If you are looking for a class that’ll teach you how to actually book the auditions you go on, you’ve found it with John. He and his staff understand how the business works and give material in class that prepares you for what you’ll experience in the audition room. No matter what skill level you are currently at, John will elevate it. Aside from being a great acting teacher, he’s also a great human. I’m happy to be able to lean on him when I need help with work and even happier that I can now also call him a friend. Do yourself a favor and sign up for classes immediately if you want your career to change.

I became a working actor when I started studying with John. Upon meeting John, he made me quickly realize that I was investing my time and energy in all the wrong places and if I really wanted to be an actor, I needed to be willing to risk not having a day job so I could make acting my full-time career. So I took a leap of faith, quit all my other jobs, and started taking class with John. I struggled. I felt like I was doing terrible work. But throughout it all, John was there to be my teacher and my friend. He surrounded me with other actors that supported each other, and helped me build a structure for my work that regardless of whether or not I got the job, or lost the job, I had a home base to come back to. I am a working actor because John, his staff, and my classmates stood by me and helped me believe in myself and the work that I am capable of. John gave me the gift of lifting the weight of feeling like I had to do everything on my own and it has made all the difference.
