Frequently asked Questions
JRP offers a unique opportunity for performers to rehearse their skills with industry professionals and showcase their talents in front of leading agents, managers and casting directors from the entertainment industry. For 100 years, we’ve guided performers in how to earn, and maintain, a competitive edge over their rivals. Famous Hollywood stars still work with acting coaches because the best-rehearsed candidates are the most successful.
We put a heavy emphasis on providing the best possible training for our clients to help them prepare to earn talent representation. Every famous Hollywood star still works with an acting coach and continues their training, because the best-rehearsed candidate are the most successful.
Performers commit to a set amount of rehearsal time, scheduled on weekends, to develop their skills and learn their scripts. Auditions and showcases with agents, casting directors or other industry professionals will also occur on a weekend following the rehearsal schedule.
Any other rehearsal time is not required, but encouraged, and will be up to the performer to achieve on their own if that’s something they desire to do.
No. We are looking for people with a high level of interest and dependability. When our clients meet top industry professionals, their conduct is a direct reflection of our coaching.
We have excellent relationships with the best agencies and casting directors because we are known for presenting only the most talented, enthusiastic and professional candidates.
We are not an agency. As in any career, training and marketing are an up-front investment of time and money. The most successful models, actors, and talent will tell you that the learning process never ends. In today’s fast-paced environment, very few agencies in the world will front costs necessary to begin your career. There ARE “discoveries”, but like lottery winners, they are rare. The vast majority of professionals have to work for their success and do so by continuing their education of the craft and business.
At John Robert Powers, we give you the training, guidance and confidence to help you attain your goals in the entertainment industry.
