Testimonials for the 4 Week Film/TV Class
"When signing up for the 4 week film/tv class I did not know what to expect at all. But boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Jen is incredibly friendly, yet totally honest and real. She is most certainly not afraid to tell you the complete truth. She told us things just in the first class that have already helped me with my acting career. The
intimate setting made me feel like i was getting instruction on a personal level, and she always took the time out if you had any questions or concerns. As the weeks progressed I truly felt that I was growing as an actor. She gave us scenes, worked on them with us and told us exactly what casting directors look for - and exactly what they think about you, the actor, as you set foot into that room. I was having difficulty with one scene and she step-by-step guided me on how to improve. Come
the last class with Katja (who is also great) I felt like i was truly ready to show them what I had! I had dropped out of acting for a few years and this class was
exactly what I needed to whip me back into shape! So, if you're looking for a no bull approach to acting for film and tv, from people inside the industry.... Jen and Katja are the ladies for the job! Thanks guys!" - Ashley Rose Gaughan
"I appreciated so much the training I received in your course! I came
to you to assist me in getting ready to jump back into the NYC talent
pool after some necessary years away, and it was clearly the best thing
I could have done. A few days after the dramatic class, I booked an
industrial! Also, without you adjusting my comedy issues, I would
never have made Katja laugh at the final class. Thanks again." - Toni
Downey
"Jen Rudolph's Film/TV class is an invaluable tool for any actor
looking to work on-camera. Jen helps you understand the subtleties of
performing in front of the lens, and teaches you to make the smart
choices that will enable you to nail the audition. I learned an
incredible amount about the film/tv medium in each class, and feel
infinitely more prepared to work in that world...thank you Jen!" - Jeremy Cohen
"I had the rewarding experience of working with Jennifer Rudolph. I
learned a great deal about the business, marketing myself through my
headshot and resume, and how to approach the scenes she assigned. She
challenged us to approach our work as professional actors and gave us
insightful tips from a casting director’s perspective. The class is a
truly worthwhile investment for anyone serious about acting." - Natasha Demosthene
"Jennifer Rudolph leads a fun and extremely informative class. She pulls no punches and doesn’t sugarcoat
her feedback, but is very supportive when you’ve made a strong choice and can
pinpoint instantly and specifically where your auditioning technique can be
sharpened. She also sets up an
atmosphere where we can all learn from and appreciate each other’s work. I gained a great deal of insight into the auditioning process in a short period of
time, and have signed up to work further with Jennifer in her Green Room course." - Richard Kass
"I took Jen's on camera class an learned a ton. A bunch of those minor details that you tend to overlook, but they are hugely important during an audition. After going back and watching my tape from class, it was amazing to see the difference between my first read, and then my second with Jen's adjustments. The results were subtle, but made the word of difference. I also got to read in front of Katja from 30 Rock, who was awesome and gave me great feedback."- Tonya Glanz
"First off, thank you SO much for giving me the opportunity to take your class! I can't tell you how much I learned in just three weeks; I was amazed. Actors will learn more in your 4-class session than they ever would in college, or in classes and workshops with other casting directors. Your down to earth approach and unabashed feedback are what every actor needs in order to gain that thick skin and survive in this industry. It's also obvious that you love actors and sincerely want all of us to succeed. So, not only were classes educational, but you created such a supportive environment! Having you work one-on-one with us each week was almost like having your best friend there cheering you on and giving you constructive advice. I can't wait to take more classes with you and see where my career goes next! Thanks again!!! - Andrea Caron
"Jen I want to thank you for your knowledge and generosity. I have never met anyone in this business who says it like it is and who actually makes sense of things. This is a confusing and crazy business to be in. If you are either an aspiring actor or a professional actor I recommend you RUN and take a class with Jen. She exposes you to what I like to call the 101 basics of what you need to know in order to survive in this industry. Working on the craft is fundamental, I am currently in an intensive acting conservatory, but understanding how the business works is as important and nobody in acting school is going to tell you how to go about getting a job. I consider myself extremely lucky to have met Jennifer Rudolph; she has become an imperative tool in my journey as an actor." - Amy Khoury
"As a veteran campaigner on the audition trail (over 50 film and television auditions in the past six years) the audition process still remained for me “a mystery, rapped in a riddle, inside of an enigma.” So, I finally decided to make a real effort to gain a clearer understanding of what these darn folks (casting directors) are looking for! “What do they really want from me during the audition?” “How do they see me?” “What’s my market niche – my calling card?” Jennifer Rudolph’s class answered all of those questions for me. Finally, someone (Jen) handed me a flashlight! Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a maze out there – but at least I don’t have to navigate in the dark! This class is for all-comers: beginners to veterans. I really believe that with both the business information and the acting/audition pointers Jen’s given me I can “up” my success rate on jobs booked. And I will let her (and you) know – because Jen’s Green Room follow-on classes will be a regular part of my discipline to continue polishing my craft." - John Hall
"Taking this class was one of the best decisions I could have made. Having trained in theatre only, I signed up for this class timidly and not knowing what to expect. Four weeks later, I’m walking out if wondering why I could have questioned it in the first place. I got the sense from the first day that Jen was nurturing to the actor without being dishonest about the realities of the business. I appreciate her simple but effective approach to the work and the audition process and feel so thankful that I can go into audition and casting situations more prepared and confident. Can’t wait to recommend this class to others and continue with them myself. Thanks so much Jen!" - Heidi Newhart
"Jen - I want to thank you for this class. It really hit me in a way no other class has; I finally 'get it' (or at least kind of get it). And it's just what I needed to be better prepared and more confident which is the name of the game! So thank you so much, you have no idea. Your ability to 'talk' to each actor was amazing, very sincere yet stern so that there was a level of demand on each on of us to attain (if that makes any sense!). Thank you, thank you!" - Heather Leonard
"Jen is AMAZING and her class is INVALUABLE! This class teaches you everything that school doesn't. Jen is down to earth, honest, and insightful. She takes the time to fine tune your choices and guides you towards making the best and appropriate adjustments for your scene. Katja is real & personable so you feel super comfortable. She too let's you know the real deal when it comes to auditioning...it doesn't get any better than that! After this class I feel so confident and I can't wait to apply all that I have learned in my next audition. This class is truly an investment worth making....you WILL NOT be disappointed!" - Miriam Morales
"As an actor, do yourself a service and take class with Jen. She is one of the most approachable, genuine, and friendly people. The atmosphere is an extremely safe and fun learning environment. Jen's feedback for scene work was spot on. She has an eye for adjustments and can clearly articulate what to do to bring your best to the work. I've learned so much and will definitely be back for more! Thanks Jen, you rock!" - Judilin Bosita
"For any actor who is serious about their craft, Jen’s class is a must. Her insight and direction about the preparation and commitment process is a valuable tool for your career. In Jen’s class, you will lean what your strengths are and how to use them effectively to showcase your talents. You will learn how to present yourself in the best light to potential casting directors. Jen provides you with an honest, and at times direct approach to help you nurture your tools to help you learn what it will take to succeed in your career. The focus of the audition process is a major step in helping you find work. The knowledge and experience that she passes on, will be an invaluable tool to your professional experience. This is a class that I highly recommend to anyone who has sights on making this their life choice." - Larry D. Kadish
"I loved the way you the class is set up. The first week was a great ice-breaker. We got to know you a little bit, and got some great information, advice, and perspective from behind the scenes. Some of your experiences are hilarious! Then we do our scenes. No pressure. Your love for actors is obvious and heartwarming. You want the best for us, and I have to say you’re a wonderful director! Not only are you insightful, but you know how to get terrific performances out of people. It was great to experience, and to watch you work with others. Your help with my comedy scene just completely turned it around for me, and I wound up doing a fabulous audition for Katja! I’d love to coach with you all the time!" - Ingrid Saxon
"I just wanted to take the time and say thank you. I learned more about comedy in twenty min. with you than I have in ten years of training at "professional" acting schools. I finally figured out how to not indicate and what makes things funny. Thank you thank you thank you, you really just opened up my range as an actor." - Jillian Federman
"There's no doubt an actor's life is a courageous existence, and in light of training, Jen's 4 Week Film/TV class becomes more than just "Another Class". She has the amazing ability to make you damn near forget you are there to work!!! You get the feeling you've known her all your life!! In her heart she's on your side! Hell, always having someone in the industry to watch in the end is just a added bonus!! Do yourself a favor, don't protect a career you don't have yet (agent or no agent). Great actors never stop learning. I know I'll be back for future classes". - Shawn Michael
"Jennifer Rudolph’s four week TV/Film Class is “a must-do course” for the actor who is serious about improving his or her acting/auditioning skills. I enrolled in Jen’s class for one specific reason: to receive honest straightforward feedback. Each week, Jen gave me a realistic assessment of my audition and then she provided me with specific directions in the areas that needed improvement. Jen critiques in a way that makes you feel that she is truly “on your side”. I appreciated the amount of individual time and attention I received in Jen’s course. For the last class, we had the valuable opportunity to read a scene before Katja Blichfeld. Not only did Katja give immediate verbal feedback after the reading, but she also took the time to provide written comments about the audition! I was so happy, not only to find out what a casting director actually thought of my audition, but also to receive a specific comment to keep in mind for improving future auditions. This was an extremely worthwhile course and I am very thankful to Jen and Katja for their truthful feedback. Without any reservations, I highly recommend this class. I am looking forward to enrolling in a future Green Room class". - Ashley-Brooke Silver
"THANK YOU! I am so grateful to have found your class. I'm flying to Orlando for three days to shoot a commercial, and even though that wasn't the emphasis of the class, I truly believe that learning those specific "on camera" skills gave me the confidence to get in front of the camera and book the job! 4 classes with youhas probably aided me more in my career than my 4 years of college." - Natalie Silverlieb
"Thank you Jen for this wonderful opportunity! As an actor I've attended some of New York's top acting schools, but what you learn in Jen's class you won't get anywhere else! Trust me! You can be a great actor, but if you can't get through the audition then what does that matter? In Jen's class you get to be in a casting director's head. Not only will you get to meet Jen, but you will get to meet other top casting directors such as NBC's Katja Blichfeld. You get to see and understand what they are looking for as soon as you walk through the door, sit in front of that camera, and perform. Not only are you trained on how to prepare for an audition, but both your headshots and resume are evaluated on how they are or aren't working for you. Personally I found out that the format of my resume was NOT working for me and Jen and Katja explained why. Katja even took time from her busy schedule to personally email me feedback on my performance! Jen has taught me so much and I'm leaving here with so much more experience than any other class I've attended." - Laura Aguinaga
“I really enjoyed Jen’s class, and I’ve already recommended it to other people. Jen is full of great advice, clear direction and lots of very funny stories. And unlike some casting directors I’ve met in the past, she makes it clear that she is truly interested in meeting new people What I valued most about Jen’s class is that she really gives you great material – I felt really well cast in both of my scene assignments and the scenes had lots of range, so it was a pleasure to work on them. And I could see that she had cast the other people in the class really well, too. Thanks, Jen!” - Jennifer Dorr White
"Jen's 4 Week TV/Film class is truly the ABC's of getting work in film and TV. (pun totally intended) She is exceptionally dry, funny and (most importantly) a great teacher. She really has been able to break down and teach something rather ephemeral and intangible. If you want the ultimate, pragmatic class in Film and TV, with an amazing coach, take this class." - Mark Delabarre
"What I most enjoyed about the class is Jen's straight forward no nonsense approach. She demystified the entire process of auditioning for film and television and gave excellent feed back. That as an actor I could apply right away and see a difference. Another great aspect of the class is actually getting to see yourself on camera. Walking away from the class with a video of your work is an invaluable tool. I've already recommended this class to quite a few friends and that's something I only do if I know it's going to be money well spent." - Josephine Love
"Dear Jen, You rock! Thanks for giving me such great perspective on how the industry works, especially regarding auditions and mailings from the eyes of a casting director. I now feel like I have a much firmer grasp of what is effective and what isn't, and as an unrepresented actor your class was just what I needed to push me in the right direction." - Christina Doggrell
"Jen's Film/TV class is amazing! Unlike other classes there is an extremely friendly atmosphere in a small informal setting. For an actor use to performing sketch and improv on stage, the audition process Jen teaches is world changing. Watching your fellow classmates make changes, and then watching yourself on tape, it is amazing to see the difference when the techniques are applied. I recently had an audition and felt I almost had a secret others didn't. Katja offers some great advice and makes you feel very comfortable during the audition process. Any actor who passes on this would be making a huge mistake!" - Artie Brennan
"Working with Jen was fantastic. You get the kind of tips that can make a real difference in any audition situation. Jen is honest, yet diplomatic about what you need to work on. So many people give you things not to do - Jen tells you what to do instead! The week after our first class I had an audition with Ross Meyerson (Rescue Me, etc.). Her advice was right on target. He recommended me to a friend of his and now I've booked a short film! That's right kids. One week after the first class." - Lori Hamilton
"You are awesome!! Your class is awesome!! I had a blast and thank you so much for all of the great direction, support, and smack-downs. =) You take a real personal interest in what we're walking away with, how things go for us in the future, and I think that that really sets you apart. Thank you." - Janine Kyanko
"This is the second time I have taken the audition class with Jen and I will be signing up again in the fall. At the end of class each week I go home with new way to look at the scene and what I could have done to make the audition better. One of the great things about working with Jen is that she takes personal time with each student and she is also very easy to talk too. I have taken many classes and this class is very special to me. Plus to meet another casting agent in the last class is priceless." - Ursula Farrell
"Jen's clear and forthright insight in understanding how a CD works, both in and out of the room, is, to understate, essential knowledge for every actor. Most important, Jen knows how to talk to actors like an actor and a CD, so you're taking--and watching your classmates take--really good coaching. The class is a great investment for short and long-term." - Matthew-Lee Erlbach
"I truly believe that when you are in the room with Jen, she gives you 100% devotion and genuine constructive criticism. Your time is well spent. This business can be so difficult, but she proves that she really loves and cares about the actor. I am so happy that I took her class.." - Andrea Patterson
"Having never met Jennifer before, I wasn't sure what to expect from her class. After the first class, I got the idea. Jennifer teaches with a real desire to deliver results, she wants her students to grow and her guidance somehow relaxes and encourages you to get there. Her direction is truthful and she identifies clearly what reads on screen. One of several great lessons that I learned from this class is that in every scene you perform your tone has to be appropriate for what’s really going on in the scene. Acting isn't just about showing off your chops, its about understanding and respecting the material and delivering it. I felt my confidence rise after taking Jennifer's class and my understating of scripts became clearer. I audition with greater confidence now as a direct result from Jennifer's class. I also seem to be booking more jobs as a result. -thank you mucho!" -Bettina Bilger
"I wanted to thank you for class, I feel capable of injecting my acting training into the immediacy of an audition to create a believable character. I am waiting to hear from Law & Order for the lead in an episode. (Jose ended up booking the role and this launched his career, see IMDB listing above) I made it to the director/producer session and received detailed information about the character which coincided with my own choices. My audition skills have seen immediate improvement since working with you and the other actors attending. I would recommend your class to any of my colleagues." - Jose Pablo Cantillo
"In a business with such an enormous amount of bullshit, Jen's down to earth, friendly personality actually caught me off guard. Such a relaxed comfortable atmosphere to work with a small group, and get a real look at yourself. Watching yourself back, with the info you have from Jen, is how to go about honing your skill. Jen helps you to pull apart the scene, find the clues and make the right choices. Watching the others do the same thing is equally as beneficial, because you begin to think like a casting director. This class is well worth the money and in my opinion a wise investment. You get the serious lowdown, not some "get dicovered overnight" fairytale." - Ed Mitchell
"Years ago in LA I took a class with a different, usually "big" CD every week. At least 2 dozen actors, no camera, & it was real obvious the majority of CD's were there for the $$. When I first got to Seattle I took a class with what I later found out was the most disliked CD in town, who cast the least amount of gigs in a low-gig town. This led me to be skeptical of anybody's CD class, but being so far unable to land an agent here led me to take a chance on you. I found you to be genuine, enthusiastic, and tactfully honest. I also liked the small class size and the chance to read for Katja. So while I'm aware of the people who think paying to read for possible gigs is "so not the way to go," I think you're doing a good thing, and I thank you for it." - Steven Sturm
"Warm, funny, and practical, Jen and Katja create an atmosphere where learning seems to happen almost by osmosis! It wasn't until I went to my first few auditions after taking this class that I realized how much I'd gained in terms of comfort, confidence, and my ability to analyze sides on the fly. It is such a great thing to take a class from someone who is deep on the inside of the business, yet still knows so much about the craft AND can talk to you like a peer. I'd recommend this class to anyone in a heartbeat, whether just starting out or looking to polish any rough edges." - Amanda Jones
"I had loads of fun and learned so much from you during your February on-camera class. It shows that you truly care about actors and want us to succeed. I enjoyed working on script analysis, as well as honing my on-camera presence. I look forward to putting these tools to use this season. Thanks so much for everything!!" - Kelly Tuohy
"Out of town on projects at the time, I flew into New York each week for this class, and it was worth every penny and hour of travel for the insights, feedback, networking and connections it provided. And the caliber of people in the class was reassuring---we were each in good company. A small price to pay for someone to stand by one of the doors to a successful acting career and escort you through." - Marc Raco
"I had taken countless audition classes over five years in New York before I met Jen. Now I wish I had just taken Jen's class right away. In four short sessions, she taught me what no one else had even come close to. Jen makes it very simple because, in fact, it is. After taking Jen's class, I feel confident that I understand what makes an audition great and what makes it forgettable. It really is in my power to make my auditions strong and memorable, and thanks to Jen, I know how to do that." - Darcy Miller
"In Jen's audition technique class you learn what you REALLY should bring to every audition, and practical techniques to use in every situation. Since taking the class I've gotten more call backs and role than before just stumbling around on my own." - Keisha Zollar
"What is most important about this class is that it teaches you, quite frankly, how to nail your auditions and get gigs. You will learn not only about yourself as an actor, but about the audition process and the nature of business with regards to what casting directors are looking for. Jen's method of straightforwardness and honesty humbles students and helps them benefit by learning about their weaknesses, thus becoming stronger actors. I had the pleasure of not only examining myself on video, but I was able to watch and learn from the critique of my classmates as well. Not only is the class an overall great learning experience, but Jen is such a pleasure to work with. She made my long commute worth the trip every class and I am forever appreciative of her teachings. I recently already booked a lead in an independent film which I am certain I would not have had it not been for Jen's class sharpening my acting skills. Bottom line, you will leave this class a better actor. " - Tim Lamendola
"I was called for an audition out of town, but was too busy to fly in to audition. Jenn worked with me to tape the audition so that I could mail it in and I got the call from them a few days later saying that they were flying me down to meet the producers because they wanted to meet me for the lead in their film. I got the part! Thank you Jen- you made it possible for me to audition for films out of town, without going out of town." – Johnson Cooley
"I loved Jen's classes so much that I flew cross-country every week for her! I consider it one of my all-time best investments towards my career. Jen's tell-it-like-it-is approach cuts through your B.S. without making you feel bad, and she always gives USEFUL and UNDERSTANDABLE pointers that you can apply to future auditions and camera work. Her "headshot blasting" sessions are a much needed reality check (and good for a few laughs), since your headshot is the only "first impression" that you're going to get in this business. I now have such a positive outlook and will be forever grateful to Jen Rudolph!" – Tiffany Towers
"I gained more out of Jen's four week class than I did in taking two years of workshops at other studios. She has a brutally honest approach to the business and to auditions, which is exactly what actors need to learn to understand how to audition well. She gives a concrete model of what casting directors are really looking for-something that seems so simple but eludes me and I think most actors most of the time. By working with Jen, I finally could pin down what had seemed off or out of control about some of my cold readings or auditions. It clicked. She helped me target my weaknesses, but also make every reading more consistent and confident. Two weeks after I ended the class, I was put to the test with my biggest audition yet. And I know it is with big thanks to Jen that I booked a principal role on Law and Order: SVU. She rocks! Jen for President!" – Whitney White
"Jen doesn't mess around -- she will be frank and direct with your progress, and can pick apart a scene quicker than anyone I know. I went from being really hesitant about my initial pre-read for a contract role on PASSIONS to making it all the way to LA for a screen test! Her direction and work ethic gave me the confidence that I needed to bring a dramatic soap scene to its knees. - Angela Tsai
"Jennifer Rudolph, in my opinion, is one of the best casting directors to work with. She's honest, direct and to the point. At the same time she's quirky and funny when she gives you feed back, which make her workshops a comfortable environment ,but she doesn't play around. Jen won't sugar coat her comments and has a natural way to pick apart a scene that makes you see things more clearly. I took her 4 week class last year and I believe it was one of the best investments I've made for my career. It is a small class which gives you plenty of one on one time with Jen. She gave me wonderful pointers on audition techniques that I honestly had not heard before and still continue to use. I met John Camilleri at Jen's class and not only have I been working with him this year, but I've booked some great roles this year. I've gotten call backs for everything I've auditioned for lately and John has been wonderful agent to work with. I give Jen credit for all of this. I strongly recommend Jen's classes and her private coaching. I know I will definitely be calling her for a one on one for my next audition." - J. Eddie Martinez.
"Jen Rudolph of Mitchell/Rudolph Casting cast me as a series regular in "Dante's Cove". We are now going back to film Season 2. After working with Jen, I feel like I'm ready to take on any role or audition. I've attended her workshops and have worked with her one-on-one. She is really good at helping you understand the material and the underlying aspects that make for a good audition and for good acting. Namely, being focused, intent, specific, etc. She is very real, which is such an important personal characteristic to have when trying to make it in the entertainment business. She tells it like it is and I greatly appreciate that. There's no fluff, no ass-kissing or trying to protect your ego. When Jen says something, you know it's true. There's no second guessing. I am very greatful for having met Jen and working with her on a professional level." – Josh Berresford
"Jen is a phenomenon. She is like a Chiropractor of acting, finding your kinks and giving simple adjustments to pop them into place; fixing the prevalent issue but also making the whole body of your work operate smoothly and effortlessly. We all get the sense when something's off, but once it's fixed and we know WHY it wasn't working, there is a permanent improvement to the entire skill with a
new range of motion and confidence. There is no more trial and error in your auditions, which are not the place for it anyway, so you go in with capability of a professional, which is expected. You could work years trying to discover it on your own. To put it simply...with Jen, you're a better actor by the end of each session, and there aren't many coaches that can make that claim." -Vince Cupone
"Jen Rudolph is one of the rare people in this industry who truly loves actors. She wants you to audition well. Working with with her one on one, she helps the actor to recognize their strenghts and weaknesses in auditioning and then fix any problems that get in the way of booking the role. I trust her judgement completely, especially when she gives it to me straight; she has helped to make me a better auditioner and actor all around. I highly recommend using her as a coach." – Stefanie Black
"Often times it's hard to find a coach that you jive with because everyone works differently. With Jen, she has such an easy way about her that I felt relaxed immediately. And when you're relaxed, you work better. Jen worked with me to help me understand how to connect to the copy. Half the time what you need is on the page and you just have to find it. Jen helped me open my eyes to the page. She is also knowledgeable about the business side and understands how it works. She helped me find what worked for me and how to apply it, to gain more callbacks and eventually more work. On a final note, she cares, and wants to see actors work." – Pete Postiglione
"Working with Jen either on specific audition material, or more"getting the genre" oriented fare has been like being under the tutelage of a skilled surgeon. She deftly cuts away at the extraneous noise of our work and urges us to reveal the heart of the piece, swiftly, with strength and without fear. She demystifies the differences between comedy and drama, film and TV--1/2 hr vs hour long formats and fills your toolbox piece by piece to ready you with all you need to ably move through what can otherwise be a confusing, emotionally trying muddle known as the audition process, with confidence. Whether you are navigating this part of the biz for the first time, or feel dull or weaker than you would like to, or are just a little worn by the challenge of trying to book in the most competitive market in the world- Jen can give you a (re)charge and (re)focus that is solid and makes sense. I really feel it when I am working with her, and I really feel it when I am not." – Sandriel Frank
"I recommend Jen's class to every actor I know. She really cares about actors, and has information that is incredibly valuable. She is honest without being insensetive, and will work with an actor on a scene until they've absolutely nailed it. She is also great at finding actor "ticks", the little things that might sabotage an audition, and helping to erase those bad habits. Don't sabotage your career, work with Jen!" – Kate Comer
"I walked into Jennifer's class clueless to the world of on-camera auditioning, and left feeling ready to get out there and be seen. Studying with a professional, like Jennifer, who is working in the casting field RIGHT NOW is priceless. Her very intimate class teaches students exactly what casting directors need to see from them to get the callback. No more, no less. Highly recommended for any age actor."- John Rochette, AEA member
"Jen is truly a Diamond in the rough !! Jen has mastered the art of blending no holds barred honesty with old fashioned encouragemnt and industry exprince into everything that comes out of her mouth. No matter what level you are on, Jen will work with you to cut through all of your personal traps and help lead you to the core of your potential. After working with jen I never tackled a script the same way again!!" - Seth Abrams
"Taking Jennifer Rudolph's on camera class, was one of the best decisions I made in the industry. After going to a seminar (Actors Think Tank 1) she, and Jeff Mitchell hosted , I felt the need to take her on camera class. The first day of class, she spells it out for you. What you must do to be successful. She gives you valuable Information that you will actually use. The class helps you build your skills and gives you confidence. While taking the class I booked a principal role on Law & Order and the agent I was freelancing with wants to sign me" - Jeff Greene
"Actors need to 'work out' the on-camera audition muscle and Jennifer's class is a great place to put it to work. Jennifer is terrific at keying in on the simple and effective audition. She is VERY supportive, honest in her keen insight as a casting director and genuinely wants to elevate the actor's audition technique (and let's face it: it will make her job and OUR job a lot easier!) Whether this is your first on-camera experience or you need a brush-up, you will find value in Jennifer's class." - Jessica Henson (Christine from the National Tour of "Phantom of the Opera")
"Every actor who's interested in doing Film & TV work should take this! Acting classes are great for keeping your chops up but none of them will ever teach you this practical technique that Jennifer does--how to act intimately and appropriately for the camera!" -Allen Enlow
"I took Jen's class and first of all I have to say I had a lot of fun and I met cool people. Listing to Jen confirmed things that I though about the business and she informed me of things I did not know. But most Important to me was I had the opportunity to ask questions, the questions that a casting director herself would answer about castings, as oppose to my peer's in the same boat asme telling me what "They Look For." Jen creates an atmosphere in which an optimal forum is present. If you are looking for that kick to get over the hump this class is for you." - John Bellomo
"Jen's workshop was great! I appreciate that she was simple and direct and that she did not just give genralities about the business. She told us how you conduct business in your office which is very practical and invaluable to me in understanding the reality of the audition process. She was very thorough in her critiques and more importantly very honest. Her feedback was very helpful in knowing how to approach a script in the audition setting and in knowing what is expected of an actor at a professional audition." - Rob Findlay
"I took your on camera course a few months ago, and it gave me the confidence needed to book a few jobs." (Including a principal role in a Sidney Lumet movie) - Chris Lucas
"I just wanted to say thank you so much for everything I learned in your class. I just got a supporting role in an independent film called, "Every Waking Moment". I start shooting this month. Thanks again!!" - Sarah Console
"Your approach is so 'right' - grounded, simple, real and direct. You create a very comfortable working environment - completely non-threatening, yet still open to necessary criticism solely for the purpose of growth. Your nature lends itself to this stuff! The things you said about 'being appropriate', 'natural', 'real' - these are all such obvious applications to 'life' so it makes perfect sense that they should be applied to any scene. Your workshop, for me, was about 'landing'. I've already taken off - it's easy to just fly around with no real set of directions. You gave me direction. I feel more grounded in the industry - accepting of where I am on my path, looking forward to continued progress - thanks to you. Your's was the first "workshop/class" situation of this sort that I have been a part of since college - needless to say - it's been a while... I now feel 100% confident with my ability to fully 'own' my auditions. Thanks again for everything." - Sheryl Dagostino
" I just wanted to say that your class was awesome and so are you!! I had a really good time and I learned a lot. Your a great teacher and it looks like you have fun doing it. It's by far the best class I have taken. Thank you so much." - Ron Falllica
"Your workshop has helped. I've recently booked roles in two indie projects, as well as the lead in a new play going up early next year. Thanks for all the tips/feedback!" - Adia Tucker
"The class had varying levels of experience and ability. During our one-on-one time working on-camera, you didn't shy away from hard, constructive criticism. I have no respect for the "sunshiny," empty praise that I've seen in some classes. You gave everyone honest, challenging feedback. Still, you managed to tackle something with each of us that needed work -- so we left feeling successful. I see why friends have recommended your class." - TJ Mannix
"I think it was very interesting being a beginner taking your class. It was definitely trial by fire since I had never auditioned before. But extremely informational, educational, and rewarding. With the pace and intensity ofthe seminar/workshop, I had no choice but to immediately immerse myself, to let go of my guard, and to dive right in. By the second class, I hadalready noticed a dramatic difference in my comfort level and confidence. Watching others was really helpful especially since we were all at different levels. I could pick up things up from them that I wouldn't have been able to if it was a class of just beginners. And, having them critique me was very helpful. The on-camera work (and having a tape of it) was enlightening. It enabled me, for the first time, to see myself and therefore I could watch work on and improve elements of my audition at home. But, most of all, having the small class size and the one-on-one analysis from you, an experienced professional in the industry, was invaluble." - Natalie Thomas
"Jen sent me the breakdown for a play she was casting via her e-mail database. I sent in my picture/resume, was called in to audition, and eventually was cast as Candy in "Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love! " I do not have legit representation and would not have had the opportunity to audition without an agent's submission. How cool is that?!" - Maggie Eilertson
" I just wanted to say thanks for the workshop I took with you last month. I felt like a got a lot out of it and the work came in so handy about two weeks ago. I did my showcase. A guy from a major movie studio came and asked me to adudition for a project he is working on. I went in. I was given a pack of sides. It was for the lead role. Then I came back within the hour and had my audition. He kept me in there for over an hour. Then he said I want you back for the callback tonight. When I got home that night I read my email and it turns out that he thought my audition was "very compelling. I had really captured the esscence of the role. Then on Tuesday morning at 9 I got a phone call congratualting me on the fact that I had landed the role." - JD Brookshire
"I wanted to thank you for class, I feel capable of injecting my acting training into the immediacy of an audition to create a believable character. I am waiting to hear from Law & Order for the lead in an episode. I made it to the director/producer session and received detailed information about the character which coincided with my own choices. My audition skills have seen immediate improvement since working with you and the other actors attending. I would recommend your class to any of my colleagues." - Joe Cantillo
"The number of people was perfect. Tons better than the overcrowded classes you sometimes get at other places and I've commented to them in their suggestion box. One of the primetime intensives I took had 22 people and even the C was rather upset as it went more than an hour overtime. Along with this, I went way beyond my present budget to take your class but it was well worth it. That old adage: you get what you pay for" is proven once again. I liked the way you scheduled things overall and that you really gave a lot of time to people. Thanks again!" - Sue Crozzoli
"Jen is passionate and focused. She is upfront and honest with everyone she works with and knows how to get the best work out of you. Jen's coaching will give you a practical approach to on-camera auditioning; techniques you can use again and again. I'd recommend Jen Rudolph to anyone truly interested in the business." - Josh Gibson
"Jen Rudolph's workshop taught me to dissect and rebuild a script into something that will stand out from the hordes of other auditioners out there. It's easy to give an adequate, generalized reading, but Jen teaches you to move beyond the basics and give a specific, dynamic audition. Since taking her class I've seen a huge increase in the number of callbacks and bookings I get. I definitely recommend her class." - Melanie Wehrmach
