In Their Own Words
“Not often do acting coaches come along who have, in their capacity, a rich understanding of: psychology, human behavior, and story. Jordana is one of those rare breeds of artist coaches that breathes life into the actor’s process and helps to synthesize all the different elements required of us, as actors, to live freely in the role.
However, that is not even her best quality as it comes to this sometimes messy work of finding the truth and humanity in a character. That would be her ability to communicate and collaborate in a way that allows your ego to set itself aside, so that your true creativity can come springing forth.
There are very few guarantees in this business, BUT… if what you hope to get out of a series of coaching sessions is
Growing as an actor.
Crafting the role to allow you to flourish creatively.
Having confidence in your unique interpretation of the role.
Then I guarantee… your time with Jordana will not be in vain.”
Sharif Atkins, Actor
ER, White Collar, NCIS Hawaii, Guardians of the Galaxy
“I met Jordana during Meisner training and she was one of the first people I called for coaching when I booked my first job as a lead on a TV series. She is incredibly intuitive and has a way of communicating with actors, knowing exactly what’s needed to bring the actor and the scene to life in a new and meaningful way.
I call her “the doctor” because she can take one look at the scene and know exactly what to prescribe.”
Elsha Kim, Actor
The Garcias, Hitbaby
“Jordana is an excellent on set coach. She brings out the absolute best out of actors. She creates a safe place for exploration and discovery which in turn makes me more confident to try different things.”
Fernando Villena, Director
Dear Rider, Giving Voice, Any One of Us
“When I was asked to do 4 American Women, a new play by David Mamet, Jordana does what she always does - she helped me get there, to find the truth of the character.
The wants of this person, their perspective and point of view. The honesty and the why? Why in the hell is this person telling us this? What is the motivation? Sometimes I need help finding those things and when I do, I know where to go. Somehow she sees it even when I sometimes cannot.
Jordana is a joy to work with and I genuinely cherish her coaching abilities and thank my stars I have her to go to when I need the help. Which is probably more often than I call on her!
Jordana makes me better. Every. Single. Time. ”
Heidi Sulzman, Actor
The L Word - Generation Q, Hell or High Water, Yellowstone
“Jordana was just the teacher I needed at the right time. Me being a former athlete there was times when I needed that extra push or kick in the ass & also times when I needed someone to wrap their arms around me, Jordana understood & did just that. Her passion for not only her own craft but for other artists & their crafts is rare to find & is something that should be acknowledged.
One of my favorite things about working with her was she was always open to being collaborative, if something didn’t make sense to me or if I had an idea that was different than hers she would always let me go & really just enhance it when she could. She will let you find it on your own which is a very important & valuable trait to have as a teacher.
You do have to come prepared, she expects the best out of you because she will give you her best. Plus she’s funny as hell lol.”
Lawrence J. Hughes, Actor
Mike, Christmas With You, Skelly
“Jordana pushes creative boundaries while creating a safe space for you to do your best work. She is brilliant and passionate about her craft.
I find great discoveries every time I work with her. She is genius. ”
Jessica Nielson, Actor
American Horror Story, Spanky, My Crazy Birth Story
“Jordana is a rad human being whose coaching has been instrumental to me growing as an actor. She is someone I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to further hone their craft, go beyond what is on the page, and ground their work. She always delves deep into the text to flesh out objectives and characters that are honest, specific, and true. She provides a safe environment to explore and create and honestly listens to what you think and how you connect to the material and character and works with you based on where you are at. She elevates every scene I bring to her and makes it more dynamic by analyzing scripts and my acting in real time and that has been so helpful whenever I feel stuck in a scene.
Jordana has also helped me through my nerves and understands all of the anxieties that come with being an actor, I am really grateful to have her in my corner to help me through difficult scenes and to clear any doubts that I have floating around in my head. I was lucky enough to work with Jordana and it was such a great learning experience to watch her work and see that she really practices what she teaches.
Jordana is an amazing coach who truly cares and will elevate your work and make you a better actor!”
Andie Ju, Actor
Westworld, 9-1-1, Stargirl
“Jordana is an amazing coach that I will continue to work with for my acting. Her attention to detail in script analysis is remarkable and her ability to help students like myself craft that into genuine emotion and character relationships has helped me book multiple roles. After coaching with Jordana, I have a much clearer view of my character and leave feeling confident in my work as an actor.”
Martin Mckenzie, Actor
The Green Couch, How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
“I had the privilege to direct some of Jordana’s students in a short film recently, and they were incredibly kind, took direction beautifully, and were absolute joys to work with.”
Jackie Geary, Director/Actor
13 Reasons Why, The Goldbergs, White House Down
“Jordana has a wealth of knowledge and experience that allows her to give actors exactly the right note to take their performances to the next level. Her approach is confident, all-encompassing, and full of passion, and she quickly gets actors to bring absolute truth to their work. I’ve witnessed countless actors find success through their work with Jordana, and I’ve also experienced it firsthand; her work undeniably helped me get into grad school.”
Chase Studinski, Actor
The Seagull, Trolius and Cressida, Measure for Measure
“Jordana brings precise care to each coaching session, and leaves no stone unturned. Whether you’re auditioning for a two-line guest star or series regular, her feedback is specific and deep to help you become the best actor you can be — AND stand out in the room.
She has a special talent to see right through to the heart of the actor, and help amplify their unique perspective in each audition. Every coaching with Jordana has left me with some of the best work and self tapes I’ve turned in. Can’t recommend enough! ”
Michelle Khare, Actor
Karma, How to Survive a Break-up
“Jordana is a highly skilled and intuitive acting coach, teacher, and director. She naturally creates an environment in which it's safe to be vulnerable, messy, and to grow. She leads with humor, wit, compassion, and authenticity.
From working with Jordana, I've been challenged to reach new depths of artistry and to confront limiting beliefs. I highly recommend her to the artist who is serious about their craft and their career.”
Jessica Bishop, Actor
The Best Man: The Final Chapters, The Willowbrook, Full Circle
“I have had the privilege of having Jordana as a teacher and coach for over seven years, and her impact on my acting has been immeasurable. Without her coaching and guidance, I would not have made it into an MFA program or have the career I do now. Jordana’s ability to bring out the best in all of her students comes from her immense compassion and unique insight. Her caring yet direct approach places her students at ease and creates an environment in which students feel safe to explore, thereby providing students with the necessary skills and confidence needed to allow their best work to shine through. Additionally, she does an extraordinary job working in collaboration with her students, meeting them where they are and drawing out their best performances. I cannot express how lucky I am to have had Jordana on my side throughout my training, the impact she has had on my work is truly unfathomable and the reason I have had such success in my career.”
Stephanie Belatran, Actor
AMDA Faculty, MFA Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
“I’ve been to quite a few acting teachers and coaches in LA and I always find myself back in front of Jordana. Why? Because there isn’t anyone I’ve found with the same dedication and laser focus she brings to her craft, and to her students. Each time I come away with more tools, more confidence, and more enthusiasm to tackle any project. Whether it’s on the page, on stage, or in front of the camera, she’s THE BEST. There is no other way to say it.”
