Welcome!
My job is to help you avoid the pitfalls of Hollywood that hold you back from starting or advancing your acting career to the next level, booking bigger roles and better parts. I will help you find ways to promote and market yourself for casting directors and agents/managers.

"Jake is my go to acting coach for commercials, TV, Soaps, and Hosting. He breaks everything down for me quickly so I understand what I need to book the job. He always helps me find something unique about my performance that keeps me working!"
Summer Walters
"I have to say, when I began Jake's class, I knew something was missing... he showed me what it was. I was much more confident when I went into the room. After his class, I booked a Cell South commercial. Thank you for a very informative and fun class."
Jackie Falcon
"Being coached by Jake O' Flaherty has been a extremely rewarding experience for me! Jake has a way of helping to calm my nerves and at the same time give me confidence to open up to the possibilities I hold as an actress. His classes are fun, insightful, and continue to add needed value to my acting technique!"
Rodrigo Brand
"Jake is like a surgeon. He's gonna cut your "acting fat" out and leave you with an acting technique that is precise, clean and clear, which is gonna put you among the top five guys in the room for the job."
What's My Approach?
Coaching for me is finding the essence of the character thru the written dialogue, physical actions & tone of voice. Making simple, specific choices that make sense yet are unique, is the secret to creating memorable characters that still seem true to life. Asking yourself : who, what, where, when & why is the first step. From there finding interesting choices in the delivery is what books you the job!
