Joan is a New York City based acting teacher who cultivates artistic conversations with actors allowing them to bring their most authentic selves to their work.
“Joan Rosenfels is truly one of the most (if not the foremost) didactically gifted teachers in the New York performance community. Her classes and coaching offer a precision and a standard of professionalism that is truly unparalleled. Having seen the outcome of her clients' work firsthand, I can say without a doubt that Joan's method of exploring scene work is one that provides actors with a wealth of tools and techniques that prepares them for any audition setting. I couldn't speak more highly of her process and results.”
- Bernie Telsey, Casting Director
Joan Rosenfels is amazing with actors. Her low key but impactful presence, her ease and skill with actors (experienced or not) can make your work so much fuller. Joan is a godsend to a director.
- Michael Patrick King, AJ & the Queen, Sex and the City
“Joan is the ultimate actor whisperer as far as I’m concerned. She’s profoundly insightful, wise, and playful. She helps me access my potential (and then some) and connects me with the reasons I love being an actor”
- Murray Bartlett, Emmy Award Winning Actor
