Chicago Testimonials

Awesome! That is the word to describe JC-Chicago. We are continually amazed with the professionalism of all of the JC actors. We have seen the JC actors at scouting weekends in Chicago, always totally prepared, always totally professional. We are impressed with their training. We have already discovered one young actor, Jonah Crosby. Jonah booked his first Los Angeles audition as an M.P. Management client, after CeCe Cline and Cassiopeia Productions auditioned him. This truly goes to show how tremendous the training is at JC. Carmela, Director of Education at JC, truly cares about her actors. One great school. One great director.


I can honestly say that every actor I met at JC Chicago was outstanding. I could see that the JC classes had turned these actors into polished, confident and talented actors who have very bright futures in the entertainment industry and in life in general. Thank you to Carmela Lucarelli for her amazing organizational skills and for introducing us to this wonderful group of actors. I look forward to casting more of your students.


Chicago's John Casablancas school has some great young developing talent. Many have a Chicago feel which is often appreciated when casting is specifically looking for that authentic essence in a role. Some just outright have the potential of the "It Factor". John Casablancas brings a large group of talent together to make my job of scouting talent much easier!


I recently graduated from John Casablanca’s in Chicago and now living in LA 2 months later with a manager and agent. Plus I booked my first audition for a webisode in the first 2 weeks I was out here! The acting coaches at John Casablanca’s in Chicago are outstanding they have taught me so much about acting, being confident, and life. Plus JC Chicago has an amazing director who loves her job and cares a lot about the kids there. Going to this school is a great way to meet managers and agents from all over that want to sign you. JC Chicago made my dreams come true and they can make your come true as well!

This is a letter to show my deepest gratitude and heartfelt appreciation for Carmella Lucarelli, Miss Christine, and all of the other coaches. I wiill be the first to admit I was EXTREMELY skeptical about this and made my feelings known. My son has been taking acting classes at JC for awhile now and has always been sort of a loner in practicing for auditions and such. To say this has changed our lives is an understatement. My quiet child took the runway by storm!!! I cannot tell you the awe and pride I felt when other parents/managers/talent and acting managers bragged to me how well he knew his material and how awesome he is. I never knew!!! He also found a new love of the runway.. And every single manager/scout was someone big and completely legit. This was an unbelievable experience. From a single mother who is the sole wagearner and a nurse whho scrapes by from week to week-if you get this opportunity SIEZE it!!! JC will prepare you, back you up, and guide you!!! We have also developed very tight bonds and we are all sticking together in this for those of us starting in CHicago and those of us contemplating a move to LA!! Doing this completely on my own I can't imagine doing it any other way than with John Casablancas, Carmella and her crew! Thank you for such an incredible experience!!!

Lisa   (Parent of Kyle writing about John Casablancas - Chicago)


JC Chicago is an excellent resource for parents who find themselves with a talented child! If you and your child need guidance and creative direction for a career in the Arts -- or if you just want to polish your child and get them ready for the world, JC Chicago is a great place to be affiliated with!


As always the talent I saw last week in at the John Casablanca Chicago location was exceptional! Their students were well prepared and focused. Hats off to their instructors for providing top notch training. I look forward to seeing my call backs in Los Angeles. Most importanly I would like to thank the staff for giving me the opportunity to visit their school and look forward to returning!


Before attending JC I was shy and I held back a lot, I was not using all of my potential, nor did I know much about make-up or fashion. I had first wanted to model, I had never thought I could act. As soon as I started classes I began coming out of my shell, even my family and friends were noticing my transformation! Who know such a thing could change a person? JC has given me more opportunities than I could have imagined. The coaches and my director Carmela are all AWESOME at what they do and are there to help you so you can succeed! I have received countless callbacks from agents and managers who came in to JC. I have 3 agencies here in Chicago, and am in the process of signing with a huge manager from LA! I have also been on the cover of two magazines! It has now been 3 years since I started at JC, and I am now an outgoing, confident, loud, beautiful young woman. I feel so accomplished! I am sure you have wanted to be on something such as a TV show, or in one of those magazines you see in the stands, or walk the runways of Milan and Paris. JC is the start of you dreams and your future career!

Taylor   (Graduate of John Casablancas - Chicago)


Kelly and I had a very enjoyable and successful day at the John Casablancas in Chicago. Your students were prepared, looked darling, and for the most part had age appropriate pictures. Please thank your hard working staff for us!


I had the pleasure of attending a John Casablancas Chicago showcase this past weekend. I must say that I was more than impressed with the students training and professionalism. Carmela and the rest of the staff are incredibly passionate about their students and are a pleasure to work with. We are looking forward to coming back soon to meet new talent!!


"I just loved meeting all of John Casablanca's students. I couldn't believe how many great kids we saw. They have a great eye and run a tight ship. Which we appreciate. I can't wait to go back to find my new stars!"


I had the pleasure of attending a showcase last week at John Casablancas-Chicago and I must say that it was a rewarding experience. The kids were great, well prepared and totally focused on what they had to do. My callback list was quite long. And Carmela and her staff were very helpful and professional and they made a long day flow smoothly. My assistant and I felt totally welcome and at ease Thanks for a great time and I look forward to coming again. But not when it's cold, sleeting and gray! What's up with that?


I recently had the pleasure of visiting John Casablancas, Chicago. I was very impressed with the training the students had received. Their students were prepared and delivered excellent performance and audition skills. I saw great talent and look forward to having some of their students travel to Los Angeles to further explore this side of the business. Thank you again!


Years ago I was an actress with a degree in theater and music and a background in dance from Columbia College Chicago. I have been a teacher for 15 years and now taking acting on film at the J.C center. The coach is great and so is the staff at the JC center. Taking acting on film has helped me get headshots, resume, and 5 monologues, and lots of commercials that I practiced in class and on film. I have more confidence, all of this help has allowed me to be ready for new opportunities coming my way. Thank you!

Anna   (Graduate of John Casablancas - Chicago)

John Casablancas Chicago brings talent to the table. The facility is fantastic, the staff is dedicated and the students are always well prepared; for acting AND for life."

Hi, my name is Elijah. I'm 8 years old and attend classes at John Casablancas in Chicago. I love going to my classes, my teachers, and Ms. Carmela. I've taken a class to learn how to do Commercials and another class to learn more Monologues. I learned commercials, monologues. My favorite is "What a Waste". It's a fun one to do. My next class is a modeling class. I've made some great friends at John Casablancas and I always love to go to class. I feel like I get to be myself there. My mom says I have a great imagination and that helps me with my acting. I can't wait to see what else I learn. John Casablanca school is so great. I love going to classes and I'm so happy my family found it so that I can go to school there.

Elijah   (Student at John Casablancas - Chicago)


My son, Elijah, attends classes at John Casablanca in Oak Brook Terrace (Chicago). He is about to finish up with his 2nd class and start his 3rd class in a couple weeks. I signed him up for the 3 year program and have not regretted in for one moment. The Chicago John Casablancas staff is absolutely awesome! They have helped Elijah find his true self and learn how to express himself so that he feels comfortable and has no fear to be who he is. I am so grateful to have found John Casablancas, a place where my son can finally learn how to fine tune his natural talent. I spent 3 years looking for the right place and the right people. I finally found it in John Casablanca-Chicago. Thank you to Carmela and all her staff for becoming part of our extended family!!!! You all rock!!!!

Words cannot express my thoughtsand feelings and what I visualized at JC-Chicago. “Eyes have not see; nor ears heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” (Cor. 2:9) It was AWESOME, WELL-ORGANIZED and BEAUTIFICALLY setup for everyone who participated; especially for the children. My hat goes off to JC & Staff. Without all of you (Carmella, Maria, Kristine, Kiea and Katrell. “It would not have happen.” Your love, commitment, hard works and patient took us to Los Angeles. “You Girls Rocks” “2010” We Win!!!!!!

Wanda   (Parent of Juanita writing about John Casablancas - Chicago)


I just wanted to say "Thank you" to the John Casablancas in Chicago. This has been everything that I thought it would be. My daughter Sara loves going to class every week with Mrs. KIea. I also always feel welcomed by the School Director Carmella, anytime I need anything she is always there to answer my questions. Sara just recieved her 2nd callback from an LA agent, and when I called Carmella to talk about this she really took the time to explain the process and what decisons to make. That meant alot to Sara and myself. My daughter is now signed with two agents, one in Chicago and one in Los Angeles. Sara is so excited she cant stop talking about it! Mrs. Kiea is wonderful. Anytime Sara needs help with a script, monologue, or before an audition Mrs. Kiea goes above and beyond to prepare Sara. I have noticed such a change in Sara, she is very confident, happy, and works harder for her dreams. As a Parent, I want whats best for my daughter and I truly feel this program is great! Thank you to Carmella and Mrs. Kiea for everything!

Vicki   (Parent of Sara writing about John Casablancas - Chicago)


This program is awesome! I have learned so much and it has been the best experience of my life. The coaches are amazing and know so much about the industry. I feel so welcomed every week by the JC coaches and Director every week! Thank you so much for making this the bext thing I ever did!

In addition, I feel that it is necessary to make sure that I thank Carmela Lucarelli and her wonderful staff on making my visit very welcoming.Cheers!


Just want to send a huge thank you to everyone at Oak Brook Terrace in Chicago! Less than 6 months ago we went to an open call we heard advertised on the radio. My ten year old son always wanted to be an actor but I had no clue where to start or who to trust. The people at JC really cared about us and about what was right for Caleb and for our family. We were very skeptical at first. In the last 6 months every opportunity we were promised us has been more than we thought it would be. We have been put in front of many of the top agents in the country and through the training Caleb got in class (which he loved) he was well prepared for those meetings. One of his callbacks was for a convention in New York called IMTA. We were told this would be an opportunity of a lifetime for him. IMTA was everything it was advertised to be. We not only had a wonderful time but Caleb received over 15 callbacks from many of the top agents and managers in Los Angeles and New York. This put us in a position to choose who we wanted to work with and to be sure our son really did have the talent he needed to keep going. Now Caleb is represented in Chicago and is working regularly! We are on our way to Los Angeles in the near future to sign with an amazing agent and work in that market also! He's loving every minute! Thanks so much JC-Chicago! We wouldn't be here without you!

Jadie   (Parent of Caleb writing about John Casablancas - Chicago)


All I have to say about JC is do it!! JC has opened so many doors for me and I learned so much! Its was great!!

I now have two agents and am working with my agents on a monthly basis. I am in Kohls, JC Penny, and American Girl ads all over the state. Without JC I would not be where I am now. You really need training to be in this Industry and thats what I have now..Training!

Jessica   (Graduate of John Casablancas - Chicago)

Molly   (Student at John Casablancas - Chicago)


I am a more confident person. I have learned to be more energetic. I really enjoyed Ms. Kiea's class. The people here are really nice, and I wish the classes were longer!


I was at JC a while back, and just today my dad told me about an audition there today but unfortunately I didn't attend. Instead I looked and explored the website remembering the good times and how much I missed going there every Saturday. When I did auditions and acting sessions at JC were the most amazing experience. I loved my teacher Ms. Maggie, she and the rest of the class were the best! I was taught valuable things not just in my acting career, that I just wanted to learn not just for auditions but for the sake of knowing! Overall, it's a memorable experience that really makes you go: "Woah!" I LOVE JC!

Regina   (Graduate of John Casablancas - Chicago)

I attended the John Casablanca Chicago school, scouting for new talent and had an excellent experience. The staff, headed by Carmela Lucarelli, was organized, friendly, and really cared about their students. The talent that I saw was very well-prepared and I e-mailed the school a list of my callbacks. Most of the callback students have already contacted me, which shows that the school is on top of things. Overall, I had a great trip and look forward to seeing the school again in the future.

I am so happy to have become a part of this great JC center!

When I get rejected by agents my coaches help me get right back up and feel so much better. I love my coaches. I have made so many friends! I have a blast here at JC.
