Carolyn Pickman is the director of The Studio and the cofounder and current president of CP Casting Inc. She is a member of Screen Actors Guild & Casting Society of America. Carolyn has won numerous casting awards for feature films, including The Departed (2006), Gone Baby Gone (2007), Shutter Island (2010), Mystic River (2003), Good Will Hunting (1997), The Crucible (1996), and Mystic Pizza (1988).
She has performed professionally in plays, soap operas, TV, and films; and since the late 70's has taught professional and nonprofessional adults and teens, acting and auditioning skills. Along with the work she does at The Studio, she is currently an Adjunct Professor at Suffolk University working with Media and Theater Department students. This class, On Camera Acting, has been a successful addition to the TA curriculum at Suffolk for 5 years.
She's often invited to teach workshops throughout the New England area at performing arts schools, centers and universities. A partial list of these workshops and seminars includes: Boston University, Boston College, Trinity Conservatory, R.I Film Collaborative, Bridgewater State, Brandeis University, Boston Arts Academy, Dorchester Youth Collaborative, Emerson College, Woods Hole and Provincetown Film Festivals and the ART Conservatory.
Carolyn's expertise in teaching comes from years of designing practical, learnable, techniques that enable actors to understand the audition process and make significant choices for cinematic acting. Her "Getting Started in the Business of Acting" workshop was the first in Boston to inform new actors on how the business works. This popular seminar has motivated over a thousand people to take a first step towards an exciting new path.
As a student at Emerson, she began her acting career at the Theatre Company of Boston. Later she started teaching as a founding member of the Theatre Company's School Touring Company. This bi-racial company was created during the anti-busing years to relieve racial tension and introduce Arts in Education into the then turbulent Boston Public High School system.
