“With
every role I have taken over the last six years, including 3 episodes
of JAG, UPN’s Second Time Around and The Exonerated, an Off Broadway
play, I check my ego at the door and call Rob McCaskill to help me hone
my skills. In the time it takes most people to read a script, Rob has
it broken down and is ready to begin the creative process of
transforming a talk-show host into a credible character actor. Rob
McCaskill, don’t leave home without him.”
-Montel Williams
“I have worked with Rob on five
different
projects; one of which earned me an Emmy nomination. Rob is one of the
best coaches in the business.”
-Bernadette
Peters
“I
can’t say enough good things about Rob McCaskill! He’s an extraordinary
teacher because he brings so much to the table from his experience as
an actor, writer, and director. Whether I am in his class or coaching
with him privately, I always walk away feeling like I have taken a
great leap forward. Not only as an artist, but as a human being.“
–Jennifer
Gambatese, lead in: All Shook Up, Tarzan, Mark Twain's Is He Dead,
Little House on the Prairie.

helped me get my contract role on The Guiding Light. I highly recommend
him. He finds something edgy in all kinds of material. Sitcom, film,
Law & Order, and yes, even Soap!”
–Michelle Ray -
Principal, The Guiding Light
“Rob’s
a great listener and coach. He’s always able to help you kick it up a
notch when it comes to character development. He fills you with
optimism, hope and confidence. His guidance and expertise is something
I find necessary and crucial for any serious actor.”
–J. Robert
Spencer, Jersey Boys, Next to Normal (Tony nominee)

helped me to become a better actor than I ever thought I could be. He
got me to the level I needed to be to book my first and second Broadway
shows."

“As
the National voice of Qwest and DHL’s IVR systems along with a slew of
radio and tv commercial clients including McDonald’s, Ford, Tresemme
and more I am constantly challenged to stay on top of my game.
Voice-over is a different art form yet Rob’s arsenal seems to
continually build my skill level. No matter what type of acting you are
embarking upon Rob’s tools are a vital asset to developing and refining
your craft."
–Dustin James,
National Voice Actor
“I've
been directed, coached, and counseled over the years by Rob McCaskill.
I not only value him as a colleague, but as a friend. His tuition has
been of genuine value to me and I'm delighted to be able to recommend
him without reservation."
–Neal Jones,
Generation Kill, Rescue Me, The Devil's Advocate, Dirty Dancing
“Rob
is the most inspiring coach to work with, his insight into the human
condition is truly mind blowing. He has a respect and admiration for
the actor that lends to his one of a kind approach."
–Carly Jibson,
Hairspray
“I
was stuck in the chorus until I began working with Rob, and now I have
top billing in a Broadway show. He gives you invaluable tools you need
as an actor, and the confidence that books the jobs you really want."
–Curtis
Holbrook, West Side Story, All Shook Up, Xanadu
“No
other teacher I've had has challenged me like Rob has, while instilling
in me such confidence. I have rarely felt as excited about acting as I
have in Rob's class. He intuitively knows how to access the emotional
triggers that will bring your work to a whole new plane. If you have
drive to succeed in this business, you must take his class."
–Mark Alhadeff,
Incident at Vichy, The Power of Darkness
“Working
with Rob one-on-one has been so helpful, but I truly get the most out
of working with Rob in the classroom setting. He has a knack for
working with all different kinds of performers from the experienced
Shakespeare veteran to a Broadway pianist attempting improv for the
first time. Working with Rob is amazing...but WATCHING Rob work with
others has been MOST valuable for me in my growth as an artist and in
my career.."
–Donna Vivino,
Wicked, National Tour
