What acting technique do you teach?
At Acting Gym, we are dedicated to a moment-to-moment approach to storytelling, strongly emphasizing truthfulness, teamwork, and a deep understanding of each scene. Our primary goal is to assist actors in making informed choices that seamlessly meet the demands of the story and characters they portray, ultimately leading to exceptional performances on stage or screen.
What if I've never acted before?
Our craft is built upon fundamental principles that anyone can grasp, regardless of previous acting experience. By honing your ability to stay present in each moment, you will naturally contribute to the overall narrative and bring the story to life. These essential tools are what we impart through our teachings at Acting Gym, making our classes accessible to all.
I have previous training and experience.
We welcome actors of all levels in our classes, and our approach to acting is straightforward. Each student is encouraged to push themselves to their fullest potential: learning, leading, and collectively improving with one another.
Do you allow auditing?
We offer the opportunity to try a class. If you enjoy it, that class will count as your first session. If it's not what you're looking for, no worries.
Is there any on-camera work involved in the class?
Our curriculum strongly emphasizes creating audition tapes and developing a thorough understanding of working with cameras. We teach techniques such as presenting for the camera, performing actions, and maintaining proper eye lines.
Do you offer online acting classes?
