Clare McCann is definitely more than a triple threat ! Sings, acts, and dances also directing films and videos. And she brings a star quality that one can’t complete with. Her passion and art brings out her enduring positive drive that she has shown and pass out to all of her admiring loving fans. It makes us all want to push harder and strive even harder as she has done for herself in so many ways. Diamond in the rough already shining bright !

I’m voting for Clare McCann. She is a young, vibrant actress with so much potential. Clare has some of the strongest ambitions I have come across in the industry. Clare is devoted to her craft as an actress – she is also devoted to creating new and inspiring works. Her short films have already been a great success.
If you need any further persuasion – look no further!!
VOTE for CLARE Most Promising Actresses Of The Month – and in my opinion, for many more to come!
Clare McCann is definitely one to watch. Not only an INCREDIBLE actress but a triple threat with that amazing voice & those moves! So many great things have come from this beautiful actress & I can’t WAIT to see what she does next! TEAM CLARE!
Clare.! Cannot wait to see her theatre performances!
A very talented group of actresses but Clare McCann stands out to me by far 😉
Clare McCann… you are not only the Most Promising Actress of the Month but of the year! Your dazzling performances in all the numerous films you have been doing recently are simply astonishing. Loved Mirror Girl but your role as all the Disney Princesses in the short film you did, Fantasy, were just amazing. Cannot wait to see your theatre shows and whatever you do next.
Look out world for Miss Clare McCann
