"When our daughter Rayna began taking acting classes more than a year ago, my wife and I knew that the coach we entrusted her development to would make all the world of difference.  No one has proven that more than Giovannie Espiritu.  Giovannie shows us at every class her teaching skill. But even more important, Giovannie shines not only because of what she knows but because of who she is—a genuinely spirited, unpretentious, playful, creative, fun-loving, and caring person.  Exactly the kind of person who young child actors need to study with."

"I have nothing but good things and good vibes from Giovannie's teaching and coaching.  My daughter, who is 8, has been taking Giovannie's acting class since June of this year (2009).  On our second week of class "Gio" recommended my daughter for a role in a TV Movie for The Filipino Channel and got the part.  But the great thing about her is her energy and passion for what she does - that is, act and teach.  She is down to earth, experienced and dedicated.  Not only that, she is patient with how the kids take or not take her direction and pushes them to their abilities.   We are so lucky to have found Giovannie after months of looking and interviewing other teachers."

Giovannie's coaching and guidance helped me get signed with Look Talent Agency in 2008 and she also helped me book a role on NBC's Trauma coming this Fall! She's both honest and professional while giving instruction and critique. Giovannie can give you the advice necessary to succeed in auditions as well as actual film/tv roles. I've learned that the audition process is a different animal than the the work you do once you get the role. Sometimes auditions will give you very little info - those running them will expect you to know what to do! If it weren't for Gio's instruction, I wouldn't have been mentally prepared for a lot of auditions.

And as much as I would like to hear "great job" everytime, there is great value in having an instructor/coach who challenges you to become better than "good" - good reads are good but "great reads" get the part!!!! There are a lot of good actors out there so you need to have an edge!

Giovannie is great with kids too as she is a mother herself!"
