Sharon's process has given me a sustainable structure that balances unfettered imagination and exploration with focus and specificity. I now have freedom to be confident and authentic as actor, storyteller, and human.

Sharon is everything one would need in an acting teacher. Smart, concise, and caring, but most of all she is clear.

Baron Kelly, actor and acting teacher

Sharon opened my eyes as an actor. She guides actors out of their comfort zones, allowing them to open up and listen. Dr. Carnicke is a breath of fresh air in a world of method madness, and she is paving the way to a powerful future of acting.

Teena Pugliese, actor and filmmaker

Carnicke’s Studio has given my acting and choreographic work a 180 degree turn around. It has both deepened and simplified my teaching approach to both these art forms.

F. Lynn McMurrey, Professor Emeritus of Dance, GCC

Her class TRANSFORMED my understanding of acting and how I approach it. My brain got a 2.0 upgrade just by taking her class. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE CARNICKE.

A/A teaches you to think on your feet, because it throws ideas on their feet without talking them to death. You develop the ability to see the scene in various ways and unlock options that would otherwise have been overlooked in the process of day to day rehearsal and line reads.
