BE THE ACTOR THEY NEVER SAW COMING

Acting Classes For Film and Television with Acting Coach John Pallotta

New York City   Philadelphia   Baltimore   Fairfax   Chicago

​

You are inspired by the power of acting. You understand the critical relationship between the actor, the story, and the camera, and how it shapes an audience's reaction to you. You are ready for relentless self-discovery, and to take the necessary steps on your journey. You possess the commitment to honing your most valuable instrument YOU! 

​

John does not teach a theoretical approach to acting. He teaches the nuts and bolts of how to audition and act on camera.  In addition, John teaches students the business strategies, techniques and mindset needed for long term success as an actor.

​

John Pallotta actors are given opportunities they won’t find in any other acting class, including intensive camera work and on-set, on-location study, where students get a chance to explore all facets of film work, from lighting, sound, location scouting and directing to working with each other on camera on a professional set. You put all this together and the result, we’ve found, is students coming out of our studio more prepared for not just the business, but life in general.
