The Acting Studio New York

The Acting Studio New York Training Actors, Directors and Playwrights for careers in Film, Television and Theatre.

The Acting Studio - New York is a private acting conservatory/studio of distinction specializing in the Sanford Meisner Technique located in the heart of the Times Square theater - Penn Station district of New York City. The studio was created by its director James Price who has been training actors for over 40 years. It offers acting programs and classes that are uniquely designed to suit the needs of actors, directors and writers who seek careers in film, theatre and television. The Acting Studio - New York is dedicated equally to the development of craft at the highest level through its intensive short-term and long-term classes, and conservatory programs and to the application of those skills in work presented in open-class forums, group projects and on productions presented for public performance produced in conjunction with Chelsea Repertory Company,(https://www.facebook.com/groups/155538297764/) an off-off Broadway company performing since 1984. The success of many of its alumni allows the studio to make claim to developing award-winning talent. As a private acting studio, The Acting Studio - New York provides a breadth and depth of experience and exposure to professional theatre that many traditional acting schools, acting classes and academic programs simply can't match. Class size is limited, applicants are screened, and students must maintain a professional standard for advancement.

SINGING FOR ACTORS
*NEW START DATE*
BEGINS OCT 13!

Singing is a skill actors are often required to use in performance—and this class is designed to take the fear and intimidation out of singing.

Singing for Actors provides a fun, supportive environment where each student is met at their individual level while learning to use the voice as a tool for storytelling, expression, and truthful performance.

Over the course of the class, students will work together on an ensemble song selected to match the group’s collective ability, often from the musical theatre repertoire.
