Indie Acting Studio

"I've had an awesome experience since day one of coming to the studio. I was really nervous to attend, but all the students and Forrest welcomed me in with open arms, and on night one, I was already reading scripts and diving into acting. I love that everyone is so family like and warm, and its really great to see familiar faces every time I come to the studio. Forrest gives great critiques every class and is very encouraging and intentional about helping you grow. He also has great folks come in Saturdays to do workshops for us. I recently took a voice acting workshop. The Studio also gives you lots of tips for navigating acting, including how to develop your portfolio, take headshots, and put yourself out there to get gigs. It's also great to see my classmates faces in movies and I know one day soon it will be me! Come to the Studio and join our little odd bunch! :D"

"This is an incredible place. It doesn't matter what your abilities are, you will be accepted and coached. Forrest is amazing, patient and encouraging. He also invites other teachers to come in and teach. Even if you don't think you have an acting bone in your body, if you are interested in trying your hand at acting, come out and give it a go. The folks that come to classes become like a family and they are also very encouraging. What are you waiting for? Get up off your chair and show up in the next class! Yvetta"

"So so glad I finally said “Yes” to myself and checked out Indie Acting Studio! From the moment my son and I walked through the door, we were welcomed and treated like old friends! This is a safe-space to explore and develop your acting skills with honest feedback! Loved working with Forrest, and the Joe Loesch VO workshops are the best in town!"

"I ADORE Indie. After only one class, I came in and felt like family. Forrest makes sure everyone feels seen and pushes us to improve and work towards our goals. It is such an incredibly diverse group of creatives and each class you will have learned something new, improved on something, and LAUGHED! Through Indie I’ve also had opportunities to network and learn from people doing what I want to do through classes and the many workshops Indie hosts. If you’re near Memphis and interested in getting into the industry- THIS is the place:)"

"So glad that Memphis has this place! It’s so nice to be able to go somewhere (fairly priced!) to practice skills as an actor. Forrest has created a great family here and I love his classes. Getting to practice scripts and see others practice is very enlightening and rewarding. And everyone is welcome here!!"
