The Actory

"The Actory is a modest but mighty acting school. The instructor, CJ, is highly experienced and knowledgeable in this field. Not only in the craft of acting but in character development, script analysis, camera work, using your voice and body effectively, and what's necessary for building your professional profile (headshots, reels, resume, etc). The school is amazing for all, from beginners to professionals, and the teaching is hands-on from your first day. Attending has been the best decision I have made in growing my skills. The Actory has a wonderful community. CJ fosters an atmosphere that's inclusive, supportive, and encouraging. If you are interested in pursuing or furthering a career in acting, I highly recommend The Actory."

"Coaches are wonderful. CJ is remarkable. Great space for actors to find themselves, practice and grow. Lots of on camera exercises and classes are constantly changing to further develop your skills as a well-rounded actor."

"I wish I was able to take more classes here. I am moving out of state and I’m glad I got to at least come for a month and wow! What a life changing experience. Instructor and casting director CJ is such an amazing human being, he makes me laugh, he makes me realize things about myself, and he makes me want to keep learning and learning more from him. I learned so much from these classes thanks to him. I would always feel happy, at peace and welcomed thanks to the people who go there, everyone is so friendly, talented and there’s zero judgment. I have never done acting in my life but coming to this place wasn’t scary, I felt I could be and feel like myself and I’m happy about that."

"CJ is an incredible acting coach. He works with every actor on an individual basis to bring out their strengths and improve their acting regardless of whether they are new to the craft or have been doing it professionally for years. In addition to improving your skills as an actor, he has a wealth of experience on the business side coming from the casting world; he focuses on making your journey a priority, helping improve your materials, better aligning you with agents, and coming up with a real world strategy so that you get more castings and book more jobs! I cannot recommend The Actory enough."

"I feel blessed to have found a home and community at the Actory. CJ and Carlos are amazing teachers and know exactly how to coach an actor on how to book the job... from commercials to film and TV. When I started taking classes I had no film or TV credits on my resume. In the past few years that I have been training and self taping there, I have booked many commercials, several films and a great TV Series. Obviously, their techniques work. Whether you are just curious about acting or you want to make a career out of it, The Actory is definitely the place to go."
