Johnny has coached me on countless auditions. I can confidently say that he has a true talent for working with actors. The way he dissects scenes helps the actor gain not only clarity, but also the freedom to bring themselves and the story to life.

Johnny is experienced and passionate about his work. His coaching techniques and methods he used with both Sarah and Brandon landed them both their first commercial on their very first audition ever. He connects with the students and makes each of them feel comfortable, teaching them skills while still making them have fun.

His workshops are a great experience for the students to sharpen their skills and challenge themselves. I highly recommend Johnny as an acting coach.

I have learned so much by taking Johnnys workshop. It is a safe space where I feel comfortable and supported to learn and grow as an actor with talented and like-minded people. Johnny gives the best feedback and is an amazing acting coach who will push you to the best of your abilities. I look forward to these intensive weekends.

Johnny Cortes is a true leader. He demonstrates his leadership by helping each and every one of his students fully understand the art of acting.

He is also super approachable and offers extraordinary guidance both creatively and professionally. Personally, his workshops have made a remarkable impact on my development as an actor. His teachings have increased my self-confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness and self-assurance in my acting abilities. I feel incredibly privileged to have met Johnny and to have his workshops frequently resonate with me even outside of the classroom. His energy, thoughtfulness and support have helped me become a better actor. than I was yesterday.

Johnny’s workshop really helps you discover a sense of grounding and authenticity in your acting. Every session, I leave with a deeper set of roots to apply to my scene and auditioning

work. I am sincerely grateful for the attentive energy and skills Johnny shares.

My experiences in Johnny's workshop have been amazing. It's helping me get out of my shell and my head. Getting more comfortable with improv and letting go.

Doing a self-tape audition with Johnny is having the possibility of having a reader that contributes to creating an ideal fiction to recreate a scene. The stimuli and the proposed situations have always contributed to leaving me satisfied and with the feeling of having done a good job... In an audition there are never guarantees, however the process in a self tape session with Johnny always opens up the possibility, reflection and different options to offer effective proposals that may interest a casting director.

I have been a student of Johnny for a time now, and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me! His passion for coaching is inspiring and he really focuses on what you need to improve in your craft. He will always push you out of your comfort zone with a respectful and helpful way. I have grown so much as an artist and person thanks to him.

I took Johnny's intensive weekend workshop in 2022, when I was just beginning my journey to becoming an actress. His love and passion for acting is shown through his dedication to make sure his students understand not only the character they're playing, but each moment, and each line. In groups of max 20 students, I always felt supported and safe to make mistakes in a very safe environment of learning. With nowhere to hide, improvisation exercises and cold reads are fun and exciting, and helped me build up more confidence in myself and my abilities to perform in front of a small and large group. Johnny's 100% committed and is always ready to answer any questions! He's firm and will push you (in the nicest way possible!), because he knows you can get there! It's always a pleasure to take his workshops, and I always recommend it to anyone who's looking to get an amazing acting coach.

During this workshop, not only did I improve my approach on acting, script analysis, developped my creativity & the creation of a faster connection with scene partners, but I also discovered many parts of myself I had not seen before. I feel more motivated than ever to keep pursuing this passion and explore the crazy potential that Johnny brings to light in every single student! Thank you for being real and for taking your time to ensure we understand as much as we can
