    Auditioning can be stressful but it doesn't have to be!

    I am a working actor, audition coach and former nationally touring comedian. I've coached thousands of actors on co-star, guest star and series regular auditions for both comedic and dramatic roles over the past decade. Together, we'll work on understanding your type for TV and Film and how to bring yourself to every audition, especially ones that aren’t an immediate fit for them. I love working with actors on embracing their true selves in their acting craft and auditions. This is all done in a supportive and fun environment. Let's get started on enjoying the audition process today!

    In this time of self-tapes and virtual auditions, John has been a lifesaver for me. Getting his feedback and direction has made me feel like I’m actually ACTING again and that has been wonderful. He gives terrific redirects with common sense and compassion in equal measure. Every audition I have done with John, I have gotten great feedback from my reps. This is not an exaggeration. He’s easy to book with, easy to work with and also makes me laugh. Lucky me!

    John has been my audition coach for a couple months now and I have never felt more confident with the tapes I have sent in since meeting him. He is caring, supportive, and so much fun to work with

    If you have an audition coming up, do yourself a favor and coach with John! He's not only supportive and easy to work with, but he’s also terrific at breaking down a scene and expertly guides you to heart of the scene. Plus he is equally good at comedy and drama. He will help you nail you're audition and make sure you impress the casting director. He is also very good at seeing what your strengths are and helping to bring that to an audition. Oh and he makes it fun!
