Here’s what others had to say about John’s acting training courses—
‘For me, John Goudge's Drama Classes are a perfect way to fulfil my long standing love for drama & acting & an opportunity to enrich every day's life.
In his classes, John combines intelligence with deep understanding of the human nature. He's got vast knowledge & expertise combined with decades of experience. On top of all that, what makes him an outstanding teacher, is his uncompromising love & passion for drama. John's drama classes are fun filled, dynamic, innovative & appropriately challenging.
I am looking forward to the next session. Well worth the drive.’

‘I found John's classes to be of tremendous benefit to me.They opened up new windows of opportunity & offered a place to view the world differently.Even if you don't wish to pursue acting as a hobby, career etc... John's classes will still offer you an environment that will allow you to explore yourself & grow as an individual.’
Raymond- student.
‘I did John’s class when I was in my late 40’s. It was huge fun, but it also changed a great deal about the way I thought & the way I interacted with people. Also created life long friends & was a great confidence booster.
I have subsequently been very busy in producing plays at Titirangi Theatre based on the experience I gained.’

‘I cannot begin to tell you how much I looked forward each week to my Monday nights at Rimu Glade Studio last year.
I enrolled in Acting Training for Adults originally because I was becoming increasingly involved in a small amateur theatre company and wanted to improve my acting skills. The unexpected added bonus was that much of what I learned has carried into my everyday life. John's classes have given me more poise & confidence in my business dealings with clients in high-stress situations. My family tell me the classes also brought out my sense of humour & they loved that I came home from class each week on such a high. Sometimes the only thing that kept my feet firmly on the ground were the many more tools on my belt that these classes gave me!
John is a teacher who genuinely cares about his students' progress. His passion, knowledge & dedication to his craft is inspirational. I love his no-nonsense approach. He has a way of addressing students' individual needs by giving constructive criticism in encouraging & perceptive ways.
He has created a wonderful, non-threatening environment in which to bring out the very best in students from such a wide range of backgrounds & acting levels. As students, we quickly learnt to trust John & trust each other & each week we would step a little further out of our comfort zones so that by performance night at the end of each course we all felt that we had achieved something truly remarkable.
Thank you John.’
