Denver Acting Classes & Coaching

YES.

All actors new to the studio must complete one of the following intensives to be eligible for ongoing classes:

• ACTING FUNDAMENTALS – Designed for beginners, actors with a theater background and limited on-camera experience, and working actors who are new to the studio. OR

• FUNDAMENTALS+ – Designed for actors and filmmakers with extensive on-camera experience.

These introductory courses are required before requesting placement in ongoing classes. Completion of either course familiarizes actors with the studio’s approach, terminology, audition philosophy, and method of training.

We regularly place advanced actors—including those who have starred in feature films, television series, or hold BFA/MFA degrees—into these prerequisite classes as an essential part of their training at the studio.

Please Note: Completion of Fundamentals or Fundamentals+ does not guarantee placement in an ongoing class. Actors may request to be added to the waiting list, and advancement depends on instructor evaluation and class availability.

No. Even professional working actors benefit from FUNDAMENTALS + and SCENE STUDY classes.

All students must complete an interview before being placed in Fundamentals. Continued training beyond this course is optional and not automatic — placement in ongoing classes is considered on a case-by-case basis and depends on space availability and instructor assessment.

Yes. If you are just getting started on your journey as an actor or if you are looking for a creative outlet our ACTING FUNDAMENTALS is extremely informative, welcoming, and fun!

​To respect the privacy of our students, we do not offer class auditing to non-studio members. Acting is very personal, and we strive to create a safe space for actors to grow and push out of their comfort zones.

During your interview, we will go over what to expect in the ACTING FUNDAMENTALS or FUNDAMENTALS + classes. It is also a great time to ask any questions you may have and get a sense of who we are.

No. However, on occasion a casting director or filmmaker will reach out to the studio and ask us to share their casting.

Actors frequently ask Todd to write agency or other industry recommendation letters.

Todd will do this for students who have been in one of our ongoing classes for over a year and demonstrate exemplary work, participation, attendance and collaboration.

No. After completing Fundamentals, actors may ask to be added to the waiting list for ongoing classes. Placement is not guaranteed and is based on available space, demonstrated commitment, and continued auditing.
