Jill is a very nurturing and supportive acting teacher and coach. What really sets her apart is the tremendous depth of her knowledge of the craft and the business of acting, and her generosity and willingness to share what she knows with her students. Jill has an obvious passion for teaching and goes above and beyond to ensure that her students are well prepared and confident in any audition situation. You simply will not find anyone better!

I cannot say enough great things about Jill Stern’s coaching. She knows how to bring the best out of people and knows how to explain what you need to do in a way that is easily understandable. Sometimes when you audition, you never know what it looks like to the casting people, but Jill breaks down everything. She helped me book the biggest job of my career and my manager says my auditions have improved since I’ve worked with her.
5 Stars!

Jill Stern has been instrumental in my progress as an actor.  I have studied with her in class and in private sessions for two years.  She finds the exact words to help me understand how to find truth in acting. Ever since studying with her I have been booking consistently.  This year, thanks to her guidance, I have booked two commercials (one Super Bowl), a co-star role on a network series, and several industrial spots. It is always a pleasure to go to her classes because they are always positive and supportive, in addition to guiding me to a higher level in my craft.   -Aki Ando "New Amsterdam"  "Orange is the New Black"

Jill is an extremely effective acting coach. I have been referring my actors to her for years, and I know any actor I send to her will leave with a better understanding of their craft and better prepared for their upcoming audition. Not only is the feedback about Jill consistently enthusiastic, but her coaching yields results. In my experience actors who have coached with Jill have a better chance of getting a callback or booking a job- and her audition videos have also been successful. 

She has drawn on her industry connections to reach out on behalf on her actors, which has led to bookings.

Jill has a way of getting the most out of my daughter Kimmy and pushing her to be her best, without overwhelming her. Jill’s great at communicating with Kimmy in a way she can process- putting the information into “digestible bites”. My daughter always leaves a session with Jill feeling more focused and confident about her work.
