"It's A Workout for Your Acting Muscles".
"Astoria is a neighborhood many actors and artists call home, yet there's a limited Quality of Adult Acting Classes being offered, ultimately leading to the creation of Astoria Acting Workshop.
I wanted to use my Training and Mastery to help my fellow artists living in the neighborhood, making it a more convenient and accessible way to receive quality training. When I say quality, I'm talking about classes that teach actual technique.
Acting classes are like a gym; it's a place you go to learn, practice and exercise. We especially need acting classes between gigs so that we can keep working on our craft and be ready for when that call comes in. If we don't use it, we lose it.
Spend your time and money on a class that will actually help you grow as an artist. It's not just about performing a scene for our friends and family, it's about becoming a better actor. Here at Astoria Acting Workshop, I can Teach You how". - Elizabeth

"The workshop was exactly what I needed. It reinforced how sensory work and relaxation connect with inner work and tapping into the inner child—something I know I need to focus on. It left me excited to explore more workshops. The instructor’s energy was amazing, and the whole experience felt more like connecting with my tribe than just attending a class." - Gary
