A seasoned actor:

Joan has been wonderful in guiding me back into the creative circle.  Her guidance and direction, which equals her coaching has allowed me to enter into a space that was unattainable on my own.  It takes A LOT of time, concentration, effort and skill to teach well.  Joan offers all three and throws technique on top for good measure.

Stephen Ogg

A coaching student:

Joan has been a very important teacher in my life.  Her ability to sense where I am as a human being and simultaneously as an artist has allowed for me to grow in both areas of my life.  She has a great understanding of humanity, and the art/business of acting.  This combination makes her a fantastic teacher.

Elizabeth Stanley, “Million Dollar Quartet”

A new student:

Joan creates a class syllabus that simultaneously reflects the general needs of every actor and the specific needs of the actors in her class; and joan juggles these two tasks with ease.  From table work, to the early stages of working with a text, to monologues, to working in different genres of the business, to advanced scene study... Joan covers it all.  Its really ten classes for the price of one.

A former student:

Joan Rosenfels has literally changed my life...  both as an actor and as a human being.  I have studied with many of the "name" acting teachers in New York and Los Angeles, and none of them has what Joan has...  it's the total package.
