Why choose The Actors Boot Camp?
- All Acting Corps actors come to class every day, prepared and on time.
- We don’t charge you an arm and a leg, and a foot.
- All Acting Corps teachers are currently working actors with fancy MFA degrees from places like Rutgers, Irvine, and Yale. Like all professionals we do it often and for money.
- We don’t worship dead acting teachers who were popular in the 1950’s. We believe that even though some famous actors studied with these teachers, these actors were such forces of nature that they would’ve made it no matter what. (Was anyone going to keep Brando from being Brando? Come on.)
- Our approach is uniform, practical, and current, focusing on giving you all the tools you need to get a job.
- Our instructors have actually ACTED, and for money. They didn’t just represent actors, or meet with actors, or ask them out at a party.
- Our students do not teach our classes. They would like to, but we tell them to go out and look for acting work instead.
- We keep classes small, to an average of 16, not 30, or 40 so that you can actually work extensively in every class.
- Though he wouldn’t mind it, we don’t encourage you to worship our Artistic Director Eugene Buica.
- We showcase your talent so that you can earn street creds and maybe an agent. EARN is the operative word.
- We answer our phone and try to help you. We are here to serve your need for a creative life and an acting career. Just call us, you’ll see.
