James Jontz

James Jontz has been in “the business” for over 25 years. He learned the business of acting on the streets of New York, scrambling for agents and auditions between waiter gigs. It paid off, when after a year he was living entirely on the proceeds from his acting career. After five years as a working actor in commercials, industrials, theatre and soaps, he jumped over to the other side of the lights and became a full time director. With his wife, Joanne, an actress/teacher, Jim has joined in teaching young acting students the art of commercials for the past decade. 

Joanne Ritchie has worked as a professional television actress for over two decades and has appeared in hundreds of TV commercials, including spots for Tide, Oldsmobile, Lysol, and Joy detergent. She has also appeared in infomercials and hosted her own talk show. In 1990 she started Take Two, a school specializing in the teaching of commercial acting techniques for both adults and children, and was soon featured in an article in The New York Times.
