Focus on Each individual

Our Approach Focuses on You

We believe that every student is unique, and it is imperative not to offer a one size fits all approach. For that reason, all members have access to private coaching with the instructors during the week to work more on their technique, material from class, and to ask any questions. In addition, we meet with students individually to discuss their unique goals, and how we can best help them. 

 

All prospective students are required to do an interview before enrolling. We want to make sure this is the right place for you, and that you feel this is what you’re looking for. It is very important that we build a group of students who will all be supportive, encouraging, and truly want to learn this craft.

Testimonials from Our Students

"My 5 plus years at the young actors studio has been a great force in the trajectory of my life. It was a sanctuary from the stress of school where I could express myself and feel comfortable in ways I never really felt I could anywhere else. The young actors studio was a place where I was really allowed to feel, and it gave me the tools to channel it into my art.

The Young Actors Studio has inspired me to pursue my love of acting, to be a better actor, to work harder, and to widen my interests to plays etc. Having been to a few, I can truly say not a lot of acting schools are like this one - not a lot of them put the time and effort into each student as they do at the Young Actors Studio. What I got from this school is not just a class, I got endless support from some of the best teachers, great work to study, a better understanding of who I am, and incredible relationships and friendships with like-minded artists.

When I first started at the Young Actor' studio, both Andrew Shafer and Jeff Allen-Lee made it clear that this was a place where young artists could express their individuality without judgment. Within this space, I am allowed to take creative risks and be artistically challenged by my coaches and peers. This is possible because the studio fosters a supportive network that gives young artists the confidence to make creative breakthroughs and expand their artistic capabilities...Now being a University student, I can confidently say that it is incredibly difficult to find a place that has this same supportive, encouraging, prolific, and talented community.

When I was a younger person interested in acting, I was always too terrified of “the industry” to figure out how to get started with a serious pursuit. At the studio, I found a place where I could put my creativity first, alongside peers who were at all levels of experience in their pursuit of acting. I learned from the incredible talent that surrounded me in students and teachers alike. While the studio absolutely taught me how to establish myself as a professional actor, it is also a place of true creative freedom where I was able to study acting in a deep and personal way before presenting the work to an audience or at an audition.
Johanna Stone2017 winner of National Young Playwrights Festival, play "Stick and Poke" produced by Wildwell Films
Johanna Stone
My time at the Young Actors Studio has taught me countless strategies in the worlds of acting and writing alike. I have always been free to learn at my own pace, however fast or slow that may be at any given moment. There is a palpable sense of community and collaboration, as well as a spirit of creativity that permeates through any structured lessons and into the environment of the space itself.
