Speak Friend is owned and operated by spouses Kris Carr and Logan Pietz,
who have wildly differing backgrounds when it comes to their performance training.

Our Team

Kris Carr

Type A Kris received her BA in Communications with a focus in Rhetorical Criticism from Saint Edward’s University and worked in corporate communications before shifting to acting full-time. She started in Houston’s theatre scene and working on-camera in commercials before falling in love with voice acting through dubbing anime characters and voicing major brands.  Kris brings not only a working actor perspective to her coaching and demo production, but a business focused mindset as well; encouraging you to be the CEO of your acting career. Despite what Logan says, she insists she says “Y’all” just the right amount.

Logan Pietz

Logan is an actor through and through, with a traditional training track.  He received his BA in Acting from University of Nebraska’s Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film where he focused extensively in dialect work, specifically the sounds of the UK.  A seasoned stage actor, Logan made the transition to film and television after moving to LA. He’s been seen in numerous independent films and national commercials, and his voice work includes video games like Little Knights and Blade & Soul. His true passion lies in helping actors nail the authenticity and regional specificity of dialects. And Pokémon. Dude loves Pokémon.
