Question
Hello once again Mr. Nemy, it's me Diego again. This time I really wanted to ask about the school where I could train my acting skills. The truth is I've been searching for acting classes in the New York area, but I'm not really sure about how much to spend on them. What do you recommend as a reasonable price, and if possible do you recommend any institution in particular around the New York area?
I really appreciate your help, Thank you.
Diego,
The best actor training in New York is The Julliard School of Drama. Other than that, you may wish to consider New York University's School of the Arts. As far as small boutique instruction, you might want to look into HB Studios (the Herbert Bergoff Studios).
Hope this helps.
Phil
