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.
