John Robert Powers Testimonial
I would love to be first to let you know that your student, Jason Quack, who had caught my eye at JOHN ROBERT POWERS Beverly Hills... just booked a COKE commercial. It's Jason's first booking and he is thrilled. I think Jason has a lot of potential and this will be his first booking of many. Congratulations!
Joy Di Palma, Real Life Management
Thank you for the opportunity to view your terrific clients!

Dear JRP,
I would like to take time to tell you what John Robert Powers has done for our family.
I have a twelve-year-old daughter who has been attending training classes at your Seattle school for a little over a year, and the changes your training has made to my daughters life is wonderful.
May was suffering from very low self-esteem, and none existent self-confidence. These two personality problems occurred due to the fact that she was not able to read. Since she was in first grade the schools kept assuring me that she did not have a reading problem, she was suffering from maturation and I would see a difference next year. By the time we reached the fourth grade it was evident that this was not a maturation problem, so she was re-evaluated. Her unique needs were recognized, the school modified her curriculum, and she began to read. The down side is in the years that she could not read, her self-esteem, and self-confidence took a beating. My husband, John, has a cousin who is currently a working model and actress, so he insisted that ? enroll May into modeling and acting classes immediately. It was just my luck that no more than a week later I heard an advertisement on my local radio station encouraging people to come Seattle and audition for JRP. I signed May up and she was accepted. I honestly have to say that I was still very skeptical that this training was going to make a difference, however John wanted her to participate. Since attending your school her teachers have seen a drastic improvement in her self-esteem, willingness to talk in front of the class and try, even if she did not get the results she was looking for. I am so thankful that my husband was so insistent about the training.
May has been chosen from many candidates to participate at the IMTA competition in New York. I am excited to see her face when she realizes her accomplishment. As far as John, May, her sister and myself we have already won the best competition of all. May is growing into a happy self-confident teenager who can see with her own eyes that it is O.K. to be an individual and she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. The other plus is that her grades are constantly improving every quarter.
Thank you JRP. Your school has made a wonderful difference for our family.

After a nationwide radio talent search, John Robert Powers selected five winners to attend Walt Disney Pictures' world premiere of "Ice Princess", starring Joan Cusack, Kim Cattrall, and Michelle Trachtenberg. The film's premiere was held at the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on March 13th and opens nationwide March 18th.
The five lucky winners were flown to Los Angeles and given the full Hollywood treatment, complete with a limousine escort, hotel accommodations, a shopping spree, and full make-over before their star studded arrival on the red carpet for the premiere of "Ice Princess."
The girls were also given access to the star studded after-party, where the parking lot of the El Capitan Theatre was transformed into an ice rink. Attending guests and the film's stars were able to show off their own skating skills.

What do these people have in common? Michael Jordan, Tony Hawk, Mary Lou Retton? They all had a dream and they worked hard to acheive it, just like I am. Acting is my dream. I have ben given the opportunity to pursue this dream from John Robert Powers and I am putting all of my effort into acheiving it in as many ways as possible.
I have been practicing and using techniques taught to me at John Robert Powers not only in auditions but in normal everyday situations as well. I have stopped placing my hands in my pockets, started keeping eye contact to who ever is speaking to me, and am more prepared with my answers when I reply. At John Robert Powers, I am taking a dance class, a commercial skills class and attending as many auditions as possible.
My attendance has been perfect except for this month where I missed one commercial skills class and one dance class. All 3 months before these two incidents I have had perfect attendance. I do not just practice what I learn at JRP, but I take my newly acquired learning and put it to use outside of JRP. This has proven beneficial to me. Because of this, I have recently gotten a call from Julie Wolff of The Morgan Agency congratulating me on an audition tape I sent in. The Morgan Agency very much liked my performance and would like to sign me.
In the future I would like to pursue this more with a possible trip to L.A. in the late summer. I have not just planted my roots in JRP Acting School, but outside of them as well. I am looking into enrolling into a fall acting class at Notre Dame De Namur University. Also, I would like to further my singing abilities, so I am searching for a voice instructor as well. In addition, to hone in on things I can do to gain experience in theater, I have been looking into a theatrical drama group named "Broadway by the Bay". I hope that this will give me the edge I need in tackling all my inhibitions in performing in front of new people. I hope that I set an example for all th? students in John Robert Powers in reaching for and acheiving my goal.

Mr. Ron Patterson, President
John Robert Powers
Dear Ron,
I wish to personally thank you for a marvelous experience via the iPOP (International Presentation of Performers) event held in Los Angeles, January 2008. My 12 year old daughter, Lilly Abraham has signed with David Schember and Jackie Lewis at Diverse Talent Group and has a resourceful manager, April Mills of Mills Management in Los Angeles. We will be relocating to Sherman Oaks, CA from Scottsdale, AZ within the next two weeks. All of this has taken place thanks to your iPOP event and the unyielding support from Claude Hart at JRP Southwest. It was an absolute pleasure meeting Suzanne Von Schaack, as well and she kindly selected Lilly to participate in the Grease finale showcase.
In fact, I was so impressed by our overall experience that I would embrace the opportunity to promote it professionally on your behalf within the John Robert Powers organization. Your philanthropic support of Yiyi McManus illustrates yet another impressive aspect of the John Robert Powers franchise and iPOP philosophy to assist young performers to succeed in a challenging industry.
We participated in a similar event with IMTA a few years ago, but the experience was not the same caliber as iPOP.
It would be an honor and pleasure to meet with you in person if possible. I will be flying to Los Angeles next week to finalize our living arrangements, school enrollment for Lilly and employment for myself. Thanking you in advance.
Warm regards,
Holly Fitch
