“I successfully got through to an agency that wants to take me onboard🎉 When I met them in person, they initially mentioned that I may need to take a self-tape class; I mentioned that I’d been working on perfecting my tapes, so they had me submit a home tape. In viewing it, they waived my need for additional classes and told me it was “great, personable, and believable” which is a direct result of my work in your class!! So excited to continue growing in this industry, and I’m so grateful to have learned from YOU on my journey!”
“Outstanding experience, every possible way. Thank you for your generous spirit and positive feedback. You’re an incredibly kind person . You are as likable as you’re talented. ”
“I learned so much from you and your course. I just freaking booked my first non-union lead commercial role! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your beautiful course was exactly what I needed to establish a foundation from which I could build.”
“Joe, thank you! You’re fantastic. So good with the kids. So good at what you do. So relatable. ”
“I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your taking the time to critique my audition. Your input totally turned around how I was playing the character and made it so much easier when I taped the audition for my agent that evening. Apparently, it was so good, I aced the audition and got booked!! If not for you, I don’t think I would have gotten the role. Attending your class was the most important thing I’ve done all year.”
“Thank you so much for everything over the last 5 weeks. I definitely learned a lot and appreciate your energy and your teaching style. I would love to know when you have other classes going on. Thanks again for everything!”
“I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the valuable training you gave me. I’ve had some auditions and I was able to successfully book my first commercial! It’s an exciting start...”
“Joe, thank you so much! That was such a great class and I really love how student-focused and real world relevant your teaching is.”
“Joe you are a brilliant teacher! What a joy each class has been. You are the glue and the inspiration that made this such a great and useful learning experience. Any class you teach I want to be a part of. ”
