TESTIMONIALS
Teachers like Jill are hard to come by. She is truly one of a kind. Her compassion and eye for the craft of acting make her the phenomenal teacher and actor that she is. Jill has a wealth of knowledge and offers an undivided focus to all actors she trains and mentors. When I began training with her over 10 years ago, I knew she had something special. I wouldn’t be the actor I am today without her guidance and expertise.”
