Johary Ramos
Hey! I'm a New York based actor; born and raised in San Sebastian, Puerto Rico; a beautiful "small" town in the rural North Western part of the island. Back in the days it was a town with an economy based on sugar cane, cattle and some factories too; as we say, I'm a true and proud "jíbaro". Hopeful that the economy gets better soon in my beautiful country because the talent and resources are amazing.
Since I was a little boy I always liked to study and learn new things which I still love up to these days. I'm always reading some new self improvement article, book or taking a new class so I can further my skills and knowledge. A nerd!? Well, in school I was attracted to all subjects especially math, languages and loved class participation. I'm a competitive guy and despite my nerdyness I've always loved expressing myself physically through movement, singing out loud and through language in general.
My first taste of theater and arts was in elementary school; I participate in many plays, I remember once I was cast as Jesus in the scene where He speaks to the wise men in the temple, and got so into my scene partner playing Virgin Mary that I just cracked up onstage for like a nice 10-15 seconds (which actually felt like an hour) and it was such a real moment and we had a great audience response which after the embarrassment I loved the attention and the response we received and made me think hmm... I love this feeling. Therefore all through school levels I participated in many occasions in plays acting, singing, and in dancing celebrations, I had an ease for movement since very little and with no real dance training I even choreographed some times in school. I'm also very attracted to the theme of justice and fairness in general which is hard to manage sometimes because I would like to please everybody.
I studied acting at the Drama Department of The University of Puerto Rico, Conservatory of The Actors Center-J. Michael Miller, Meisner Tech at Wendy Ward Studio and
at The Esper Studio with Mr. William Esper.
Commercial Technique with David Cady (Donna De Seta Casting); Lucid Body and classical text with Fay Simpson and Joe Siravo, Shakespeare with Ian Hersey; and "On Camera" Technique with Mr. John Swain, Ted Slubersky and Scott Freeman, Charles Carrol and Tony Plana, Tim Phillips. Voice with Sabrina Lastman and Dan Manjovi.
My dance training: Ballets de San Juan company member and as a scholar in Ballet Concierto, Bailos jazz company. Intense workshop with NYU-Tisch School of the Arts and Alvin Ailey American Dance School.
Through my career as a dancer I performed in many shows/tours with recording stars mainly in the Latin market but also musicals in my native Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico and also in the US.
I have a Certificate Degree in Legal & Medical Translation and Interpretation Spanish<>English at Hunter College (City University of New York); CUNY's The Helena Rubinstein Scholarship and was also granted The Career Transition for Dancers Grant.
I have also worked as a Spanish translator for "8", the play by Dustin Lance Black, based on the legal and civil rights repercussions of Gay Marriage in the state of California.
I'm fully Bilingual with some Proficiency in French and an overall ease for languages and dialects.
