Hey I’m Nick, I’m a working actor based in New York. I just graduated NYU Tisch and am in the extension division at Juilliard. A little bit about myself: I’ve been in a bunch of plays Off-Broadway, Off-Off Broadway, Australia, New Zealand. I’m also in a few films. One is on Amazon Prime. A show I’m the lead in is about to be picked up by Tubi, I believe. Anyway, I moved here from Canberra Australia when I was 17, and have built a career here all by myself. I had no connections or anything. And I have a great manager and am auditioning for loads of big projects. I also love teaching though. I’ve been assistant teaching at the Lee Strasberg Ins

I specialize in Meisner based acting training, with a personal touch. I completed the 3 year conservatory program with acclaimed acting teacher Terry Knickerbocker, known for working closely with powerhouse clients Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell (Academy Award Winner), and Austin Butler (Academt Award Nominee). My training and experience has made it possible for me to share the tools I learned, which provide for a firm foundation for a fulfilling journey as an actor. For example, we will explore actions, objectives, emotional preparation, and more, to help build a character. I believe one-on-one coaching adds an important quality to the process...

Your Acting Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do acting classes cost?

Acting classes cost $25 to $65 per hour on average for group classes or $50 to $150+ per hour to hire a private acting coach. Prices vary depending on where you live and the instructor's experience and reputation. Acting studios that offer ongoing weekly classes typically charge $150 to $350 per month.

Acting courses and workshops can cost as little as $200 to as much as $2,800+, depending on the content, number of sessions, and the instructor's demand. Some acting workshops are short, 1- or 2-day intensive classes focusing on one aspect of the industry, while other programs last 4 to 8 weeks and cover several topics, methods, and techniques.

Most studios offer a free trial class so you can get a feel for the teaching style and decide if it's right for you.

Are online acting classes worth it?

Online acting classes are worth it if you want to pursue acting and are unable to attend acting classes in person. With online video calling platforms like Zoom and Skype, you can now study acting with the best in the industry from the comfort of your own home! Many reputable acting coaches—including those right here on Lessons—now offer online acting classes and teach the same methods and techniques that they teach in the studio. 

Do you need acting classes to become an actor?

You technically don't need acting classes to become an actor. However, acting classes can help you gain confidence, learn new methods and techniques, analyze scenes and scripts, and build new industry connections and relationships. Acting classes can also teach you about the business side of acting, which is as important as acting itself.

How long do acting classes take?

Acting class length varies depending on the studio and the type of class. Some studios have 2-hour classes, while others have classes lasting 3 to 5 hours. Depending on the location, acting classes may be offered in several formats, such as ongoing weekly classes, weekend intensive workshops, and training programs that can run anywhere from 2 to 8+ weeks.

What skills do you need to be an actor?

While the necessary skillset varies depending on the type of acting you pursue (think Broadway theater vs. TV commercials vs. film), all actors need a broad range of skills to portray the expressions and emotions of a character so effectively that they temporarily transport the audience to a world where the actor is indeed that character. This often involves:

  • Memorizing lines and stage cues
  • Analyzing scripts and scenes
  • Developing a character's emotions and physical expressions
  • Working with other actors, directors, and production crews
  • Adapting to unexpected changes and situations
  • Speaking clearly and adjusting one's voice to align with the character
  • Learning and developing different acting methods and techniques
  • Being comfortable in front of an audience or camera

I have studied with Regina for 3 years. I came to her with a need for technique, and to be able to use my voice correctly since I had already developed bad habits. She taught me breathing and placement in many different ways so I could implement them with any song I needed to perform. Since then I have been able to perform vocally challenging runs of musicals with ease. Her style of teaching is very focused and her education spans across all genres, so she can aid any student at any level.

Working with Giovanni has been an absolute game-changer for my self-tape auditions. Not only does he have an exceptional eye for technical aspects - lighting, framing, blocking, and sound - but his guidance in uncovering authentic layered moments within the material is unparalleled. Gio creates a collaborative, supportive environment that encourages exploration while remaining laser-focused on the demands and given circumstances of the scene. He challenged me to connect with the character in ways I hadn't considered, while continuously exciting the frame - bringing a new depth to my performances and elevating my tapes. I've seen a noticeable improvement in the quality of my tapes and, more importantly, my confidence as a professional actor. Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned, working actor, Giovanni will help you bring your craft to the next level. I couldn't recommend him enough.

It is seldom that an actor has the opportunity to work with such a gifted teacher. One who has such a keen eye to the creative process, is able to foster a sense of trust that allows the student the space to grow as an actor and to understand the gift of what it means to 'live truthfully under imaginary circumstances'.

Reno is an excellent coach and very knowledgeable of the industry. He offers actors a place to grow, network, and the ability to hone their craft all within the Actors Gym. Not only are classes available, professional headshots and various other forms of coaching services are available. I highly recommend Actors Gym, a place where an actor of any level can feel comfortable improving their skills.
