MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE!
Jagger my dream always was to work with a bigtime Hollywood director & you made that dream come true! - Erin Ferdinand
THANK YOU JAGGER!
It was so awesome meeting Steven and I'm so glad to have been a part of it all. Congratulations on 5 years! You are truly amazing..
Steve was so down to earth, knowledgeable and friendly. He knows how to talk to actors which is a special talent as far as directors go. It was an amazing opportunity to be directed for a moment by a major Hollywood director. And the thing is- it felt so normal. So right. It was a breeze. I wasn't even nervous because he was just so damn personable.

Jagger, I still have no idea how you managed to get Steven for that event, but THANK YOU for doing it, and doing it so well, and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of it. Steven was an AMAZING guest. For one thing, he's hilarious and quite entertaining. And his blocking of the scenes was terrific. I love that it was different for each pair, too. He really was paying attention to what each group gave him and working with that. And as you said, it was tremendously giving and generous of him to put that much thought and energy into it. Again, thank you thank you thank you so much for yesterday's event. Just really really great all around. Steven rocked, you rocked... Just a wonderful afternoon :)

Jagger - thank you so much, I had a lot of fun with your students, I loved everything about the day, seeing you again, meeting your staff, your students, the Q&A and then working with them and seeing how great they took direction. It couldn't have went more perfect. They all took great direction and that was because of you, I see the way they react towards you and work off you.
I'm proud of you

Just a quick note to say 'thank you' for today!!! :) I truly appreciate the way you took the time to give us a quick coach before the event, set up the event, and to choose us!! Honestly, I cannot tell you how flattering that is to me. Your opinion means a lot to me - your the only stage director I've met so far that I actually completely respect and think knows what they are doing! You definitely rank among the top few that I've worked with!!! I hope that we served you well and helped make you look damn good today! I look forward to doing many more things with you, Jagger!!!
Thank you, again!!!
Best Wishes,
Wendy Latella
Jagger, I wanted to drop you an email and say thank you for yesterday. Just thanks for including me. I don't think i can actually even verbalize how helpful, encouraging and frankly how positive yesterday made me feel. I couldn't stop smiling thinking about it afterwards.

Jagger, First of all, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for another really wonderful opportunity. I knew how much this whole thing means to you and I wanted to represent not only myself, but also CnC in the best light possible.and be a good ambassador for CnC. I'm happy to hear that Steve was pleased with what Canaan and I did and helped Steven to get a sense of what CnC is all about! I wanted him to see the fun and that we were coached well...And it was amazing getting direction from him. I feel like I'm finally coming into my own as an actor. This is in no small part, due to your coaching, your support and your friendship. It means a lot to me and I don't take that lightly. I just wanted you to know that.
Thank you, Thank you...THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
And I am very proud of you too...
:)

So yesterday, I was reading in front of a Hollywood director Steven Carr and today I'm back to my (somewhat) normal life of trying to make ends meet while keeping the dream alive. I saw a glimpse of the big picture, of the long term goal, and I want more. Acting is not just my passion and dream- it is my addiction. Once I have a taste, I always want more. I will not stop until I get to savor that sweet satisfaction.
Stepping stones are the most important part of my life right now. Being so, I'd like to give a shout out to Jagger Kaye of www.CASTINGSnCLASSES.com. Jagger is in the business of providing actors with the best stones to step on. He hosts classes, industry events and he sends out free castings. (Half of what’s on my resume are things that I got through Jagger’s casting service.) Jagger is the one responsible for setting up yesterday’s amazing event for a few actors to meet Steve. As a favor to us actors, and a way to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of his business, he did yesterday’s event for free. I have taken several coaching classes with Jagger and gone to a slew of his industry events and what makes him so special is that he takes each and every one of these events personally. He gets to know all of his students. We're not just numbers to him. We are people that he wants to see succeed. Thank you Jagger for all that you do.
One stepping stone at a time. But oh, how lovely that big picture looks. One stone at a time . . .

Hi Jagger, I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday's event with Steven Carr. Steven had such a warm, hilarious personality and the experience of working with a real Hollywood director in basically an on-set environment was a unique pleasure that I won't soon forget. After yesterday I feel very confident that I could get called in by somebody of Steven's caliber and bring everything I have to offer to the table. That counts for a lot. Steven made me feel right at home and that allowed me to have fun with the scene and try some new things. I had a blast and I know that Anthony did too, not only at the event but afterwards as well. Next time you speak to him please thank him again for me. And thank yourself again while you are at it! =)
You are too good to me,
Keely Kate Williams
Hey Jagger! Thank You Thank You Thank You... The event with Steven Carr was amazing. CASTINGSnCLASSES.com events really validate me as an actor. What's more amazing is that you coach us right before it's time to do our scenes. No other teacher does what you do; you build us up as actors and help fill the atmosphere with enthusiasm and positivity. Being apart of this event was such an HONOR. Thank you for creating such a great space to act and be seen.I look forward to many more events and classes with your establishment. Happy 5th Anniversary; Your on to something! :-)

Jagger, Thanks again SO MUCH for including me in your Steven Carr event. I'm honored to represent your students to the best of the best! Steven was incredible on Thursday - I think once he saw us and how you started it off, he was pretty relaxed. I could tell right off: Off Set, he's a GREAT guy to chill with and On Set, his mind is going a mile-a-minute to do amazing work. You bring in some pretty #1 people, Jagger. You had the event down to a science and your team had everything on the ball, from coverage to craft services :-) Like I said on the "video confessional", I'm pretty sure I've been with you and your casting email list from the start and I'm so wowed by how much you and your passion for this has made this grow into quite the formidable and uber-helpful group. I'm really proud to be a part of your next 5 years!
