Testimonials

“I’m so happy that I met Jack. I used to dread auditions, but now I have a great time. He completely unlocked what was locked in me. I seriously couldn’t have done it without him. His words of wisdom are always with me.”
Allyson Hannigan

How I Met Your Mother, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, American Pie

“After years of doing comedy, it was difficult to trust that I was ‘enough’. I love that Jack coached me in such a way as to make me feel that I could take the risk to not be in a safe zone. He started me down the road to doing more serious stuff.”
