I started studying with John 14 years ago, and I always come back to him. John is not only incredibly knowledgeable, he is also eager to share that knowledge with his students. He takes the time to help each student with their individual needs, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses. He wants each student to be a great actor who understands the business aspect and the reality of it. He is passionate and spends hours during the week talking on the phone with his students who want to discuss what they saw or did during class, who have questions about their talent or about the business, etc. At the same time, he will not beg you to get up. It is a big class, and he favors the students who are "pushy." If you come prepared and you make it known to him that you are not only ready to go but that you WANT to go, he will get you up. There is something to be learned every week, whether you are a beginner or advanced. There is no better class in Las Vegas, and there is no better acting coach in Las Vegas either.
