This is an amazing industry, that is NOT getting affected by the strikes.
Actors will learn how to adapt their actor skills specifically for working with a microphone vs a camera or stage.

They have an amazing gift of being able to effectively and honestly communicate with the actor allowing for immediate growth and change. SKS has helped me hone my craft in a way no other studio has yet. Thank you!"

What our CLients have to say
"SKS has helped me find MYSELF in my acting again! For years I was so focused on trying to give casting what I thought they wanted, and I forgot to bring myself to every character. SKS has shown me that the most unique thing you can be as an actor is YOURSELF. That you should trust your instincts and your impulses, and never dim your own light. The studio is a safe, supportive and encouraging space to have fun, play, and be yourself."
-Britney Young (GLOW, Series Regular)

"My life completely changed after my 1st consultation at SKS. After 7 months of working there, I found a manager and theatrical agent, went through my first pilot season, and booked a Series Regular on a multicam show. If you want to be a WORKING actor, this is where working actors train."
