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

Karoliny M. says, "Working with Debra has been one of the most enriching experiences of my artistic journey. She’s not just an acting coach, she’s a true mentor and a beautiful soul who genuinely cares about her students. Debra went above and beyond my expectations, offering not only top-tier professional guidance but also heartfelt support that made every session feel safe, inspiring, and empowering. The professional acting training I received from Debra was worth every penny. I saw a return on my investment with not only a major boost in my confidence and skill as an actress and model, but more importantly, I landed paid lead roles, and that is truly worth celebrating! Her techniques are masterful, clear, and transformative, she knows exactly how to unlock the potential in each person she works with. What started as a student-coach relationship quickly blossomed into a connection filled with trust and mutual respect. I wholeheartedly and confidently, highly recommend her professional acting coaching training and all of her acting classes to anyone who wants to grow, not only as an actor but as a human being. Debra is simply the best." Read more

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

Working with Amy has been amazing! She has been able to help me not only with my auditions but to grow and be confident as an actor. My first audition with her I was nervous and not as confident, but all that changed with the first class I had with her. Every new material we work on now is fun and interesting to see where the direction goes. I’m just grateful for the great auditions and reels we have made.
