John Robert Powers Reviews

First of all they have my grandson's name spelled wrong. I spoke to several individuals from this company that rest assured me this was not a talent scout, and no money would be involved. They sent a script for my grandson to read during the Zoom, “I am still waiting for him to read the script.” We were told “Oh not you do not get to read the script until we finish and if we accept him in our program with a fee”. Several individuals within the Zoom ask several times for the payment not one time did we receive that information. One gentleman “staff member” came in the Zoom with his hat to the side like he was a gangster. Another staff member came in the Zoom like he had just got out the shower “soaking wet”. There were roughly 200 individuals in the Zoom. By time I had enough there were 60 individuals. The Zoom was a waste of 3 hours and my grandson rehearsing a script that he never had a chance to recite.

JRP Fame is a talent development program. They are there to help give guidance and tools to pursue the acting/modeling dream. They were professional and encouraging. They never promised my daughter would be a star from the classes, but the did give her confidence and some direction. Yes it did cost, just as all training cost. After completing her course she was part of a showcase. One of the talent agencies at her performance is interested in signing her. It was a very positive experience.

These acting courses were truly amazing for my daughter. From the start, the staff was incredibly encouraging and adaptive in helping her attend, even when scheduling conflicts arose. The Studio Directors ensured she could participate in all classes, including the valuable Celebrity Workshop. Once enrolled, my daughter worked closely with Ms. **, who was attentive in helping her develop new acting skills. Ms. **, one of the makeup coaches, was a standout, her focus and engagement with students of all ages was remarkable to witness. I had enrolled my daughter to help build her self-esteem and confidence, and the program has exceeded my expectations. She is now part of a Thespian Group that is pushing her to think and perform outside her comfort zone.

0 stars. I signed up for a Zoom for my 7 year old son. The zoom started at 7. By time they got to my son it was 9:35 at night. He was the youngest in the breakout room and Gianna, the agent could clearly see that. She chose older kids and adults before choosing him. She gave these other people plenty of time to adjust their cameras and make any other necessary adjustments they needed. When she finally called my son who is now beyond tired I tried to adjust the camera. She then rudely said, "Your camera is moving too much." I said, "Give me a second to adjust." I did. Then I tried to adjust again and she disconnected the call after waiting for two and a half hours!!!! After she let so many other older people make necessary adjustments. She even let one girl audition who didn’t even apply. It was the sibling of another auditioner. Shame on JRP AND SHAME ON YOU GIANNA. You are horrible.

To start off, I was 16 years old and living in a very rural area with not much around me. I heard an advertisement about JRP on the radio. We had an online audition and afterwards they said I had potential. I was a bit skeptical because I thought I flunked my audition but I used some money I had saved up from my job and chose to follow my gut instinct.

Where do I begin? How about at the FALSE ADVERTISEMENT! I heard their commercial on the radio, which sounded like there was an audition for a project for certain ages in the areas of acting and modeling. They ask you to bring photos and everything. Like everyone else, I walk in with my daughter excited about the opportunity, provide my photos and wait for direction only for this guy to come out begin talking about what we were actually doing there. There was no project to audition for. The audition was for them to see if you (your child) had what it takes for them to be trained by this company! My 5 year old goes through a series of questions where they are trying to see her memorization skills and the "audition" was done. I was handed a packet and told to read it over thoroughly and bring it back the following day because he was still deciding on whether my daughter would be a good fit.

In 1977-1979, Palm Springs, CA, on a dare from my girlfriend, we enrolled to JRP. I was raising 2 children on my own and they were willing to work with me financially! I was so embarrassed… I had no idea how frumpy or plain I was. I learned how to walk and speak with clarity; not be afraid of my own shadow. Makeup! I learned how to apply makeup cleanse and care for my skin without looking like a clown. In other words, “Be a lady”. To this day, I value my learning experience. I’m often told that I am a beautiful lady inside and out. Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am 71 years young.

My family has had a great experience with this company. They are knowledgeable and professional. I would absolutely recommend John Robert Powers if you are serious about getting into the entertainment industry.

My Director Jessica ** was amazing and really helped me learn more about the industry and feel confident for showcase. I feel so much more prepared for the industry than before I took these classes, thank you!

I told myself that it’s too late for me to be a model, but then I decided to take the risk and to try with John Robert Powers. They prepared me for it and taught me everything I needed to know to be a successful model.
