"Hi! I’m Jonathan. I'm a professional, full-time vocal and acting coach in the Chicagoland area. I coach clients all over the country. Many of my clients are professionally working actors/vocalists. I have helped clients break into the industry, land their first professional gig, or make it into their chosen university program. My clients have achieved major successes under my mentorship including:

George won Best Actor at the Illinois High School Music Theatre Awards and went on to represent Illinois at the 2024 Jimmy Awards on Broadway

Bella and I performed at a Blackhawks game at the United Center

Bailey booked a big commercial for a major healthcare company

Athena booked a major commercial in L.A.

Two students made it to All-State. One was selected as a soloist for All-State Vocal Jazz ensemble

Rogan booked a leading role in two films back-to-back

These are just a few of their many accomplishments. Study with me and join the success stories!

Here is some more info about me:

I graduated summa cum laude from North Central College with a Bachelor’s in Vocal Music Ed.

I served as the Youth Acting and Vocal Coach for Broadway in Chicago’s production of Children of Eden at the Cadillac Palace which featured big names including Michelle Williams from Destiny’s Child, Koryn Hawthorne finalist on The Voice, gospel singer David Phelps, YouTube singing sensation Sam Tsui, and Broadway star Randal Keith.

I have served as music director, vocal coach, acting coach, director, and producer for many plays and musicals with various theatre groups around the Chicagoland area.

I teach multiple acting classes and workshops from on-camera technique to improv to monologue work. My love for music and theatre, extensive experience onstage and in the audition room, and passion for teaching makes me an excellent coach. I am more than just another music teacher; I am a coach that brings the very best out of my clients, setting them up to excel at whatever level they wish to perform." less...
