time at Charisma Studios. Miss Karli has a great teaching style and she will teach everything and she’s fun and cool. She will enable that inner actor, producer, director, and editor in you.”

Olivia Mahony

“I think you should try Charisma Studios because Miss Karli is crazy and cool. You can also learn a lot like acting and it is also really fun.”

Kris Augustine

“You learn a lot and you have fun and meet new friends. We play games, and we learn ways to warm up. You get to work with a real director/camera operator.”
