Acting

Kara Silvestri is an actor, singer-songwriter, and filmmaker based between New Jersey and New York City. A performer at heart, she moves fluidly between screen and stage—bringing the same emotional honesty to a character as she does to her own songs.

On screen, Kara has carried leading roles across film and music videos. She starred as the lead in Cassie and the Wildcats (dir. Caleb Washington) and has appeared in her own original music videos, including War, In The Stars, and Rose Colored Lenses, in addition to a supporting role in Murder? I Hardly Know Her at the School of Visual Arts.

Her craft is grounded in dedicated training. Kara studied through the Ultimate Performer Program in Los Angeles and The Project Class at the School of Visual Arts, earning honors in Film Directing & Performance Studies under mentors Bob Giraldi and Natasha Soto-Albors, alongside private vocal training with Alison Bolshoi and artist development with Roxie Francis.

As a vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, Kara performs live throughout New Jersey and New York City, including opening for Drake Bell at the House of Independents in Asbury Park, participating in the NJ PATH Performs program, and appearing in a range of benefit and showcase concerts. Her skills span singing and songwriting across pop, country, rock, and indie genres, as well as on-camera hosting, interviewing, improvisation, and dance—an artist equally at home in front of the camera and on stage.
