At SKS, our goal is for you to walk into class as if you are stepping onto a professional set—fully prepared, with thoughtful choices made, and ready to deliver your best performance. We are committed to holding you to the same standards that you will encounter in the industry. Our training is designed to be career-focused and craft-oriented, exclusively for serious actors.

With shows like ADOLESCENCE and THE STUDIO filming full episodes in a single take, there is an increasing demand in our industry for excellence. Relying on "tips and tricks" or only putting in effort when you have a "real" audition will not lead to true excellence. Instead, our approach emphasizes the importance of reading entire scripts, thoroughly breaking down your sides every week, and performing scenes out loud with fellow actors who will hold you accountable. This rigorous practice is what will help you uncover your own excellence.

Embracing these high standards may feel challenging, but we believe it is essential to face these challenges in the supportive environment of our studio. We want you to confront these expectations here, rather than under pressure on set.
