Classes and Schedules

 

I am currently offering two classes in New York: a monologue/scene study class and a Level One commercial class.


The commercial class is taught at the Terry Schreiber Studios. If you are interested in this class please call their office 212-741-0209.


The monologue/scene study class is taught at studios of the New York Conservatory of Drama Arts. To enroll in this class please read the class description below.

LEVEL ONE COMMERCIAL CLASS       21 May - 2 July 2012


Mondays:         6:30 - 9:30  PM   

Location:         151 W. 26th Street, 7th floor.

Investment:     $395.00 ($325.00 if taken with another class at T. Schreiber Studios. Ask for details.)


This 6 week workshop is designed to take the guess work out of the commercial audition process.


I’m a working actor and have booked over 200 national commercials. The techniques I teach aren’t

based on theory. I use them every time I audition.


Call 212-741-0209 for more information.


“John’s classes provide his students with insight, attention to detail and a foundation of the craft that allows the most novice actor to seem like a seasoned pro. Shortly after taking his class I booked a commercial and the director called me a “Pro’s pro.” I didn’t tell him it was my first job. Thank you, John.”  Antonio Richardson


"I studied with John several years ago and then took 10 years off to start my family. I had an audition last week for Walmart (my first in 12 years) and booked it. When John Swain schools 'em, they stayed schooled."
