Frequently Asked Questions
What class should I start with if I am a beginner?
Our Scene Study classes are designed for actors of all levels. In each class, you’ll find a mix of students — from actors currently working in film and television to those just beginning their training. What unites them is a shared dedication to the craft.
Every student at our studio is serious about doing the work, and each brings something valuable to the community. We believe actors grow best by learning from one another — regardless of experience level.
This collaborative, ensemble-based approach is inspired by the professional studios and conservatories in New York and Los Angeles where our teachers trained. All that’s required is your commitment to showing up, staying curious, and doing the work.
How much are classes?
Weekly Scene Study has 4 classes per month and is $190/month. You can find specific pricing for other classes and workshops on our Classes page.

Do you offer On-Camera Acting Classes?
Yes, absolutely. On-camera training is an essential step in an actor’s development — but only after certain core skills are in place. At our studio, we offer invitation-based Acting on Set intensives and open On-Camera Audition Workshops.
Why invitation-only for some of these? Because we believe in setting actors up for success, not anxiety.
The purpose of Scene Study is skill-building — learning how to listen, respond truthfully, make discoveries, and stay present in imaginary circumstances. That kind of growth takes courage, repetition, and a willingness to fall a few times — just like learning to ride a bike.
And as you might imagine, filming that early stage can actually get in the way. Cameras tend to make new actors self-conscious — the focus shifts to how we look instead of what we’re doing. When that happens too early, actors often start performing instead of exploring, which can slow authentic growth.
That’s why we hold off on-camera work until after an actor has developed a solid foundation. Once those tools are second nature, the camera becomes a thrilling extension of the craft — not an obstacle to it.
