“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.”

Jasper Lewis

“Simply put I love working with John, in any capacity.  I’ve worked with him as a fellow actor and as his director.  In each situation, he is professional, passionate, fun and kind. He goes above and beyond. His performances are grounded, nuanced and woven expertly with heart and humor.

I’ve also loved working with him as a writer.  His comedy punch up of my feature, which he also starred in, was invaluable and brought so much to the world.  The feature script he wrote is still one of my favorite scripts that I’ve read. He knows character and storytelling inside and out.”

America Young

“John helped me dramatically increase the amount of auditions and callbacks AND I booked my first co-star since I started working with him. True story! I was unaware there was a specific audition process until I met John. The first thing I do when I get an audition is contact John for an audition coaching session. Learning this process and working with John has been a total game changer”
