My daughter has been a student at this school for over two years and John and all of the staff are the absolute best and always there to support the kids when they need it. The online classes are really in depth and I've watched my daughter, and now my son, grow and develop so much while working with John, Japheth, Shane and everyone else there. I really couldn't say enough good things, but we...
We were introduced to John & Young Actor's Workshop through my son's manager and they are THE BEST. Everyone who works there is incredibly talented and accomplished - and they pour all that energy into the students. Since working with the team, my son has gotten more callbacks and bookings and is consistently complimented on his skills by casting directors. For kids that are serious about...
John and coaches are the absolute best. John has been there for us from the beginning of this incredible journey sharing his insight, expert navigation and all the classes, camps, and intensives a young actor needs to hone their craft and find their actor's soul.
JDAW is such an amazing school! Our son was 7 years old when he decided he wanted to be an actor. We made the move to LA and then a friend referred us to John and his school. It was the best move we ever made! To be with such an amazing group of people who truly believe in your child’s talent is wonderful! Avery absolutely loves JDAW. John has gone above and beyond to give Avery a chance at his...
Camp Hollywood was an absolute game changer for my daughter, Nora. It got way more in depth than any other class she has taken. The teachers assume the kids can handle the challenge and throw them straight into the A game. Nora will walk away with industry feedback, footage, new friends and an incredible amount of new knowledge. We highly recommend Camp Hollywood!
"John is amazing! His commitment to the whole actor and to the process, along with his positivity and guidance are heartfelt and make these actors GROW! My son always walks away from his classes and tells me something new that he has learned - and something he can't wait to try. I love when he is prepping for an audition - or walks out of a casting office and says something like "John says ..."...
"My daughter, Megan started classes with John and his amazing coaches almost a year ago. The boost in her confidence and all around skill set is incredible. She loves every class and every coach! The move to virtual classes has been easier than I could have ever imagined. The classes are equally engaging, fun and thought provoking. We will always be a part of John's YAW family - there is no place...
“John D’Aquino and his staff have been a true blessing. They go above and beyond to help kids grow in their craft and guide them in their development as careers and personally. They really care about students and their well being, and the amount of support we have found in this school is of immeasurable value. They are working actors and my kids have learned so much that we all agree they are...
“We received a beautiful relationship with a village of professionals that would prove to have a profound impact on our daughter (and whole family) in a short amount of time. This industry is tough, but when you have children that need this outlet to express their creativity, they need a team that can nurture, challenge and protect them. This is what you will find at YAW."
