The results speak for themselves. Our students are regularly expanding as artists, landing agents, booking commercials, plays, television shows and feature films. Here's what a few of them have to say about The Acting Center.

"Opens not 'another' door to acting – opens 'the' door to acting." J.G.

“The differences between this technique and others is that the gold is in the simplicity, that it’s not some psychological trip inward, that it’s a safe place to mess up in because there is no criticism. And finally that so much is known up-front about what to expect.” A.C.

"I’ve regained the fun and freedom of acting. I’ve gained an understanding of the proper sequence to create a character. This cleared up a tremendous amount of confusion for me. I feel like my ability is expanding. I love that there is no criticism and I’m discovering and growing at my own rate. I know that I can be any character that I decide to be and there is so much joy and freedom in this." I.R.

"The differences are everything. At its core, it is fundamentally based on an entirely different concept. What hit hardest for me was the idea that this was set up to be difficult in the past. It was meant to be confusing. That quote from Stanislavsky to the Russian actor was a revelation." T.P.

"I feel like the class improved my ability to audition because I don’t have this worry of not being prepared enough. I booked a lead role in a feature film and did my own stunts! I don’t criticize myself when I am performing anymore." J.S.

"I have a new certainty on the craft of acting. I walk into an audition room or film set differently. I booked three of the biggest jobs of my life soon after starting this class. This is truly an artistic revolution in the making." R.B.

"This class is the most ideal class I’ve ever been in! I’m learning and obtaining skills that I’ve never known or had before! I’ve never felt so safe in an acting class. I’ve gained so much confidence and assurance in my acting, more than I’ve ever had. I love all the teachers also!" A.W.

"Man! You all have created a nirvana for actors: No B.S. This technique is easier, richer, 
and more effective than anything else out there. G.M.

"Since starting at the Acting Center, I'm able to observe characters, both in life and in film, theatre and television, and create them again immediately. My range has expanded tremendously!!!"

 J.M.

"The mining of humanity that these exercises teach you is the deal. This is why I became an actor to express this humanity. I never really had the tools. Now I know I can do this! I am very excited!" B.C.

"It’s amazing – this method really gets me to think in the character’s world instead of just the written words on the page." E.J.

"I realized how simple acting is supposed to be. I feel like I honestly regained my ability as an actor—not a puppet of some sort. I’m having an excellent time." D.C.

"I became an actress because of the amazing feeling I get when I perform. It's so freeing and it's so powerful. You can communicate whatever you want. And somehow, between the time I decided to start professionally acting in L.A., and now, I stopped loving it. I didn't get that feeling anymore. I've been to so many classes and been told so many rules to follow, and learned so many techniques. Finally, today, for the first time in a really long time, I felt the way about acting that I felt when I first started. That first time I put a scene up. That amazing, awesome rush of being completely immersed in your art. I had lost that feeling in all the crap I was THINKING about. I was THINKING about how to act, instead of just ACTING." Y.P.

"I look at acting now much like I did when I first wanted to become an actor. It was to have fun and create and communicate a character and story—to really say something through the character I became. It got weird along the way and psychological and that didn’t make it fun— it made it anxious and something else. So now I’m back to how I know it should be for me as an actor and this is very special indeed. Thank you. I love this class and look forward to the journey ahead." V.P.

"I feel that I have incredible tools that I can use as an actor and have more certainty and confidence as an actor, performer, artist, etc. I feel as though I am on the right path, and am fulfilling my purpose after years of wandering aimlessly. I feel like myself much, more." K.D.

"I am having huge wins and gains from attending my classes at The Acting Center. It's amazing how simple yet extremely effective and true this technique is. It was amazing to me how fast I learned the dialogue and how it just became a part of the character's reality so that I wasn't reciting lines, but WAS that person speaking her mind!!! I just am continually amazed and so thrilled after each class at how I am growing and gaining abilities as an actress in such a short time. This school ROCKS!!!!!" E.J.

"I'm on set in Winnipeg. Shoot is going well! It's really remarkable to me how much my ability has expanded in a relatively short time. It's also very evident how class and the exercises have cultivated my ability, now that I am applying them professionally. Thank you all!" I.R.

"The exercises were tremendously important in that they extracted things I always wanted to do as an actor and now I have cut through the clutter and can just create!" N.G.
