individual instruction
everyone works, every class
For over 30 years Andrew Benne has offered training for the professional and beginning actor in a safe, challenging, and inspiring environment. The Studio is dedicated to training and preparing actors for professional work in the film and television industry. Our actors work!
Acting Classes at Acting SD cover technique, improv, scene study, and cold reading. Free, participating audits are offered by appointment.
Classes are small and very individualized in order to inspire creativity, risk taking, and personal growth in the actor. Studio teaching focuses on three areas: (1) troubleshooting the particular blocks that are holding an actor back from reaching his or her full potential; (2) providing a solid foundation and training in our Hybrid Meisner Technique; and (3) Persona, image, and branding. Actors in our studio discover who they are, and what they are selling as an actor. Essential insight and personal knowledge to actually be a working actor in today’s entertainment industry.
