Working with John Gordon over the years has taken me from a hopeful actor to a working actor. He was able to bring out a confidence and trust in my work that I wasn’t able to realize on my own.
He’s always the first person I recommend taking an acting class from and he will undoubtedly up your craft.

I had a very short notice for my Kim’s Convenience audition and immediately called John. He challenged me to dig deeper into the scenes and reminded me to slow down and work moment-to-moment. He gave me the confidence to trust my instincts and truly bring myself to the work.
There are so many reasons why I continue to study with John but what I have found most useful over the years is simple: it really is a class. You aren’t prescribed what your ‘type’ is or given material according to your ‘hit’. John works with each individual and offers guidance to help actors find a process that is entirely their own. He creates a room full of curiosities and humour where you are given space to learn and grow, a space where “failing” is celebrated. The goal is always toward finding truthfulness while breathing and playing with your heart wide open.
