Coaching with jack

"What I found unique about Jack was his ability to first challenge me and then teach me how to further open up my voice without me feeling that he was in any way trespassing on my internal work as an actor.  His notes were helpful, specific and often led me to surprising discoveries about my voice and the role."

"Jack is deeply engaged in the ongoing process of understanding and elucidating text. His ability to navigate the logic of a complex thought, make that clear to the actor, and then give the actor the tools to make the language her own, is uncanny."

"Jack and I have developed a great shorthand relationship, making our collaboration efficient, effective, and fun. [Jack] offers a great balance: he's strong on technique, but very curious to explore the interpretive process in the room. [He helped] me move my performance to an even higher level."

"Jack is the best kind of coach.  He understands that it’s not just about making sounds and substitutions.  It’s about character and action – and his work supports these values for the benefit of the entire production."

 "He always guided me in a way that was in keeping with the director’s intentions while gently probing a little deeper to find more action and motivation for my work.  He is smart, concise, and insightful."

"...[Jack]Greenman is on par with the best in the business.  Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Cicely Berry, longtime luminary and vocal coach of the Royal Shakespeare Company, as well as Robert Neff Williams of Julliard and Rob Clare, also of the RSC.  I can confidently attest that Mr. Greenman ranks among them all in terms of his textual understanding and ability to help actors and students unlock the secrets and abundance of dramatic texts."
