TESTIMONIALS

A must for anyone seriously considering a career as an actor, whether TV/film or theatre is your calling. Not only are Jay's classes packed with invaluable techniques and practical help, but his insight into the industry sets these classes apart from any other available in the Munster region. Highly recommend Jay!

- Emer Hodges

Jay proved himself to be an excellent educator and filmmaker. He prepared us every week in advance by sending us sides and preparation tips. His training sessions were fun, insightful and, yes, hard work. After each training session, Jay would send us footage which he edited himself, along with a summary of that week’s theory and acting/filmmaking tips. I highly recommend Jay as an educator!

- Alex Toth

Thank you for a great week's work. Thanks to all your enthusiasm and support. I learned a lot about film technique and lost some of the fear. I could see a big difference between the first film session and the last ones. I showed them to friends and family and they thought they looked great and were all beautifully shot. I can see I used the camera angles as you explained. Thank you.

Jay brings his technical skill, enthusiasm for film, and creative energy to the course and paces it really well. A lot of ground was covered in just a few days and some interesting work was achieved in a short time.

- Kieran McBride

Jay has a warm easy-going manner, which belies his razor sharp eye and wizardry behind the camera! Finished a week's course with him and learnt quite a bit in the short space of time.

- Stephanie Behan

Taking a course from Jay was intense and challenging in a positive way! He is a great guy, great vibes, great fun! 

- Borut Petkovšek

I joined The Actors Point run by Jay Finocchiaro in 2016 and learned many things about the world of acting! I got to live life in front of a camera and learn all about the methods behind it!  From studio recorded voiceovers to knowing the best angles on screen, posing for Photoshoots, memorising scripts and shooting short films and video clips, it was a wonderful experience to say the least! Jay has a true passion for the art and knows his stuff!
