"[Catherine]
is a theatre artist and teacher of the
very highest rank. She has provided
practical help and real expressive power
to so many fine actors. She is a warm,
gentle, compassionate teacher with a sense
of humor, devotion to her charges, and
passion for her work."
--
Frank Galati, Tony Award-winning Director,
Associate Director, Goodman
Theatre |

"Catherine is a dynamic and inventive teacher and vocal coach. She has been
on the cutting edge of developing new approaches to the teaching of voice
and speech."
--
Elisabeth Orion, Director, Former Head, School of Drama,
Carnegie Mellon University

"Catherine
is amazing at not setting herself up as a 'guru,' and dispelling participants' tendency to put all the power and answers of the work on her, rather than looking for it inside themselves."
