“Working with John has been a real eye opener. The way he reaches an actor is unique and personally tailored. He really pours himself into his students — investing in their growth and challenging them when needed. I have had many breakthroughs in my own acting since beginning to study with him in October 2008. I’ve become much more rooted in, more trusting of my own internal compass, and more aware of what roles are bang-on for me. Studying with John has had an affect on the business side of acting as well. I am much more confident and I’ve finally stopped trying to get the folks on the other side of the table to “like” me. I now walk into the room, show them what I can do and then leave it there. I’m not consumed with the guessing game of being liked. I book more jobs now than ever before. John has helped me to get out of my own way. I am forever grateful.”
