Testimonials
“I can’t give a compliment higher than calling someone the “real deal”. That’s exactly who John is. Not only is he knowledgeable about all aspects of the business, but he will get you ready for those big auditions. (You know, those auditions that you need to have up to competitive, producer standards.) He will give you the confidence to bring the real you to the work. And it doesn’t hurt that he laughs at all your lame jokes. 5/5 stars”
“John has been my audition coach for a couple months now and I have never felt more confident with the tapes I have sent in since meeting him. He is caring, supportive, and so much fun to work with“
“In addition to the valuable insight that John has from his own work as an actor, he is exceptionally mindful of your personal goals. I joined class and said, “I love paraphrasing and being loose with the script, so I want (read: need) to work on word perfect auditions.” John heard that and when I’m working he watches what I say like a hawk! But in a very supportive way! If you tell him there’s something specific you want to improve on, he remembers.”
