WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACTING CLASSES IN NYC
BEGINNER ACTING TRAINING FOR FILM, TELEVISION, AND THEATER
ActorClass offers a focused Wednesday night acting class for beginner actors who want serious training in a supportive, practical environment. Build confidence through personalized scene work, partner practice, direct feedback, and real performance time in every class.
Our approach is evolving, flexible, and meets each student exactly where they are, no matter the background or experience, in order to mold creative, confident, vibrant and versatile actors. If you are new to acting, a few rotations at our studio should quickly get you up to speed and we strongly recommend a 6, 9 or 12 week rotation. If you are a seasoned professional working left and right, a 3 or 6 week rotation will keep your work fresh between gigs. Honesty and discipline is the barometer by which an actor is judged. Our studio is a gymnasium for actors, not an academic institution. We give students the opportunity to enroll in a schedule that best suits them:
A WEDNESDAY NIGHT CLASS BUILT FOR BEGINNER ACTORS
Train at night in a focused NYC acting class built around scene work, feedback, and real performance time.
Students are paired with scene partners, assigned personalized material, and guided through practical work that helps them build confidence, clarity, and stronger acting choices from the ground up.
How the Class Works
A focused rotation built around beginner-friendly scene work, partnership, and performance.
Students begin new scenes with new partners throughout the class cycle. You rehearse, perform, receive direct feedback, and continue building the fundamentals in a supportive, active environment.
01. New Scene
Fresh material is selected to help you build confidence and understand the basics of scene work.
02. Scene Partner
Work opposite another actor and learn how to listen, connect, and respond truthfully.

Get up, practice, receive direction, and grow through hands-on coaching.
