I have had phenomenal teachers and mentors in my life. They are a significant part of any successes I’ve had in my personal growth and professional tech career. They are why I started pursuing an acting career in NYC eight years ago, booking short films that were accepted to festivals like the Berlin International Film Festival, and commercials that ran nationally.
They are why I’ve returned as an actor in SF and LA. For some of them, they are the sole reason I ever unlocked a belief in myself and in my artistry. Now, without any hesitation whatsoever, I say the following:
Jim Jarrett is one of the greatest among them. Jim’s excellence, humanity, and passion as a teacher has never – once – been anything less than the highest standard I’ve ever experienced as a student.Conder Student
For those who feel called, you must not pass up this world class training with Jim. You will get so much more than you ever imagined, both in your acting training and as a human. Jim is the most passionate teacher I’ve come across in my life, which is saying a lot given I went all the way through a doctorate.
He also offers 10 day retreats in Hawaii that focus on helping us live empowered fearless lives moving towards our dreams, rich in happiness, joy, and gratitude. World class training combined with enormous growth in every way with a teacher that cares deeply.Alana Student
