Testimonials
Will Smith – Academy Award Nominee, The Pursuit of Happyness and Ali
“Behind every great actor is a great teacher. I wouldn’t be where I am without you!”
Virginia Madsen – Academy Award Nominee, Sideways
“After floundering in a career that seemed to be going nowhere…I started working with Aaron on my audition and immediately noticed a difference not only in my approach to a character, but in the reaction I received…then along came the script Sideways.
“After working on the scenes together…discussing character and working in a straightforward, no nonsense approach, I felt not only ready but also confident enough to put the script down and say,’This part is mine. I don’t need to look at it any more.’
“I got the most important job of my life. And it is because of my work with Aaron. Because of him, over twenty years after I started acting, I finally got my big break…Thanks Aaron.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
“I love his passion…he gives me exactly what I need…he’s amazing.”
“I have been working with Aaron for about three years now. He has helped me gain the confidence I need to go into an audition, and risk it all. Before I met Aaron, I would go into auditions and be too nervous to give it all I had. I would get frustrated with myself, because in my hear, I knew I could do it.
“I would recommend Aaron to anyone who is serious about acting. If you know in your heart that this is what you are SUPPOSED to do and “when you are ready to do what you came here for,” then it will happen!”
Ashley Johnson
“I’ve seen Aaron work at his studio and on set. His understanding of what makes actors tick is extraordinary. He inspires actors to shut out the voice in their heads and trust their instincts. Over and over I’ve seen him give confidence where there was little and clarity where there was confusion. He treats all students be they mega stars of just starters with the same respect and firm guidance. Ultimately he helps actors give birth to miracles of their own creation.”

“Thanks for all your hard work in helping me. I didn’t know anything when I started and slowly but surely your words of wisdom started to materialize in me and I just booked the last 2 auditions that I went on last week. The SAG one that I just booked, the director told me I was the best actor that they had seen all day. My dreams are starting to come true because of you.”

“Living in a business world, hearing from a top-notch coach is rare. My journey as an actor has been a long one, bouncing from workshop to workshop. Regardless of all the advertising in this world, word on the street is that you’re the best, not in Hollywood, but maybe in my generation.”
