BFA & MFA (Acting) Over the years I’ve coached actors for auditions as well as basic scene work. My experience as an adjunct professor of acting and directing at a local Southern California university had a tremendous impact on my students, some of whom went on to teach theater. I also founded and directed a theatrical touring troupe which went to Australia on 6 different tours. Recently I taught “Method” acting classes at a film school in Uganda, alongside directing a feature film while there.

"As a director, Jerry invests much time, effort, expertise and lots care into those he's directing. If an actor is struggling with a certain detail of the character portrayal, Jerry will take un-rushed time with the actor, if necessary, to assist them in finding a way to modify or tweak a technique to bring that portrayal to life. Jerry exhibits genuine care for those he works with. He knows and understands how to provide keen correction, which is always sandwiched by solid encouragement. Not only does Jerry get to know the actor but he comes to really understand what each one brings to the table in terms of their talent, ability, and where they may need some stretching toward improvement. And ultimately, Jerry knows how to bring out the best in the actors' performances. Jerry is also very professional and maintains a good standard of expectation of the actors. This is definitely a positive attribute because the actors know these expectations are not unreasonable, but are set in place to foster an environment of impartiality and oneness among the cast.

"When Josue Fernandez first started training, he understood the game and had good awareness, but technically he was still developing. He wasn’t fully confident on the ball and would hesitate in tight situations. Through consistent private sessions, his comfort level and ball control improved dramatically. His first touch became cleaner, his decision-making got quicker, and he started playing with real confidence. You could see the difference not just in his skills, but in how he carried himself on the field. Now, Josue is playing at a competitive club level and looks completely comfortable under pressure. The growth has been huge — technically, mentally, and tactically.
