In Oct. Julianna filmed two USC student films in which she
was the lead. She also is the lead in an independent feature film which filmed
in L.A. and Texas. She was able to put into practice so much of what you have
taught her- even crying on cue! Everyone seems so shocked that she actually memorizes
all the lines and puts something into them without having to be specifically coached
each time. It's just utilizing what she's learned in your classes! We so appreciate
your teaching and the more we experience, the more we realize just how exceptional
you are. We are so blessed to be one of your students! We're looking forward to
a great set of classes between now and Feb. Thanks!

"Andy,
the director of the film 'The Guardian' with Ashton Kutcher, praised Bryce on
how great he thought he was. He asked who his acting coach was, and of course
we said Cathryn Sullivan. In fact, they added another scene with Bryce and Ashton.
It was a wonderful experience, and I am really happy that Bryce had this great
opportunity. Most importantly, as we were leaving the director came up to me and
told me to thank you, his acting coach, because he could see the consistency in
Bryce — it showed how much Bryce enjoyed doing this. VERY EXCITING! I'm
happy to share this with you Cathryn."

"Two
years ago when we came to L.A., everyone was crazy about Sophia, my 6-year-old,
and just so-so about Celeste, my 9-year-old. We took Celeste to the agent when
we got here, and Matt Fletcher with ACME said, "WOW! Celeste is ready!"
There has been a big change in her acting ability, and I didn't see it until we
got out here. I know it is all because of your class. Something suddenly clicked
for her. Thanks so much for sharing your time and knowledge and offering such
great classes for kids!"

"Wanted
to let you know we just got the call from CESD about meeting with Joey Paul and
the producers. We are SO EXCITED! We're meeting with Marc Warren and Dennis
Rinsler. You probably already know them from 'That's So Raven,' and they also
did 'Full House' (which Madison watches constantly!) This is so exciting!
My heart is racing! I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks Cathryn!"

"I wanted to thank you VERY
much for taking your time to work with Bryce. He has really grown in your class
and even with all the craziness (with his age group), you always seem to give
everyone that special attention. Sometimes in our busy lives we fail to thank
those who contribute to our success, and I wanted you to know that Bryce and I
thank you for giving your time and helping him grow in this endeavor."
Terry Cass
"Thank you for the Mitchell Gossett
seminar and doing so much to help the Texas youth in the industry. In regards
to your students, I don't have to tell you how awesome they are, but I will. THEY
ARE AWESOME - you should be very proud. I was a children's theatre director and
theatre acting coach and worked with an average of 400 children a year. I would
have loved to have had your kids in my productions - they not only have skill,
they have passion! I am amazed at their ability to focus and to be proud of each
other's success."

"Cole
will be shooting his first movie Home Erectus: The Caveman Comedy in Austin. Thanks
for all your hard work with Cole to get him to this point! He wouldn't have gotten
this movie without you!"

"You have really contributed so greatly
to the lives of all your students... I've seen Cameron grow a lot since coming
to your class last year as a 5-year-old, and she is very excited to get back to
class."

"Once again,
WOW! Thank you for your special way of working with Haley. You are blessed with
the gift to teach and grow your students! I try, but I cannot come close to helping
her prepare for the scenes. Thank you!"
Debbie W. Hughey
"Lanie
was chosen to be on a reality Improv TV show. She did great! ... I really believe
all the work you did with her, got her this role! Thank you! I really enjoy your
teaching, you show the kids how great they are, and give them confidence!"
Theresa Taylor
"This is Josh Blaylock. I just
wanted to tell you that I booked a co-starring roll for the Burnie Mac Show! I
am really excited. Thank you for all the stuff you taught me. I used it and it
worked!"
Josh Blaylock
"This year
has started off with such a blessing for Cameron. He got a call back on an animation
project, he booked a biblical film, and now he's a Radio Disney kid. Please know
that Cameron's success is a reflection of your training."

"Neiman Marcus catalog asked Breuer back again
and said that he will be on the cover for this next one ... this is where you
come in Cathryn. They told me that they can always tell when they are working
with professional actors, instead of just models. Then they told him that he takes
direction extremely well, and has facial expressions unlike any child they have
worked with ... ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! Thank you for inspiring, teaching and caring
about Breuer! What a special gift to be a teacher, and to touch the lives of our
children! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do!"
