John Ford
I have a speech I need to work on...
Would you rather parachute out of an airplane than speak in front of people? When you speak in front of people, do you feel a pit in your stomach? Your heart beating faster? Your mouth dry? Sweat on your forehead? Thinking only about getting through it?
I want to work on my voice...
Do you not like the sound of your voice? Do you have problems being heard or understood? Do you say to yourself, “I am much more interesting than I sound?” Do you feel as if no one listens to you?
I have an audition I need to prepare for...
Are you scared of walking through that audition room door? Do you feel unprepared? Are you feeling rusty? Do you want to get back in the saddle? Let’s work together to craft an audition that is uniquely YOU!
Do you want to work on your voice in the comfort of a classroom setting? Do you want to learn about public speaking with your peers or co-workers? Are you curious about acting? Shakespeare? Voice work?
Success Stories
Jake’s passion for the topic was evident and contagious, and I am very impressed with his ability to provide feedback that was personalized and tailored to help each of us in the class reach our potential. The class environment was supportive and fun, and I learned practical skills that I’ve incorporated into all of my verbal communications, not just public speaking.

Jake was a wonderful resource for me as I prepared for my college auditions. I truly believe that his insight on my monologues made the difference and I was accepted into several very prestigious acting programs. I would highly recommend Jake as a tutor for anyone who is seeking any extra guidance with audition or performance pieces.

Jake is on the same level as his students and is open to their specific needs and inclinations. He is incredibly direct, supportive and comfortable. His suggestions are meticulous and honest and even the smallest adjustment from him makes all the difference.
