Nina Sundsten - Actor, Writer
I worked with James for several months, as I was applying to graduate acting programs. When we began coaching I was hesitant: unsure if I could really put myself out there and choose acting as a career, but James was extremely reassuring. He helped me see that it was within my reach.
I didn't know where to start, but he helped me focus in on the right city for me, Chicago, which is where I began my search. His experience in the industry was obvious, as we talked through the different options, and he gave me the confidence to zero in on a few top schools. Thanks to James' help, I was ultimately given several offers, with scholarships! I was unsure which to chose, but his feedback gave me more confidence in my choice. and I committed to a school in Chicago, and I couldn't be happier!
James is kind, knowledgeable, and straightforward. His approach felt tailored to my specific needs; he gave me really helpful suggestions on what to research and awesome resources to explore, including industry articles, audiobooks, and podcasts for working actors. He's was also realistic; helping me me narrow down my to-do list and structure my time from the viewpoint of a professional actor.
I think the work we did together has given me a great start for my career. I am so grateful for his guidance!

Lucia Liss - NYC Actor, Mills College '17
I worked with James when I was unsure if I wanted to commit to acting professionally. Through his workshop, and subsequent weekly coaching, I got the clarity I needed to jump in full-force; I became more focused and self-assured than I had been in a long time. He helped me take really big steps, including signing with my first agent and preparing for a move to New York. He took the time to send me play recommendations when I was choosing audition monologues and introduced me to invaluable resources for building my business. He has ample experience and insight, which he generously shares to help you be your best.
