Still on the fence? Don’t take his word for it. Check out these glowing review from his students:

"The nuggets of wisdom Harry imparted in just a few short coaching sessions weren't just useful for my most recent audition (for which, OHYESINDEED I got a callback, nbd), but they helped create a foundation on which I can continue building for the rest of my career. The value I got out of these sessions FAR exceeded the price tag, and I absolutely plan on taking more coaching sessions with Harry in the future. You should too, and when you positively ~crush~ your next audition, you can thank me later."

"I had the wonderful opportunity to be able work with Harry 1:1 and review my audition book, and talk about new material ideas. Harry helped me dig deeper and draw upon my story and connection to each piece I have in my book. He pushed me out of my comfort zone which was just what I needed. He's extremely attentive, and great at honing in on your strengths as a performer. You can tell Harry genuinely cares about seeing you succeed and nailing your audition/ performance. Don't miss the opportunity to work with Harry!!”

"I've met with Harry for audition prep / acting coaching twice now, and we have a third session in the books. Working with him has been AMAZING. Harry asks the hard questions that push me to build the extreme specifics needed to truly bring a scene to life. He does an excellent job of calling out things that go well and making me feel safe & supported while also suggesting improvements and new directions to move in.”

“If you want a coach who listens to you, validates your choices and challenges you both as an artist and character, Harry Turpin is the best choice. Not to mention, Harry goes above and beyond any other coach I’ve met when it comes to reliability and follow up. Your success, is his success. You will be seen. You will be heard. You will be validated. Book him today!”
