Testimonials
“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 Keating is my acting coach and scene partner whenever I have a self-tape audition, because he not only understands the casting process but understands it from the perspective of being an actor himself.
I have also taken his audition technique class and highly recommend it for every actor, no matter what your background in acting. There are certain techniques he teaches that only someone who has been in the room with producers knows. His class is a safe place to make mistakes and a great place to get help.
John is a warm, caring and talented instructor.”
“John’s class has been a real eye opener. He gets you excited about acting by teaching practical acting techniques. And because he’s a working actor, his advice is really relevant to what’s going on in the industry now. I feel re-energized after each class!”
