okay so I am 18 and attending a community college. So far it's alright but not the greatest experience. I was wondering what schools/colleges out there provide good acting curriculum's. I mostly want to be in a conservatory.

if anyone out there can help me, it would be so helpful. I'm very new to all this so i do not want to make a bad decision

Stella Adler is my choice. If you do a search you will see my posts about it.


"A woman, standing nude, looks in the bedroom mirror and says to her husband, "I feel horrible, I look fat and ugly. Pay me a compliment.? Her husband replied, "Your eyesight's damn near perfect." He never heard the shot."

I DON'T recommend AADA or AMDA.

My beef is with year+ institutions like AADA/BFA/MFA programs is this. I believe in being more diverse in my training. The year+ programs can sometimes be like factories where they churn out actors who are taught pretty much the same thing through a structured curriculum. What might work for one person, will NOT work for a different person.

Also, a lot of the conservatories and BFA/MFA programs have strict policies such as NOT being able to audition outside of their school or study at other places simultaneously. I think this is limiting to the actor. The actor should have the freedom to audition for outside projects and add to the current curriculum.

Diversify your training!

In addition to Stella Adler, other good schools are:
-William Esper Studio
-HB Studio
-T. Schreiber
-Weist Baron
-Upright Citizens Brigade
-Margie Haber
-Redwall Productions (Rosalyn Coleman Williams)
