I’m an actor and an acting coach.

“What I look for in an audition coach (and a scene partner) is someone who I can trust. Someone who makes the work fun. Someone who makes me feel like my most creative and free self. Josh is all of those things and more. A truly virtuosic actor himself, Josh helps you find all the colors of your own performance. Whatever the genre, no one knows how to decode a scene better. I have never left a session with Josh without feeling like I was my best actor self that day. Encouraging, generous, and a lot of fun, I feel lucky to work with Josh whenever I can. If I could bottle him up and take him with me, I would!.”

“Josh is one in a million. His script analysis is spot on and he’s an absolute joy to work with. His real super power, though, is his creativity. He always finds a unique way to approach the story that’s grounded in the writing. He’s my go-to guy..”

““Anybody who knows Josh is fully aware that he can’t take a compliment to save his life, so I’m happy to have this opportunity. Josh Mendelow is my rock. As actors, we are forced to constantly put ourselves out there and trust our instincts, and finding people who feed and support that is essential. I was so lucky to discover Bob Krakower 15 years ago and on his recommendation, for the last five years I have put my faith in Josh and partnered with him on every piece of my work, from auditions to script analysis to on-set work. Any success I might have had in this business is a direct result of this partnership. There is NO ONE I trust more with supporting my creativity, while also holding me accountable to telling the story written on the page, than Josh. And as great as he is as a coach, he’s even better as a friend. Full stop.”

“He is a truly special coach and absolutely one of a kind.
I started working with him in January of 2022, and since then my auditions have not been the same. Josh's preparedness, approach to the text, ability to articulate the story, and reliability are unparalleled. He prides himself in coaching every actor differently and hones in on their individuality and uniqueness to make their work pop.
I can't express in words how much he has changed my perspective to auditioning, but more importantly how much he's changed my perspective of myself. It's impossible not to have fun when you're working with him, and the confidence inherently oozes out of you because of it. .
