JOHN ROBERT POWERS ACTING AND MODELING STUDENT EXCELS IN CLASSES FOR TELEVISION COMMERCIALS, ACTING MONOLOGUES, FASHION PRINT AND RUNWAY MODELING

Toronto Based John Robert Powers Parent Reflects on Child’s Positive Experience with John Robert Powers Acting and Modeling School

(Los Angeles, November 12, 2008) – When Robin Wilson signed her son, Login Wilson, up for acting and modeling classes at the local John Robert Powers school in Toronto, Canada she had no idea how influential the classes would be for her young son.  Like so many parents with young children Robin and her husband were looking for after school activities that would encourage development and self confidence for their son Login.  Robin had heard positive things about the Toronto based John Robert Powers from other parents who had enrolled their children in the acting and modeling classes but thought Login should try soccer first but Login wasn’t enjoying the classes and spent most of his time lying on the ground or asking if he could be goalie so that he wouldn’t have to run.  “The funny thing is both my husband and I are really good athletes but Login just didn’t have any interest whatsoever.  It was hard for us to find anything that Login was interested in doing,” said Robin Wilson.

This all changed drastically when Robin enrolled Login into John Robert Powers Toronto.  They initially had him attending acting and modeling classes once a week but Login responded so well to the John Robert Powers classes that Robin and her husband started sending Login three to four times a week especially when time came for a major talent competition hosted in Vancouver in early September.  John Robert Powers enrolled Login in classes that taught him how to act in television commercials, scene acting and monologues and how to properly model for fashion print, commercials and runway.  Login’s mother proudly exclaimed, “In just three months Login has memorized more than 10 commercials and three monologues – he’s just a sponge!”  Robin went on to say, “We weren’t sure if this would be it or not, but we thought, he likes to perform, he likes to act, so let’s give our hand at this. No expectation, let’s make this fun and see where he goes with it,” she said.  “And now, it’s just overwhelming.  He’s meeting with people - he’s ready to work. He’s just developed so much and is so focused and it’s all thanks to John Robert Powers.”

President of John Robert Powers, Ron Patterson, says he often sees this type of change in students who attend John Robert Powers school classes. “I am very pleased to hear about Login Wilson’s development at John Robert Powers in Toronto.  Our Toronto school is one of the strongest schools we have and it doesn’t surprise me in the least that Login is responding so well to his acting and modeling classes,” said Ron Patterson.  “I’m glad his parents are able to witness his continued progress and development.  When it comes to teaching fashion print and runway modeling, monologues and commercial acting no school is more prepared than John Robert Powers and its eighty year legacy.”

Robin went on to explain that Login loves the attention and loves to entertain.  The most rewarding aspect of the experience for Robin and her husband has been seeing Login’s efforts get acknowledged, and his mindset after doing a great job.  “The capability is rewarding.  You see him work so hard and memorize it, and do the best he can do-it just blows you away,” Robin said.

Ron Patterson echoes this sentiment, “Time and time again I see children come to John Robert Powers wanting to become stars and you know some of them end up on national television and in films but all the students leave John Robert Powers with refreshed confidence, more dignity and self assuredness that reflect in all areas of their lives.  Children and teenagers who take classes at John Robert Powers are better public speakers, know how to conduct themselves in job and college interviews and know how to dress well and act becomingly.  Personal development is key at John Robert Powers,” concluded Ron Patterson.

If Login continues to pursue modeling and acting, the next step for his parents will be to learn the rights of children when it comes to working and how it will affect his schoolwork and his income.  Robin noted that they would have to explore the alternatives for his studies; if a child is on set for a certain amount of hours, then the child must have a tutor. The John Robert Powers school stresses that education is key, and the kid’s grades need be up to par.  The next step for Login is to search out an agent.  John Robert Powers Toronto is frequently visited by top local agents and casting directors from Hollywood and New York.
