Recommendations

"Janey's classes are mind opening for an actor and far surpass any other lesson that I have had."
- ZANDER NEWTON, LA, star of IRON CROSS by Joshua Newton, for which Janey was Zander's acting coach when he played the 1940's version of a Joseph Simonitz, played by Roy Scheider.

 “Janey has helped me improve my confidence in acting so much, and helped me prepare my audition monologues for performing arts schools. I really enjoy her lessons and find her direction very helpful. She was really supportive all throughout the audition process, and I am now on the Drama course at the Arts Educational in Tring.”
