Welcome to the Hartt & Soul Studio website.
Cathryn Hartt is a highly sought-after personal acting coach, life consultant and motivator who believes that acting training can serve as a tool that goes far beyond professional acting applications. Ms. Hartt, a Juilliard graduate whose first student was her sister, Morgan Fairchild, has found that her acting techniques have helped her throughout her own life far beyond professional acting performances. She believes that the same techniques that honed her skills onstage also empowered her as a human being through confidence, compassion, and freeing her creative spirit, as well as communications skills that can enhance any business.
Benefit from a mentor who has worked as a professional actor in Dallas, L.A. and N.Y.C. for over 52 years.
Ms. Hartt is known for her deep one-on-one communication and small, personalized classes and motivational training.
Hartt & Soul is a highly-personalized acting and performance studio that provides the highest quality professional training through private sessions and avocational applications through small group sessions. Cathryn Hartt uses all of the same coaching techniques that she uses in New York City and Los Angeles. The synergy of combining Stanislavsky technique, on-camera feedback, and her own unique, personal techniques and lessons from the real world have made Ms. Hartt one of the most sought-after coaches in the region.
If you are going to train, train with the best! ”Whatever your personal or business needs are – in acting, motivation, speaking, performing, auditioning or social or business confidence - my goal is to bring out the best in you!” — Cathryn Hartt –
Ms. Hartt offers personal in-depth coaching in multiple entertainment and theatrical disciplines in all areas of acting, including character and scene work, stage, film and television, interview and audition techniques, audience and performance skills, personal style development and public relations skills, sales techniques and communications, goal training, as well as an inspirational look inward for those seeking self-discovery and rediscovery of the inner spirit.
Ms. Hartt uses her intuition to open the doors to the positive best of you.
Ms. Hartt is known for going very deep with people. She uses her highly-sensitive intuitive powers to assess each student and give each the courage to take huge steps past the negative that blocks him or her and to step into the positive areas of empowerment and fulfillment. Whether it is an acting breakthrough or personal one, it is powerful. Ms. Hartt works on the whole package… creativity, human spirit or material goals. All are tied together when working optimally. Classes are kept small so that Ms. Hartt can work on many levels at the same time. It is not unusual to laugh in one moment and uncover the depths of your soul in the next in her class. Creativity is a flow between the best of all worlds that dwell within and without. What is technique without happiness and fulfillment?
Where do you fit? Private professional one-on-one coaching or small, fun avocational sessions,classes or camps ?
Ms. Hartt has been in the acting profession for forty-five years. She has trained many professional actors and gives private one-on-one direction for specific auditions and performances, as well as, location coaching and corporate communications training. But she has found that everyone comes to her for different reasons. Thus, Ms. Hartt specializes in creating the right training for everyone. She employs technique, experience and intuition to personally connect with each client’s personal needs. She encourages the use of actor’s training for avocational enjoyment and applications to all areas of life.
Acting training isn’t just for professional actors…it’s for anyone who wants to be at his/her best!
Her groups have included professional trial attorneys, moms who need a little free time for themselves, salesmen, anyone with a lack of belief in themselves, folks repackaging themselves in the job market, teens finding their own style, shy kids or adults, executives gaining better leadership skills, professional motivational speakers, salesmen. telemarketers, anyone setting goals to succeed, writers, comedians, singers, ice skaters, beauty pageant contestants, people putting together their own TV pilots, one person shows, kids with school projects, directors who want a better understanding of the actor’s mind, teachers, kids with ADD or learning disabilities, folks trying to find themselves, people on spiritual jounces, adults who acted a little in high school and want to try it again, people who never explored their creative side because someone told them they shouldn’t, many looking to build social or business confidence and people who just want to make a change in their lives and need to set themselves free. Folks can just come to have fun too! It’s a great place to share time with like-minded people in an atmosphere of creativity, trust and encouragement. Come and let Ms. Hartt connect to your special needs.
It “ain’t” called Hartt & Soul for nothing!
Ms. Hartt’s definition of acting is: “to share your heart deeply with another human being.” Getting in touch with your creative state, where subconscious and conscious work equally, puts you in a very fearless, fulfilled, clear place. That is where you must go to act and create. But it turns out to be a great place to go to study, make good business choices and to appreciate the simple beauties of life. Ms. Hartt incorporates using everything you’ve got in creating, setting goals and clearly defining what you want and how to get there.
“The reason that I was an actress all of my life was that I loved communicating deeply with others. That is why I love coaching too. I had some extraordinary mentors as a child. They not only taught me acting…they taught me how to step into another person’s shoes and gain compassion, to be disciplined, to respect everyone, to really ‘see’ the world with all of my senses, that every mistake was just a way to make something special and to give with all my heart each moment. My mother, who was an amazing teacher, taught me to hold my head up high no matter how much others did not understand me and to see what was special about each person and to encourage him/her to be that person in my presence.
I have learned that the greatest thrill in life and in creativity is to awaken another to see the ordinary and extraordinary in each moment. Each moment offers everything: the best and the worst. Focus on the one you want for yourself. I encourage each to believe and to never say “no” to yourself. There is always a way to get to your true goal.
It’s payback time for all those who gave to me.. That is why I am here to teach you. You don’t need to be famous to be a star…you just have to shine bright. There are many ways to fly!” Cathryn Hartt.
