Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer different classes for beginners and more experienced actors?
Our Scene Study classes are for actors of all levels. Our actor experience levels vary from those whom you can currently see on TV & in Films to those who have no experience prior to attending our classes. Every student at our studio is serious about their craft and every student (whether in the business for years or new to it) has something to offer the rest of the community. We all learn from one another. All that is required is your commitment to learning and doing the work. This way of teaching is modeled after the numerous prestigious professional acting schools and studios our teachers studied in NYC & LA.
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! Our teachers have had the good fortune of studying with some of the most respected teaching artists in the world and not one of them had cameras in their Scene Study class. Interesting, right?
The purpose of Scene Study is to acquire new skills through practice and to grow as artists. Remember when you learned to ride a bike? You likely fell a few times or needed someone else's hand or training wheels to steady you. People don't usually film that part. Any learning process requires struggle and the willingness to struggle with something. We have noticed that most actors have a much harder time being willing to struggle with new skills when there are cameras rolling, which can greatly impede the growth process. Cameras in the learning process before an actor has acquired the necessary foundational skills that the job requires tend to cause actors to "perform" instead of try new things. To us, it makes about as much sense as filming someone's first attempts at riding a bike.
Of course, on-camera acting training is a necessary step in the growth process too, which is why we offer an invitation-based Acting on Set and On-Camera Audition Workshops..
