| 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! |

| I had the pleasure of attending John Casablancas Chicago and seeing their terrific talent. Their students are properly prepared, well-trained and possess the right skills, techniques and traits necessary to audition in this business. The energy, attitude and atmosphere of the school was wonderful. I always look forward to going back and discovering more fantastic actors and models. |

| I was very impressed with my visit to John Casablanca's Chicago office. The staff really understands what it takes to prepare young talent to audition in front of industry guests. The kids I met with seemed to be having a blast and that's one of the most important things when it comes to child actors. |

| 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. |
