I rediscovered my confidence working with John. He creates an environment that is at once safe yet challenging, inspiring and fun. I greatly admire John’s simple and honest approach to teaching. He is supportive without mincing words. John respects actors. He cares about your work and finds joy in your successes. Some days, it is tough to feel like an actor. Leaving John’s class, that is never in question.

John’s class was my first introduction to scene study on camera. I was quite nervous and pretty convinced that I wasn’t cut out for film work. But John has this amazing gift that he brings into the room – a confident and relaxed demeanor that made me feel like I could do anything. He knew exactly what to say to both empower me, and to encourage me to take risks. In John’s class, I always felt creatively challenged and stimulated, and safe enough to fail boldly!
