Camp Hollywood was a completely unique experience. My daughter learned so much in an inspiring and supportive environment. She got hands on practice; working with cast and creatives in front of real cameras and experienced crew. As a parent I also gained so much knowledge and perspectives from industry professionals and other parents. John goes above and beyond in every way. His dedication,...
Camp Hollywood was amazing! This was Raquel’s first time and she loved every minute of it. She was sad when it was over. John put together such an amazing experience for the kids and we felt like he went above and beyond our expectations. His kindness and generosity towards the kids is second to none. He genuinely cares about each kids and their future. The entire staff was awesome. Raquel had...
Keating absolutely loves working with John. His coaching has helped him grow as an actor, and enables him to better understand what is needed to be successful. After attending Camp Demo Reel in February, he has received over 5 callbacks in just 2 short months! To say John is a wonderful coach is an understatement. He is an inspiring mentor for Keating and all of his students, demonstrating...
Izaak has grown leaps and bounds through his study with John. He has also started getting more callbacks and bookings due to his deepened understanding of his craft. John has a special way of connecting deep meaning with kids at their own level. Izaak has been able to impress with his knowledge at every set and has become a true professional actor.

John D’Aquino and his team are exceptionally incredible people! Giuliana Rae has taken numerous acting classes, the Pilot Prep Workshop, private coaching for auditions, as well as the ultimate Camp Hollywood! She has learned so much and has made so many wonderful connections! It has truly been an amazing experience!
John, Shane, Michelle, Carmen, and Emily are an amazing team of skillful, experienced actors who are also talented at teaching. My daughter (10.5 yrs old as of this review) has been working with them for almost 7 months and has developed such skills - auditioning, being on camera, improv, and voiceover. She enjoys her classes so much that she regularly prioritizes them over other fun in-person...
We have been with John’s school for 6 months now and could not be happier that we were pointed his direction. The quality of instruction is excellent across the board – from on-screen to improv to voice over to singing. John takes great care in recruiting the best teachers and staff to support his students. And in turn, his showcases bring together the top industry professionals who are...
It is hard to come up with the right words to express how important and impactful JOHN D'AQUINO’S YAW has been for us. First and most importantly, they have been our support.

Second, the level of professionalism....
