Singing For Actors

Cost: $270
Term: 6 weeks

Limited to 8 students. Singing for Actors is a fun introduction to singing. Singing is a task that actors will definitely be required to do in various acting roles, and this class is uniquely designed to take the fear out of singing for actors who do not consider themselves to be singers In this class, the instructor meets each student at his/her own level. In a matter of a only few weeks each student will be part of an ensemble song chosen for the group's collective level and one usually drawn from a repertoire of musical theatre.

Singing For Actors introduces students to the fundamentals of voice as applied to singing.
The course includes:

Techniques for developing a vocal/physio warmup routine
Speech articulation exercises
Powerful story-telling skills

"This class gave me a new appreciation for singing. And as an actor and musician, it is an invaluable skill. John Prestianni is an excellent vocal coach who makes you feel welcome and shakes away the nerves." - Cara Dekelbaum

"What make's a class stand out the most, is the passion an instructor brings to it. Along with a kind and gentle teaching approach, John has the ability to help even the most inexperienced singer, find their voice." - Shanice Saunders

"...the thing that I loved the most was that John made us students step out of our comfort zone without pressuring us. Our class was a mix of advanced singers and inexperienced beginners, the thought of singing in front of an audience was very scary to some people but John made clear that he understands that students put themselves in a vulnerable position by stepping in front of the class to perform songs and he somehow managed to make everyone feel safe and supported, the atmosphere was relaxed and it was a very good work environment." - Lara Malik

Testimonials

The amount of value I have received (from day one!!!) will serve me throughout my entire career. It’s really hard for creatives to find a community especially one that makes you better! The Acting Studio is one you can trust.

— Julia Sjakovs
Having trained in New York at both The Acting Studio and The William Esper Studio, it was abundantly clear within a matter of minutes that The Acting Studio delivered above and beyond on every level. James Price who is the Studio Director at The Acting Studio, is every beginners (and indeed accomplished) actors hero. He is without a doubt, the most emotionally intuitive, charged and lively of any Meisner teacher you’ll ever hope to be training under. I left his class hungry for more, stronger than ever and 100% certain that after his training, success can only follow. When that Oscar win comes in, I know exactly whom I’ll be thanking. James Price, you are my hero.

— Loretta Bogard
I have read every book on acting and taken classes at other studios which lead me to think I had a good understanding of the craft. Then I went through the program at The Acting Studio - New York and learned the truer meaning of craft. The intimate classes, the knowledge of the faculty, and professionalism has influenced my life in every way. Thank you for setting the bar and guiding the students to rise to the level. - Peter Evangelista, 2010 Studio graduate - working actor

— Peter Evangelista
The class i would have to say was a life experience. It built a foundation of acting skills that I can use in just about all walks of life. For up incoming actors, I highly recommend this class.

James Price the professor was an amazing instructor. His methods of teaching are like a mad scientist at work. No matter what he pushes you to get the best acting out of who ever he instructs.

I am so glad I took this class.

— David Valencia
Halfway into their 10-week Introduction to Meisner class I was hooked and seriously thinking about acting as a career. I finished their full acting program one year ago and am still involved with The Acting Studio community, still working, learning, and growing. James Price and John Grabowski are the best teachers and mentors a serious actor could get, and the rest of the faculty is excellent as well.

— Rosa Rodriguez-graduate 2010
James Price is without question one of the greatest acting coaches - fostering, nurturing, and challenging each and every student while uniquely ferreting out their strengths and weaknesses, and enhancing them in a way that allowed virtually everyone to come out of the class as better actors, technicians, and people as well.
