"I have to say, when I began Jake's class, I knew something was missing... he showed me what it was.  I was much more confident when I went into the room.  After his class, I booked a Cell South commercial. Thank you for a very informative and fun class."

Rodrigo Brand

"Jake is like a surgeon. He's gonna cut your "acting fat" out and leave you with an acting technique that is precise, clean and clear, which is gonna put you among the top five guys in the room for the job."

Michelle Chant

"Jake was an incredible teacher... by FAR my favorite! If I were considering taking his classes again... Without hesitation, I’d run to get in line for his class! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for everything Jake! You truly are the best!"

Tsuyoshi Ihara

"Jake was my sensei (teacher) for my voice, speech, & diction that I needed to improve on to continue to working on US films. Jake helped me accomplish all my tasks and monologue work in 10 weeks. He knew how to get me caught up in time to read for more American directors and I booked!"

What's My Approach?

Coaching for me is finding the essence of the character thru the written dialogue, physical actions & tone of voice. Making simple, specific choices that make sense yet are unique, is the secret to creating memorable characters that still seem true to life. Asking yourself : who, what, where, when & why is the first step. From there finding interesting choices in the delivery is what books you the job!
