“I have done shows with Charlotte Academy of Music (CAM) for almost two years now and the growth I have had as a performer is irreplaceable. The auditions for the musicals are so relaxed and the first time I ever auditioned I felt so supported and comfortable. The SHINE Musical Theatre program that CAM offers is so inclusive and as an individual I have gained so much and grown so much as far as confidence, vocal improvement, and even as an actor.
CAM meets you right where you are in terms of skills and experience and you learn and grow so much even if it’s just a short amount of time. I have learned to truly get to know the characters that I have played and learned how to think like the character. I have participated in Annie Jr, Beauty and the Beast jr, Matilda jr, and The Wizard of Oz I most recently went to Junior Theatre Festival (JTF) Atlanta with CAM and it such was an unforgettable experience. I had so much fun on the trip and it gave me experiences with actual people that have been on Broadway. Every show I have done leaves me with such amazing memories and I’ve built such a close relationship with all of my peers. I definitely plan on continuing my musical theatre journey with CAM. Over the amount of time I’ve been with the company I have built amazing friendships and connections with people.
Everyone has an equal opportunity at bringing their skills to the table and getting to shine. I can’t even begin to express how much I would recommend this company. The directors are so supportive and are amazing at what they do and they support us not only as performers but also as individuals. They hold us to a higher standard so it pushes us to always strive for our best and grow stronger as performers and people. The owner Mrs. Regina goes above and beyond for each and every one of us and is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She truly cares about every student and person that walks through the studio doors. Everyone at CAM is so incredibly kind and loves what they do and I would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone wanting to perform and build a community.”
