COMMENTS FROM STUDENTS ON WHAT IT'S LIKE IN JOHN'S CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS:

(These comments are regarding John's weeknight on-camera acting classes.)

John went out of his way to design a program specifically tailored to each of the students' needs as an actor. This is the first acting class I've taken where the students acted more than the instructor lectured.
-Greg Mesler

First of all, John's class was the most constructive acting training I've ever had. I used to think that to be a good teacher that you had to be a drill sergeant type, but that's not true. Allowing people to get comfortable is better; it's also more conducive to the creative process.-Justin Alexander

John Wesley Downey really cares about the growth of his students.This is the first course that I have attended where the teacher asked "What would you like to work on?" John wrote scenes for each actor depending on their areas of weakness. He was concise and tactful in his critiques and constructive criticisms. I continued to feel myself grow throughout the weeks.-Nikki Donley

Here's feedback from some students in John's voice-over workshops:

The class was fun, interactive and I walked away gaining valuable experience. John is a great teacher with tons of knowledge and he made the class enjoyable - Cara Marsh�

"I enjoyed the class, number 1 because it was a small class. It is difficult to go into something new and have a lot of people and not have an instructor who can give you personal attention, ESPECIALLY because it is so new to you. John was able to show attention and actually give feedback to you because the class was intimate. My final vote: Two Thumbs Up!" - Jennifer Lawson
