About Jacelyn

ACTRA/EQUITY IMDB: Jacelyn Holmes. Degree in Performing Arts Award winner for stage and many years of professional experience with the best actors on stage and screen across North America and beyond.

About the lesson

Let’s have fun but we also work hard and get results! Pick a monologue, and I become your director... Pick a script, (or I pick one) and as your scene partner we take delight as I direct us through the actions to achieve the most believable part you will ever play. Let’s get your name on a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame! From improv, classical theatre, film/TV script analysis, to sketch comedy and musical theatre...and one of my favorites is voice-over work. I can get you started with an actor's reel or self-tape auditions, or work with you at a high level prepping for auditions and parts you've landed. I have many clients who have landed agents, and some have even landed roles before I got them an agent.

Perfect! I am loving my lessons with Jacelyn! In addition to improving my acting skills, I am learning a lot about the industry itself and how to get started in it. This was honestly more than I was expecting when I was searching for a teacher, and I'm really happy with my choice!

Perfect! I loved working with Jacelyn! She has such a bright, warm, and playful energy which makes the sessions that much more enjoyable. She is VERY educated on the subject of acting and film and gave me such a thorough run down of how things work and answered any questions I had. She helped me better understand my strengths and what niche I may fall into. She offers a lot of support and suggestions for my performances and helps me access emotion better suited for the scene. If you are looking for acting help, I would absolutely recommend Jacelyn as she has a lot to bring to the table.

Perfect! Jacelyn is an amazing teacher! Within the first few lessons she's helped me discover my strengths and weaknesses, and together we've created a plan to make my career goals in voice over a reality. Jacelyn has taught me so much about the industry (such as tips on audition prep, work environment, etc.) and she shares a lot of stories based on her own experiences in film, voice over and theatre.

My lessons are always fun and informative, and I'm always excited to work on my 'homework' and prep for my next class. I am so happy I found Jacelyn! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me and being one of my biggest supporters!

For years, I thought I was not predisposed to sing since I did training in the past and was still pretty awful. However, while working with Jacelyn I was surprised to hear a voice that was resonant, on pitch and resembled a singers. It was a truly enlightening moment when I realized I could indeed sing.

What I loved most about Jacelyn was that she approaches sound in a unique and transformational way. She helps you open up, reconnect with your authentic voice and use it without restrictions. The energy she brings to each session, along with her personalized approach has led me to change how I use my voice in day to day life.

If you are at all looking to connect to your voice, find your true voice, and/or heal using your voice look no further. She’s absolutely fabulous and our lessons have been a life changing experience (and I don’t say that lightly).

Thank you Jacelyn for everything!!!

Jacelyn is fabulous with my son! She has great games and strategies to work through acting lessons that are age appropriate and engaging. It’s much more than acting, it’s about helping him come out of his shell and show emotion etc and she gets that! I highly recommend her for teaching kids :)

I know Jacelyn as a friend and in a professional context. I can say without a doubt that she is a qualified teacher, having earned her stripes in the performing arts and in the recording industry. In this way, her qualifications really do speak for themselves.

Jacelyn works very hard, and is passionate about affecting those around her in a positive way. She is trustful, caring, and loves people regardless of distinctions, such as age or gender. I have no doubt that this will make her not only a valuable teacher, but also a meaningful mentor.

Go Jacelyn!

Learn more about Jacelyn

When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?
When I was young, about 2 years old I started acting as a child star, professionally and then I moved into theatre in my highschool and university years, did that professionally and then music in my early 20's. Throughout this time I was teaching and coaching too. Finally I arrived in the ancient practice of healing arts! I just LOVE everything that allows me to express my soul, my love of life and help sooth myself when I am suffering and need to turn to the arts to help me through it. It connects us all.
What makes you passionate about your subject?
I am passionate about reminding my clients and retreat participants that transformation and healing doesn't always have to be so serious. Not only can you learn an art but also heal something in the process!
What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?
I love meeting new people, connecting over our similar interests and seeing them have HUGE breakthroughs. I think the breakthroughs are SO exciting and cool, because each person's talents and skill set are different and their journey is unique...I am so honored to be a part of it...so manye that's what makes me a "Superprof" : )
Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.
I had a voice teacher named Judith Landers and I will never stop sharing my life with her. Although she is not able to coach me any more she still is a professional artist. I think this is key, why just teach? Why not be doing it so you can also share this experience with your students. Show them the way too. Acting, Singing, Songwritient are all verbs of doing...you have to DO IT!
What are your keys to success?
Always lead with love. Deliver more than you promised and NEVER GIVE UP!

ACTION! Professional (ACTRA/EQUITY) award-winning actor for film/TV/voiceover and theatre who can help you shine and learn the ropes of all mediums of acting!
