SOME STUDENT ACCOLADES:
Jagger
You are quite an inspiring individual that leaves a positive mark on everyone you meet!
Alisha Norris
Hello Jagger,
I had so much fun in your class. I can't wait to take another one. Thank you so much for all your tips and information and for just making that class a wonderful experience. I will definitely take another class in the future.
&
I'm so glad we could make last night a great welcome back for you. You made it such a comfortable atmosphere to really let go and relax while learning so much. I had so much fun and I am looking forward to the classes I take in the future.
Thank you again : )
Alyssa East
Hey Jagger;
I cant wait to take another class with you. The commercial intensive was full of great knowledge and techniques to apply to my acting. What a great atmosphere that was made so comfortable to learn and just let go. Talking about living in the moment, you definitely teach that.
Stephen Edwards
Jagger,
THANK YOU!!
I have very limited experience in this industry, and breaking into a scene where it seems so many people know exactly what they're doing is very intimidating for me. I feel that my knowledge (and therefore, confidence) has been boosted so much in just 3 hours of your teaching, and I can't thank you enough for that!
I'm going to sign up for more classes in the VERY near future, so I'll see you SOON!!
Thanks again, and all the best!
Danielle Guldin
Yesterday I was just thinking, what an honor it is to know you! You're the best Jagger... & you should be proud of yourself for helping 1,000s of actors in NYC!
Christina Calph
Jagger,
I look forward to more classes with you. Jagger you are a true credit to the Acting Community. Your classes offer so much and are very affordable for an aspiring actor. If you maintain the same level of instruction and provide information in a meaningful way as you have in the previous classes I have taken with you I will only grow more as an actor.
Michael L. Silas
Thanks, Jagger. I learned a lot about my unconscious movements of head & hand, which should keep me from persisting in them. You also refocused me on getting auditions for SAG commercials & getting an agent who can accomplish that for me, and also what I haven't been doing with respect to an agent I already work with.
I really appreciate everything you did & taught today.
Bill Rapp
The Commercial class yesterday was amazing!
I became Jagger's new follower!
I would like to register for more classes/events!
Thank you
Betina Joly.
Well Jagger, today was a great day. You make me realize how much I have to learn especially overcoming fear. You are such a great actor. I saw that today. You inspire me. Congatulations on another successful class. I'll sign up for another as soon as I can.
Cheers.
Marisa Labriola
It's rare to find a "coach" who is realistic, honest, AND inspiring all in one package. You pulled it off in a way that empowered even me -- a notorious "trust the gods and it will happen" type -- to get my ass in gear and start doing my part to help it happen. That alone should earn you a place in history. The fact that I'm having fun doing it besides? That well nigh earns you a place in the pantheon of the immortals.
Carol Neiman
Hey Jagger!!
Hope all is well. Thank you for the gratifying and informative experience of attending both the Commercial Intensive Workshop and Introduction to Meisner class as taught by you and Louise Lasser, respectively.
Both you and Louise are capable, creative, sensitive and sincere teachers intent on getting through to the acting student with success being the
main objective. I was amazed at both of your abilities to reach the student in a variety of ways. I would recommend these classes to every actor who is serious about attaining success. Your teaching techniques are real, practical and honest. I love it!! Wishing you the best of success!!
Thanks again!!
Robert Shulman
Thank you Jagger for another great night of information and hyjinks. I always learn a lot in your classes, and, geez, you can't beat your prices. You prove time and again why you are NUMBER ONE! It's so valuable to have someone who has been in, (and still is in), the trenches to lead us along. This business is a battle and you arm us well.
Tricia Beyer
Hey Jagger,
Thank you again for another great class. Very informative and I really appreciate the critiquing of the resume and headshot. Every class gets me pumped for the next. You present things in a way I feel like a sponge absorbing your years of experience. Now, it's on me to learn to use it. I really enjoyed the marketing strategy you taught. Being a business person by trade I think you nailed it. You need to be ready, prepared, and when you are, a GREAT MARKETING plan is irreplaceable- find and know yourself/niche and go after it. Can't wait till the "Comedic Acting with a Show" Class starts. See you then.
Thank you,
Todd M. Stuckley
Hey Jagger,
Like the several classes and seminars before ,the "On Camera Audition Technique" was simply awesome.You reminded me that our Job is auditioning, and you gave me some genuine great advice. The class was fast fun and informative, I couldn't believe where the five hours went, I could see the difference in my on camera audition after your direction and advice. With the tools you provided I feel more confident entering my next audition, and that's what its all about, there are some things you just cant learn without living it, and you live it!
Thank you again,
Joshua Paled
Hello Jagger,
It was good to see you again and as always I learned a great deal from the class today. With your coaching and critiquing I was able to look inside and realize I need to let go and be myself, have fun with the parts, and just have more confidence. And yes, that was my own self critiquing but your class helped me search inside and realize it. I am always amazed at how you are able to inspire and bring out the best in everyone in the class. I believe this is the sign of a true teacher- someone who can be perfectly frank so that you soul search but at the same time motivating so you bring out the best in the students. I look forward to working with you at my next class.
Thank you,
Todd M. Stuckley
Jagger
Your On-camera Audition class was awesome! You hold your class to high standards and I appreciate that as an actress! See you in future classes.
Cecily Amrane
Dear Jagger,
Technical training was accurate and thorough. Feedback was authentic and encouraging without sugar-coating. It's exactly what I needed. Everybody improved with each take. EVERYBODY. I was amazed. It was terrific fun, Jagger. You're great. Thanks!
Jane Brown
Jagger,
Seriously, you are incredible! If acting is telling the truth, you are an actor in every sense of the word!
The Art of Storytelling is easily one of my favorite classes that I have taken with you! Everyone knows that acting is hard work, but no one tells you how to work, and what that really entails. This class taught me how to take a script, break it down, and understand it -- while being on my feet! Being able to watch my fellow classmates work allowed me to see the fruits of your technique! Our final scenes were proof that a scene can be powerful (and less complicated!) if you take the time necessary with a script, and ask those very important questions!
I am as proud as always to consider myself one of your pupils! You are worth every penny and then some!
You're the Man!
SO Much Thanks,
Jackie Byrne
Jagger,
Thank you so much for the class today. This is Ryosuke, aka Tom! I really learned a lot. I am much clear what to do and how to approach for the audition now. As I said to you today, I am interested in taking the commercial intensive class. Hope there is still a spot...Anyway, i just wanted to say thank you for today's class here. Hope to see you soon.
Ryosuke Yamada.
Dear Jagger,
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, I can't thank you enough for all that you do. You truly CARE about your students and have such a passion for what you do, there's no one like you in the business. I am proud to call you my mentor, and I look forward to creating more wonderful projects with you.
Thanks again!
Joshua Desjardins
Jagger,
With the utmost sincerity I have to thank YOU for your incredible energy in class, you really know how to teach this stuff - AND you know how to
motivate people which is just as important. I feel a lot more ready to take on this stuff. I'm going to work on first getting more professional photos and
then WATCH OUT! :)
Jessica McHugh
Thank you for an exhillerating class. I really appreciate your hard-hitting, yet patient approach, as well as the individual attention you gave
to all of us.
Milla Ilieva
Jagger,
And thank YOU again for such a great class. Not only did I learn some helpful tips about auditioning for commercials, but I learned a lot about myself as well. I would be very interested in meeting with your agent Kevin next Thursday and I already signed up for your class on the 14th, so I will see you then!
Syndi Szabo
Thank YOU Jagger! Like I said, the intensive was great, I can't wait to get to work on my marekting strategies. It actually feels like it'll be fun now instead of daunting and tedious.
I talked about you on the set of "Just Wright" today! I hope the word spreads like wildfire! Last night was so incredible, by the way. Thank you for your motivational, smart and inspirational lessons.
You rock!
Jessica McHugh
Thanks so much Jagger for putting together yet another great opportunity to meet people who really matter in the business, and who can really help us and guide us. I even gave your info to folks at my audition earlier in the evening, because I have total confidence in vouching for your classes and expertise.
Tricia Beyer
Hi Jagger,
This was my first class with you and you were great! I learned a lot about myself that I would never have known unless you took the time to show me. Thank you so much and I look forward to taking more of your classes.
Crystal Jones
Hey Jagger!
THANK YOU! I have to say that was the best class I have taken. So much fun and packed with information. Thank you so much
Erika Elizabeth
Jagger,
Had a blast, thanks for the tips! I look forward to the next opportunity to work with you. I'm definitely interested, but I'll be out of town for the next few weeks. I walked away feeling both pleased with the work and thankful for the adjustments. You have a great passionate energy and it's very refreshing.
Eric Chase
The Art of Storytelling Scene Class has been my favorite class to date. I really learned how to tell the story without worrying too much about "business" at first (if you're not sure what I'm referring to, take the class and find out). But then we learned how to tie it in by the end. As with every other AAC offered, this class was worth every cent!
Thanks again!
Zena Ortiz
Jagger.
I had a great time, and more "aha" moments in our one 3-hour session than I've experienced in most classes that go on for weeks. It was like being taken on a journey by a stand-up comedian, Zen master and shaman all rolled up into one package, and with so much love driving everything you do. I'll see you again soon.
All the best,
Carol Niemen
Thanks You Jagger!!! I LOVED the monologue class! I learned so much about picking a monologue that is right for you and presenting it in a way that best showcases who you are. I am amazed at how much we accomplished with our monologues and how, in just 2 weeks, we have an audition piece to be proud of in our pocket!
Gina Scarda
As if I couldn't respect you more, today you went above and beyond. I can't thank you enough for class today and for your honesty and support. I love knowing that everything you say and suggest is making me be a better actor. That's all I ever wanted out of this class, and its what I got, and then some! Thanks so much, Jagger! You are the very best!
Jackie Byrne
Jagger, I learn so much from your classes. I love them. I am also impressed and grateful for your dedication for each and everyone of the students that come before you. I watched you with the other students. You listened and payed attention to each and everyone of them as though they were the only one in the room with you.
I actually walked out of my last class with you, Summer Technique & Scene Workshop, knowing that you gave me as much quality time as if it was a private class just for me. That is the sign of all the qualities that make you a great and giving teacher.
I am also a teacher, and know at the end of your day that you feel gratified from your work with us, but also exhausted. I would recommend this class, or any other class you teach for that matter, to any fellow actor I came across that was looking to further their acting career. I trust your teaching methods explicitly, I know that everything you tell me is for my own good, to become a better actor. Just want to say thanks for a wonderful 9 hours Summer Technique & Scene Workshop. and thanks for everything you do for me as well as everyone else.
April Andres
When I first met Jagger about a year ago I had no idea what I was getting into or what to expect but the man did not disappoint. I signed up to take a few classes and I had the idea in my head that this stuff is going to be easy and what could he possibly teach me that I couldn't learn on my own? Well I was wrong in every way and breaking into this business is a lot harder than I could have ever imagined. He taught me a lot about acting and the industry as a whole. From the very first class when he walked in with his notes, he put his foot in the chair and started talking and I was like OK this man means business and I knew right then and there that this is what I wanted to do. I was having such a great time that I didn't want to go home and I met some amazing people along the way. Jagger really cares about what he is doing and it shows in his approach and his commitment to his students. The positive energy that is created in his classes is indescribable. I will be forever grateful to have been given the chance to be part of such a creative and diverse group of people with such a dynamic teacher that pushes his students to their limits because he knows the great potential that we all posess.
Bonita Elery
My dear Jagger,
You've created a performing monster!
Not only do I credit you with getting my SAG card via a principal role, but now I've booked a union industrial to go along with a commercial print job......all handled by one of New York/LA's top agencies. All told, the gig is worth over $6000. You taught me how to handle any audition with self- confidence. That confidence comes through even in print "go-sees." AND you encouraged me to"stay in the game" even though I was 60+ when I started this second career. I'll be booking more private time so watch out. Thank you so much.
Rita Cronin
Jagger,
I was really impressed by your class today. I've kind of been bragging about it all night! I just re-entered the legit world this fall, and of all the workshops I've taken, I learned the most from yours (On-Camera Workshop). I am soooo sold on your classes and excited to be in your Comedic Acting Class now!
You are a sweet, endearing and supportive acting coach who will fight for talent to discover new levels of their character.
Thanks again!
Jewel Elizabeth
Jagger,
What can I say.....I've taken several of your classes and each time I learn something new and worthwhile. Your most recent Comedic Class did wonders for me. You taught me how to 'act' by not acting and to be myself so that my natural talent and personality shine through. Because of your unique teaching, I've been called for more auditions and have had call-backs. I'm now waiting to hear if I got a role in a new Indie film. Thank you Jagger for being there for me, you're the best. You can count on me to take more of your classes and spread the word about you to my friends in the acting community.
Catherine Pierce
Jagger,
I've taken a few classes with you now and each and every time I feel more inspired than the last. Your energy is off the charts and its contagious. The classes always start out with this nervous tension in the air and by the time we're half way through the first class your energy has spread. There's never a time when I don't feel challenged by you and notice you challenging all the other students regardless of their experience. When I feel as though I've thought through a scene (whether its mine or another students) you're always there to help us dig deeper and push us all to the next level. When I get a new script or side I find myself going through all of the "techniques" you've taught me in order to perform my best. I love that you don't force your interpretation of a script on us, but you encourage us to make our own individual, well thought out choices. I know I don't just speak for myself when I say that you have given me a new found confidence as an actor that will follow me throughout my career. Thank you!
Jackie Ochoa
Jagger,
Thank you so much for tonight! You were everything I thought you would be...and more! Your Career Help Intensive not only gave me the knowledge and the direction that I needed, but the encouragement to actually use the information and pursue the dream!
The whole way home I spent mapping out a plan: re-formatting my resume, re-considering this e-mail address, thinking about catch phrases, etc.
I felt energized about starting my acting career tonight, and that, you simply cannot put a price tag on... But lucky for me, and the rest of your students, you make that a whole lot simpler and easier (..and more affordable) I am very appreciative of your willingness to share your energy, and your kind spirit!
Thanks so much for such a fun, entertaining evening! I wish you continued success in all that you do, and I would be happy to take a class/seminar of yours again...and plan on doing so!
Many, Many Thanks! And so nice meeting you!
Take Care,
Jackie Byrne
Hey Jagger!
I truely enjoyed our Career Help Intensive. I found it to be very informative and really made me think about where I want to go in my career. I thank you for being so honest and open with us and for all the advice you gave. I had no idea what direction I was going to take or even how to get started but with this class I had a lot of my questions answered and feel a little more confident on the necessary steps to take to move forward in my career. I will highly be recommending this class to my friends.
Ardelle Acosta
Hey Jagger...
Just wanted to thank you for 3+ hours of wonderful industry insight! It's all very mind boggling but you put it in terms that made it seem achievable! Hard work...but achievable.
It was great to finally put a nice face with all the opportunity emails coming from you. You do a great work for all of us out here.
I look forward to participating in a future class or seminar.
Best of everything to you, and again...thanks!!!
Thesa Loving
Hello Jagger,
Thank you again for such an INCREDIBLY informative Commercial Intensive. I appreciate your honesty, enthusiasm, and professionalism, and I guarantee that you will see me at future intensives/classes.
Gratefully,
Jeffrey A. Wisniewski
Jagger,
thanks for a fun and informative class last night. I learned some things and it was great to read for you and get your honest and constructive feedback.
I loved your closing message of respecting yourself and working with others who respect you. I think that gets forgotten by actors because we are so used to getting mistreated.
You are inspirational.
Looking forward to the next time,
David Godbey
I very much enjoyed your class last night. It was bootcamp(ish). I needed a good workout like that. I’ve been a little under the acting weather. Thanks for making these classes available and affordable and for being a dynamic teacher
Karen Page
Hi Jagger, thank you so much!
I had a great time in your class, learned a lot, and will cherish my winning scratch card!
Thanks again very much, it was a pleasure to meet you.
Maayan Scheider
Jagger -
The Career Help Intensive was dynamite. You provided so many creative ways to make a difference and shake things up. Certainly primes the pump for more creative thinking. And what I happily learned is that I wasn't doing anything wrong, but there a more interesting ways to do it and stand out.
That is all very important to me, because I have always known I needed to stand out, but know that I don't. You gave me some very valuable input into how to remedy that.
I knew I didn't want to miss this opportunity and you sure made it worth all the trouble to get there.
Just a really great evening with you and those other interesting actors we shared it with. Now if I can just find the right agent to see the gem that is me.
Misti Tindiglia
Jagger,
Thank you SO MUCH for the career intensive help! I feel like I have a better grasp on what I need to do to get ahead in the business aspect of my career. You have some FANTASTIC ideas! I left the class SUPER PUMPED about promoting myself as an actor.
Jasmine Speiss
Hi Jagger,
Thanks again for another wonderful inspiring class! After the class, my head continued to spin with ideas and all the insights you gave us. It validated what I was already thinking but you actually showed me how to do it and the urgency to do it NOW! And you are soooo right about showing off your personality. After the class, I found out I booked a gig because of my personality (the director complimented my energy and enthusiasm). It's funny because I thought I was showing off too much personality, but now I know that's what I did right. Your encouragement to continue to work whether it be a student film, community theatre, even reading a script on the train really motivated each and every one of us to become the stars we're destined to become.
Merci beaucoup!!!
Sarbani Hazra
Jagger,
Thanks again for the incredibly energetic, informative, and challenging Career Intensive. It definitely got my wheels turning in a motivated way. Time to stop thinking and start doing.
Cheers!
Jeff Wisniewski
Jagger,
Thank you for a great, fun and motivating class!!
With all the conflicting information being thrown out there it was refreshing to finally receive clear, precise, creative and absolutely fun advice on how to market ourselves and take charge of our careers.
I look forward to continuing my "education" by taking advantage of your curriculum from someone who actually treats the aspiring actor with respect and appreciation, while making it a fun interactive event.
Ed Smith
Jagger,
You're fantastic!
Thanks again for a wonderful session on Sunday night! Never have I been so excited about what I'm NOT doing. Normally I'd be kicking myself in the pants for it, but instead I'm enthusiastic about adapting my "formula" for getting seen. You're fantastic!
Michael Hyde
Jagger,
Thank you for being a very fun leader. Seriously I got a hell of a lot more out of tonight than I anticipated. I'm thoroughly satisfied and psyched! And I do hope to see/work with you at some point in the future.
Michelle Kafel
Jagger
You are the man, the class was awesome,
I want to thank you for another piece of the puzzle on this acting thing, you will be seeing a lot of us, if you need anything just let me know.
Marc Goodman
Thank you so much for all that you said today in the class. It was very informative and I now have a lot to reflect and work on. I plan on taking a few of your classes in the near future and hopefully we will work together in the future as well.
Thanks again :)
Amanda Goodman
Extremely helpful! Thank you. Definitely got my money's worth. The hardest part for me was the part I needed the most -- selling myself and speaking about myself to an "agent." Thanks for making me do it. :-) I feel I have direction now in how to market myself, and that is the part I don't usually enjoy. So I really needed the help. Plus I enjoyed many of the other people attending. I have to use what I learned and make it career upgrading for me. I'm looking forward to making my flier.
Mindy M.
Dear Jagger,
Thank you very much for the email with the promos as an example of what to do. I found the class yesterday incredibly helpful and motivating! I now have an idea of where to start. First by taking my picture again! And I am working on the marketing. I am looking to take one of the classes you offer soon to keep working on my acting!!
Thanks Again!
Karina
Jagger,
The class was given with your usual enthusiasm and thoroughness. There was a lot of helpful information that I can put to use and it is useful to see what issues other people are dealing with.
Donna Swensen
Hey Jagger,
I just wanted to say thank you for a great class last night. I think I have the talent but never knew how to really market myself, and was clearly doing it wrong seeing all of your stuff lol. More than making me think, you also motivated me to try harder so I owe you another thanks for that. I plan on attending another class and will definitely go to the bar with you next time! Thanks again and I'm sure I'll have some questions in the near future.
Dan Hooks
Jagger
The past three days were excellent. Your classes gave me so much confidence in my craft. I plan to take more of your classes, you give such a raw look at the industry. You don't sugar coat anything and your honesty is greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything!
Canaan Robinson
Thank you for an evening packed with laughs and invaluable information. I found myself mapping out a plan of action as I sat and listened. I was fully engaged and enthused the whole way through. Thank you a million times over!!!!!
Courtney Jean Allen
Hi Jagger,
Yesterday's Career Help Intensive covered a lot of ground and gave me great advice and ideas for taking the next steps in my acting career. I've got my work cut out for me, but now I've got some more tools to use.
Thanks again,
Michael Donaldson
Hey Jagger, I would personally like to thank you. There’s something about your classes that keeps me coming back for more, and i would hope to further my training with you.
Megan Curet
Thanks, Jagger
It was really a great night - you and all the actors in the class were so generous and willing to help . Great environment. I will see you again on your Charity Event.
Best
Luca Rodrigues
I can't begin to tell you how great it was to see you yesterday. And, your classes are still nice and small; you're still nice and big....in stature and energy and knowledge. Awesome. I've never left a class of yours where I didn't learn something, where I didn't feel energized
Marlene West
Jagger,
Thank you so much for an amazingly inspiring and motivating seminar/ group therapy session lol!
I learned so much about getting my career on the right path and I can't wait to get started!
I will see you in one of your classes very soon!
Amy Hall
I truly learned so much more at the Career Help Intensive than I expected. You laid everything out for us. You reminded us that show business is the toughest business to succeed in. But your goal wasn't to scare us. It was to help us learn that we can succeed, if we're willing to put in the effort. This Career Help Intensive was another success, in my opinion. I really appreciate all that you do. Whether or not you're a "people person", you're definitely a "man of the people".
Thanks again,
Zena Ortiz
Thanks so much for a wonderful Commercial Intensive class on Thursday! The information you shared with us and the exercises you had us perform were priceless. I now know what NOT to do during a commercial audition. Thank God I took your class and learned the proper way to audition!
Sincerely,
Mina Daniel
Jagger,
Thanks for taking out time to, not only give the information, but to give encouragement to pursuit this passion. I had so much fun.....it was truly therapy 4 me. You have such a great energy about you and I cant wait until I take your other classes! (Beginner Acting)
Elizabeth Camargo
I wanted to say Thanks again for an informative class. I have taken classes like this before and it always remind me to just be me and just be REAL, like you say. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon.
Jamie Doerr
Dear Jagger:
Hello ... I'd like to thank you again for an informative and entertaining commercial class. I took copious notes Sunday night and have been meditating on much of what you said. In fact, I'll be able to put some of the tips to use Tuesday morning at a 10:30 am audition for a Newsday commercial. My character is a chef a la Betty Crocker. Thanks again for 3-plus well-spent hours.
Jude Wright
Jagger-
Thanks again for yesterday it was informative and fun. And also for dialing me in on the commercial copy and general, I appreciate the advice and making sure my second take is the first take. Thanks again and I'll be in touch to attend more.
Brian Gildea
I really enjoyed your Commercial Intensive class yesterday. I learned a lot of interesting things and your critiques where very helpful. A few more classes and I'm sure I'll be ready to go out there.
Jannette Anton
Jagger, i was trying to wait around to say Thanks , but the line was kinda long & i didn't want to impinge on your down time before your 4:30 class. Anyway, although i've been making my living as an Actor since '96, Commercial acting is something i'm a novice at. I've booked two local (Phila.) lottery commercials & auditioned and had a callback for one Nat'l , but that's it. I really enjoyed your class on Sunday and gained a lot of solid, practical info for when (and if) i should get signed by a Commercial Agent. Your energy was infectious, your knowledge of the subject matter impressive and i really liked the improv you employed to get us to reach for another level during our "take two" commercial reads. Bravo! I look forward to taking another one of your classes in the near future. Hopefully, i'll get to work with you on a film or tv show one day. Regards,
Brian A.. Wilson (The Wire)
Thank you very much for opening my eyes to a different realm of acting. The Commercial Intensive class gave me a great sense of reality that I need to take with me to "The Audition." I really enjoyed myself and I can't wait to take other classes with you. I already inform my friends about you told them where they can go to register for classes as well. Thanks again.
Dennis K. Philbert
Jagger - I really enjoyed the commercials intensive class yesterday. The informal, relaxed setting took the edge of some of the nerves. You were very informative and I really appreciated the feedback - I know now I need to work on a little more emphasis, less subtlety and sometimes my pitch. It also helps to be able to see other's delivery. I had a lot of fun and look forward to taking several more classes.
Thx very mch,
Marti Vendetti
Thank you so much! I have not taken an acting class in a year or so. And this was the best ever. I felt confident and driven coming out of your class and felt like I did get "my best bang for the buck"! I not only practice technic but actually learned about the business! I can not wait to take my next class!
You Rock
Jen Upchurch
Hi Jagger,
Thanks so much for the commerical intensive last night! It was very informative and enjoyable, and well worth the money and the trip down from Massachusetts! I look forward to taking more classes with you in the future.
Denise Torraco
HI Jagger,
I never had so much fun in a commercial class before. I used to hate them and I felt very comfortable and carefree today about the whole experience. I want to learn more and do more commercials & I'll definitely take the next level of commercial classes you have. You really inspired me.
Thanks.
Maureen Chandler
I laughed more tonight than I think I have in a long time! And tonight was a real eye opener too. It just motivated me to learn more from "The Master" aka "Jagger Kaye".
Zena Betancourt-Ortiz
Jagger,
Thank you for last nite. It was very informative, and I learned a lot. I can wait to start putting all I learned to use. I hope to take more classes with you.
Thanks again,
Alisha Carderella
Dear Jagger,
Thank you SO MUCH for today's commercial intensive! I must admit, this was the first class I've taken in NYC (I only moved here from Pittsburgh last summer), and I am so glad you were my first teacher. Your 6 Steps were especially helpful, and I am so glad you cast me in the "mock commercial", I couldn't have been more proud of myself!
Thank you again for a wonderful class experience. I definitely think I have the personality for commercial work, and you assured me of that today. I love what you have done with ActorsFirstNY, and I look forward to taking more classes from you in the future. Sincerely
Joshua Desjardins
Jagger
Honestly, I adore your classes! They are as entertaining as they are fun, and you keep it real!
So, thank you, thank you so much for another fabulous class! I will be taking many, many more!
Break many legs when shooting your commercial this week!! And I'll let you know about the comedy class!!
You are the Best!
Thank You!
Jackie Byrne
Jagger,
I want to thank you. The class was extremely informative and has definitely given me insight on my weaknesses and where I need work. I live in the Pocono Mt. region of PA so it was well over a hundred mile trip for me and I must say the class was definitely worth the trip. The class was such a GREAT experience I also plan to attend other classes offered as I can fit them into my schedule.
Thank you,
Todd M. Stuckley
Dear Jagger,

Dear Jagger,
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to attend this class. I actually got a lot from it. Something I never really
took the time to understand was that, Bottom Line: It is about the product! You really motivated me to push on and to keep on
finding projects and work for myself nonetheless. I loved your energy and enthusiasium and I am so fortunate to have met an actor of all trades with such a great drive. You made me believe that it is possible! So Thank you, thank you...thank you! haha
Best Wishes,
Christina Calph
Dear Jagger,
Your the man Jagger! We all got a lot from your class. Because you love what you do it showed through. I got more than I paid for by taking your class. I hope to take every class I can. Your energy was bouncing off the wall. You gave us a lot of needed information.

Jagger,
Cannot thank you enough for the great class the other night. I am glad I was smart enough to sign up for almost every other class you offer. Some of the best money I have ever spent. Looking forward to my next class!

Jagger,
Thank you so much for your insightful Commercial Intensive. I haven't learned that much in three hours since ... well, never! Your being a peer as well as an instructor helps to make the evening comfortable, energetic, and amazing. I can't wait to absorb as much as your brain has to offer me; I'm glad I already registered for two more classes! Thanks again!!
Yours,
Michael W. Hyde
Hey Jagger!
Thank you so much for that wonderful intensive! You taught me so many things that I didn't know before, and now I feel more prepared and excited to take on the commercial market. I picked up so many tips and tricks from interacting with you and watching the others in the class perform. Not only did you make me feel comfortable as a performer, but you made me feel comfortable as a person, which is even more important. I will certainly be visiting you over and over again. Thanks a million!

Hi Jagger!
Thank YOU- I had a really great time and definitely learned a lot. I enjoyed how fun you made everything- not to bash other teachers (although....I guess I am about to) but I have definitely experienced classes that were taught in a really dull way, nothing special. You cracked me up basically the whole time AND taught me a whole lot- so thank you!
I am excited for the event next Tuesday.
Take care,
Joanna Schubert
Jagger,
Had a hell of a good time last night at the commercial class. Thanks for all the tips and making my trip up from DC worth it! I can say without a doubt I got my money's worth. Look forward to attending another one of your classes.

Hi Jagger
Thank you so much for the wonderful Commercial Intensive class that I attended today!!! I love your energy and your commitment to your students!!! Your sense of humor really assisted in loosening us up and allowing us to blossom as we worked through the process of learning how to read copy in an effective manner. You have enormous insight into what will help a person become more connected to the material at hand. Even though we had a lot of fun in the class, due to your light-hearted approach, you were serious when needed and I learned a large amount in a short period of time.
I appreciate you very much.
Thank you,
Cynthia Fellowes
I wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful afternoon. Your honesty today made me trust you, and that is everything! I will definitely be signing up for another class soon.
Thank you again,
Kimberly Woodman
Hey Jagger!
Thanks again for today, the commercial class was awesome, and I really walked away with some more great tips for when I go for those oh so interesting commercial jobs. I will def be taking more classes within the next few months.
Thanks again!
Amanda B. Goodman
Thanks so much Jagger!
The class was great, and with someone who doesn't have a huge budget for classes, this was a tremendous help!!
Looking forward to more classes/seminars with you in the future :)
Katherine Proctor
Dear Jagger,
Thank you so much for last night's class, I appreciated your honest and direct approach. I keep thinking "show me the money" with a SAG Commercial! I am also trying to perfect how you say, "you know what I mean"? Its so lovely how you can roll it all together:) I look forward to working with you again soon.
Many thanks for your drive, passion, and humor.
Best,
Carrie Heitman
No seriously...Thank YOU! It was a really fantastic experience and it took the mystery out of the commercial auditioning process. I will be signing up for the advanced class and your other industry nights soon. I wish you were always there in auditions, making fun of my Uncle Ben's Rice to get the right reaction! :) Watching you bring out the VERY BEST work in people as they were reading their copy really helped me to learn what questions I need to ask myself in the audition so my reactions are appropriate to the situations I'm in and more real. Knowing that this is all affordable really helps. I miss going to more classes and I really think you're doing a great service to the acting community!
Jasmine Spiess
Hey Jagger!
Thank YOU for such an amazingly fun and informative afternoon! You certainly know how to teach a class and keep it full of laughter and excitement but still very professional. The knowledge you provided is so valuable and I simply can't wait to take another as soon as my schedule allows.
I now understand why everyone writes such wonderful testimonials about you-- because they are all so TRUE! I think every actor in NYC should take advantage of your offers. Not only are they priced right but they are clearly being trained by the best!
'Til next time,
Christine Seisler
Hi Jagger
I wanted to thank you for an informative, simulating, thought provoking, friendly and informal commercial workshop. I have learned more in your low cost workshop then all the expensive ones I had taken. It is a comfort to know there is a place artists can go to develop their acting skills without going broke
I WILL BE BACK
Jenice Matias
Hi Jagger! I wanted to thank you for the great class- it was everything I expected plus a whole lot more! I learned a lot and really enjoyed your teaching (and jokes - you are very funny!). I hope to use what I learned and bring my best self to any auditions. I will definitely enroll in other AFNY offerings. Hope to see you soon!
Best regards,
Linda McEntee
P.S. Thanks for all the work you do on behalf of everyone- I think it's great that you send out all those casting notices and help everyone out- you are a very special individual!
Hi Jagger - Thank you for having us. The class was a lot of fun and I had a great time, I am so glad I signed up. You made that class fun, your have so much energy with what you do and it is very contagious. I learned a great deal in 3 hours and hopefully will be on my way to a career in commercials.
Tony Abruzzo
Hi Jagger,
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you again for the intensive yesterday. It was a great class and unlike classes that I have taken at other places that will remain nameless I really enjoyed myself. I came in knowing next to nothing about auditioning for commercials and walked away feeling like I could walk into a professional audition and "hit it out of the park". Thank you for all the information and the confidence boost. Oh and your comment about liking my energy really made my day. Also thank you for all you do at ActorsFirstNY. Your organization really has helped me get opportunities that I couldn't find anywhere else. Keep up the good work! I definitely felt the vibe and will be back for more the moment that my schedule allows.
All the best,
Keely Kate Williams
Dear Jagger,
I just wanted to say thanks again for the commercial intensive last night. I had a really great time and am defiantly going to take the follow up course. It was nice to finally meet the man behind the madness:-P you have great energy and looking forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
Kelsey Schelling
Hi Jagger,
I came away with so many good things from this evening's Commercial Intensive. You are your assistant were, true to form for Actor's First, amazingly organized, personable, and helpful.
Steph Van Vlack
Jagger, I just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful Commercial Intensive class and reception (AFNY's 4th anniversary event)
afterwards. Your energy inspires me and your commitment to your students and their success amazes me! I want to thank your lovely crew as well for a job well done and friendly smiles at all times. In less than one week, I've been made to feel like part of your extended family, which is very reassuring in this, not so friendly and often times, superficial business. I am absolutely convinced that your lessons and advice will prove invaluable for me very soon. I hope you take some time to yourself, after having given so much to others. You deserve it! Thanks so much!
All my best,
Fabio Taliercio
Dear Jagger,
It was such a delight to finally be able to take your Commercial Intensive class. And while I have been in and out of this business for years and worked on plenty of non-union commercials in Texas, I am ready to take my game to the next level. Your class was just what I needed. Your commercial copy exercise at the end was worth it's weight in gold. Not only from my personal experience, but from being able to watch everyone else's choices and then the miraculous changes after you had given a new approach to reading the copy. I am happy to have you as part of my 'arsenal' and look forward to celebrating when I book my big national SAG commercial (Soon! I know it will be soon!)
Mucho mucho thanks!
Kim Chapman
Jagger
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your Commercial Intensive last night. Getting a 360 perspective was invaluable. More often than not, instructors don’t pay attention to the minute, yet essential details which help the first timer. It’s those “goods” that can make the difference between feeling comfortable, or not, during what can be a stressful time for the uninitiated.

Debbie Friedlander
I attended Jagger's Commercial Intensive last night and it was a three hour whirlwind that ended too quickly. In addition to doing a realistic mock Audition that left you with butterflies and Jagger's helpful and honest comments, we did a group commercial read of different commercials. It was very interesting to hear a bunch of people doing different reads and then to hear Jagger's comments for everyone. I took a lot from it. It was the real deal!! I highly recommend it. Thanks.
Joe Assante
Today was terrific. Your classes are always chock full of good stuff, and today was no exception. You not only got fantastic results out of each of us, you taught us how to "own" that ability. In a way, you took us all behind the magician's curtain, and showed us how to perform the tricks on our own. Amazing.
I am totally ready to get my SAG card and make the big buckeroos.
Mimi Weisbond
I REALLY enjoyed your class. I have a few commercial classes already I yours was very much worth my time. I feel even better about going out there to audition. Also, thank you so much for staying after and letting me ask you additional questions. I really appreciate it. I will definitely be taking more workshops through your program. Yay!
Jodi Skeris
Dear Jagger,
Get this! Soon after I took your Commercial Intensive I had an opportunity to audition for an AMEX Commercial. After a few days I got the call back. This was my first audition for a professional advertisement and I was able in a short amount of time apply what you taught in class. What can I say...Thank you Jagger.
Your classes are short and sweet and to the point and of course affordable. I really like the fact that it does not take a long amount of time to learn important aspects of acting and to present yourself with confidence. With all the tips and remarks that you gave me so far I feel I can tackle any audition room! For that: Kudos to you. Mucho Kudos. Looking forward to many more Classes and Performances with you.
