John casablanca chicago

Dana Alfano. Mother of Gabrianna Alfano. My daughter Jasmine had been bugging my wife Jenny and I for over a year about a commercial on television. This commercial was asking the kids that were watching if they would like to be on their favorite television show or even be just like their favorite child actor and actress on television that they should have their parents call this phone number for an audition.

Well, after almost six months of Jasmine pleading with Jenny and me to make the call I finally broken down and took a chance. When it comes to your children you are always very protective so when I started to talk to the individual on the phone I was a little apprehensive, but within a very short time she was able to put some of my concerns at ease.

I always try to stay in touch with a lot of things that go on so when I found out that the acting and modeling classes were through John Casablancas I knew we were at least heading in a good direction.

We set up an appointment early the next week to sit down and meet with the education director Brigitte. Brigitte was very adamant that one of the stipulations of JC School was that all of their students must have an above average grade in the school and that if there was any signs that they were slipping in the education that JC classes would have to be reevaluated.

This was one thing that was very important for Jenny and I, that Jasmine still would continue to put schooling first and that JC also felt the same way.

Brigitte was very thorough and answered all of our questions that we had and was able to relieve even more uneasiness from Jenny and I. When we left that evening we had signed on for 20 weeks of acting and modeling classes through John Casablancas.

Over the next several months Jasmine would go once a week to classes on a Saturday under the guidance of her teacher Ms. Jasmine had a lot of fun in the classes not only in acting with the kids, but Jenny and I could see the change in Jasmine as she seemed to gain more confidence in herself.

Once again Jenny and I were leery about a competition involving the kids mostly because at that time Jasmine was only turning 7 years old at the end of December. After talking with Ms.

Christina and Carmela and even the rest of the parents, we decided to give Los Angeles a chance. Even though the trip was very expensive Jenny and I would not have changed our minds about going after we saw what transpired. Jasmine had a tremendous time competing in all of the events and what Jenny and I really liked was how extremely professional everything was run especially when are dealing with kids of this age.

Katrell and Ms. Butthead along with Carmela had an extreme amount of patience, not only with the kids, but also with the parents. I guess the teachers at JC knew what they were talking about when it came to Jasmine, especially Ms. Maggie, because at the end of the competitions, Jasmine came away with seven trophies, including Commercial Print of the Year and the winner for the Jeans Competition in her age group.

After the competition was over we realized then that John Casablancas had prepared these kids. When you go through this day and talk to all of these people and try to have your child impress everyone in the room with their talents you come away with a throbbing headache. You wonder how anything in this room could be accomplished! Because of all of these opportunities Jasmine now has a manager based out of Los Angeles looking for acting roles in movies, television and commercials.

In addition, Jasmine also has two agents based out of Chicago seeking out print work in the industry for her. Starting January , Jasmine will be representing American Girl on their website and possibly print catalogs for the next two years. Without John Casablancas, this opportunity would not have been possible for Jasmine. No matter what happens down the road, Jasmine will always have these wonderful memories of competing on stage and learning form a great group of teachers.

In December, we answered a television ad for an audition with John Casablancas, because my son Jacob said he wanted to be a comic actor. He began classes at JC-Chicago in January, It was a most fortunate thing for him to do, and set off a wonderful series of events.

Jacob loved his teachers at JC. The fact that JC provides frequent auditions gets kids comfortable with the audition process, and they receive that requisite training to make the auditions productive. Jacob and I spent 10 days in LA and met with 6 talent and management agencies. Everyone expressed an interest in signing him. One of the agencies recommended Jacob to a casting director for a new show on Disney, and Jacob auditioned for the role on our last day in LA.

We left LA with an agent. This was far beyond our wildest expectations. Since then Jacob has booked a part in a play at Provision Theater. I wanted to take some time to write you a letter to tell you how wonderful our experience has been with JC. My son, Elijah K.

Since then he has had multiple opportunities that have resulted in wonderful, lifetime memories and experiences. As well, he will be able to use the skills he is taught and learns plus his experiences wherever his life may take him.

Elijah has taken many classes with many teachers in his time so far at JC. Elijah has, of course, learned the techniques of acting and modeling. We have had some fantastic experiences so far in our JC adventure. That was so much fun and for certain something that we will both remember for a very long time.

Elijah has been able to audition for a multitude of casting agents via auditions as well as attend Actors Workshops set up by JC. The one thing I love about John Casablancas is coming to class every week and learning new things. I love the staff at John Casablancas they have helped me so much.

I was at John Casablancas a while back, and just today my dad told me about an audition there today but unfortunately I didn't attend. Instead I looked and explored the website remembering the good times and how much I missed going there every Saturday. When I did auditions and acting sessions at John Casablancas were the most amazing experience. I loved my teacher Ms. Maggie, she and the rest of the class were the best!

I was taught valuable things not just in my acting career, that I just wanted to learn not just for auditions but for the sake of knowing! Overall, it's a memorable experience that really makes you go: "Woah! I am so grateful that my mom called and signed me up.

I attended the John Casablanca Chicago school, scouting for new talent and had an excellent experience. The staff, headed by Carmela Lucarelli, was organized, friendly, and really cared about their students. The talent that I saw was very well-prepared and I e-mailed the school a list of my callbacks. Most of the callback students have already contacted me, which shows that the school is on top of things.

Overall, I had a great trip and look forward to seeing the school again in the future. I've made lots of friends here and its very fun. You learn alot and you get to audition every month.

That is the word to describe John Casablancas-Chicago. We are continually amazed with the professionalism of all of the John Casablancas actors. We have seen the John Casablancas actors at scouting weekends in Chicago, always totally prepared, always totally professional. We are impressed with their training. We have already discovered one young actor, Jonah Crosby.
