Class Experience
My expertise is in stage and film acting as well as stand-up comedy. I am a great at motivating students to become the best versions of themselves. I have over 20 years combined working with 2nd grade to college to adults in acting and comedy. With over 25 years on stage and screen, I have learned and created many tips, tricks, and techniques that could help students in many areas. During this 30-minute private lesson, we can focus on an upcoming audition or performance or develop the skill needed to become a better performer.
Learning Goals
Students will participate in a one on one lesson with the teacher focusing on whatever aspect of comedy or acting they want. If they are preparing for an audition, want to perfect a stand-up routine, practice a musical number, work on a monologue, learn a dialect, play improvisation games, write a script, write a screenplay, practice a scene, prepare for a commercial or film, or even a reality TV show audition, then this is your class. I have dedicated my life to helping students prepare and look forward to working with you.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Outschool world! My name is J.R. Coley, also known as Mr. Yo!, and I am a long time teacher and performer. I work professionally in the film and theatre industries, a career I started as a kid. In fact, it was around 3rd grade when I performed in my first commercial. I went on to graduate from Florida Atlantic University with a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance, and eventually went on to work there. For the last 12 years I have been the co-owner of Standing Ovation Performing Arts, where I have shared my passion of the arts with students of all ages. Some of the classes I offer are Acting for the Camera, Acting for the Stage, Monologue Performance, Playwriting & Screenwriting, Comedy Improvisation, Stand-Up Comedy and others! I'm a big believer that learning should be fun, and my classes are always laughing. I also believe the power of the performing arts help us succeed in any venture we choose. See you soon!
