Frequently Asked Questions

JRP offers a unique opportunity for performers to rehearse their skills with industry professionals and showcase their talents in front of leading agents, managers and casting directors from the entertainment world. For over 95 years, we’ve helped performers earn and maintain a competitive edge over their rivals. Famous Hollywood stars still work with acting coaches because the best-rehearsed candidates are the most successful

All the difference in the world. The entertainment industry is fast-paced and constantly changing. Agents and directors need new faces and talent now. These busy professionals vastly prefer a well-prepared candidate to one who lacks polish, experience or training.

No. High fashion modeling has very strict physical requirements, 5’8″ and above for women, 5’11” and above for men, and many otherwise talented individuals cannot qualify. The fact is that over 80% of John Robert Powers’ performers are actors, but we also work with models and singers, anyone who is a part of or preparing to enter the entertainment industry.

No. We believe that a solid academic foundation should be a young person’s first priority. JRP’s policy is to work only with those who strive for academic excellence.

Performers commit to a set amount of rehearsal time, scheduled on weekends, to develop their skills and learn their scripts. Auditions and showcases with agents, casting directors or other industry professionals will also occur on a weekend following the rehearsal schedule.

No. We are looking for people with a high level of interest and dependability. When our clients meet top industry professionals, their conduct is a direct reflection of our coaching. Our relationships with the best agencies and casting directors are excellent because we are known for presenting only the most talented, enthusiastic and professional candidates.

We are not an agency. As in any career, training and marketing are an up-front investment of time and money. The most successful models and talent will tell you that the learning process never ends. In today’s fast-paced environment, very few agencies in the world will front costs necessary to begin your career. There ARE “discoveries”, but like lottery winners, they are rare. The vast majority of professionals have to work for their success.

At John Robert Powers, we give you the training, guidance and confidence to help you attain your goals in the entertainment industry.
