"I have read many of Janet Milstein's monologues. They are awesome, and you are sure to find one that suits you in her book. Her writing is real, with real situations, not fake and phony like other monologue books. Her monologues have won many awards at competitions in New York and LA."
~ Emily Deak, Actress, New York, NY
"The experience of working with Ms. Janet Milstein was amazing. She gave each of the iPOP students the attention they needed in writing and performing a monologue that well-suited their own personal styles. It was a great feeling at the end of iPOP to find out that our JRP School received the 1st place award for the “School of the Year”. Everyone from the Atlanta school had received either an award or a callback. All judges agreed that the Atlanta school’s monologues were the best in the competition. I feel that the monologues tipped the scale and got our school the first place. The same day of my monologue competition, I received a callback from Ms. Bernadette Carter from the Carter Entertainment Management Company. I have signed a three a year contract with Ms. Carter and just moved to Los Angeles."
~ Amanda Olewicz, Actress, Atlanta/Los Angeles
"During my weeks of practice and preparing for iPOP Janet had me fill out a questionnaire giving some info about myself, my likes and dislikes. From that Janet wrote an amazing monologue about cheese...a food that I thoroughly detest!!! It was really funny and perfect for me ...so off to New York iPOP I went. At the end of the week, our group attended a gala where I received third runner-up for Best Monologue! It was so exciting for me to win this award and I was so amazed to have been chosen to receive it out of the hundreds of people who were there. I can't thank Janet enough for giving me the "cheesy" monologue!!!"
~Keely Bilthouse, Actor, Atlanta
"Cool Characters For Kids is an awesome Monologue Book!! Great Book! My daughter started taking acting classes since Jan 2006. Where we lived, Maui, Hawaii, we didn't find any good monologues for kids but were advised to order online. The day we got the book my daughter started going through the monologue, she loves it. Her workshop teacher asked her to bring her book to class so everyone can use it. Because she likes this book so much, she is now looking forward for her class."
~ A Happy Mother, Maui, Hawaii
"Janet, I would just like to tell you thank you SO much for EVERYTHING!!! You have helped me so much and I have improved a lot! By learning from you, I got all my callbacks from my monologue competition, and also I signed with Wilhelmina Dan because of my monologue. You have taught me a lot of important stuff that I will never forget!"
~ Anna Hou, Actor, Atlanta
"Working with Janet was an awesome experience. It played such a huge role in the presentation of my monologue, and added for a great iPOP! experience. Not only did we have an original monologue written for us, but we also received one-on-one training on how to perfect our monologue. She trained us on how to deliver our monologue, how to present ourselves, and how to become our character. After working with Janet I was prepared and confident in how I was going to perform in front of any audience."
~ Andy Olewicz, Actor, Los Angeles
