"As a Casting Director in NYC, I have been working with Actors Connection for a number of years. They have a great facility which accommodates both the actors and the industry to its highest standards. I have met many actors there and continue to bring them in for casting sessions - some of which have already booked! They offer a variety of ways to work and showcase with today's most prominent offices including the one-on-one meet and greets as well as multiple ongoing classes focusing on different mediums of the industry. Additionally, they have an amazing, warm staff and great talent to boot which always makes for a wonderful experience at Actors Connection."
- Stacy Seidel, Casting Director, Broadcasters
"I always enjoy my seminars at Actor's Connection. I find it a great way to meet potential talent. I can honestly say that the level of talent that Actor's Connection showcases has always been of the highest caliber. The structure of the seminars is a brilliant way for an actor to show themselves off. I always come away with an abundance of potential clients that I can then work on getting out on as many commercial projects as possible. I have had the pleasure of booking talent on national and regional commercials. It is always a thrill to inform a talent that I have met at a seminar that they have 'booked'."
- David McDermott, Agent, Jordan, Gill and Dornbaum
"I have been attending showcases at Actors Connection for many years and have had nothing but positive experiences each and every time. The level of talent is outstanding and I have signed many actors in the past several years. Many of those have gone on to book Broadway shows, National Tours, TV and Commercial spots. The staff is very professional and accommodating and make each and every visit an absolute pleasure."

Absolutely fantastic! I learned a lot from it, and taking both this and the intro class is one really nice package. Definitely worth the cost. Darren is very positive and uplifting throughout- which is quite contagious! I tend to be very nervous, but he makes the class incredibly welcoming.
My only complaint is that there aren't more classes to take haha!

Absolutely amazing! Darren does a wonderful job encouraging the entire class and has many ways to spin a scene. I learned a lot from this- especially dubbing as I hadn't gotten a chance to try it yet. The classes covered an array of different types of scripts, and he was great at matching scripts to voices as the classes continued. I'm excited to be returning in his advanced course!

Voice Over Intensive with Lisa Fischoff
Anonymous review on 2/18/2021
She was helpful in her critiques, but it was slated to go for 2 hours and only went for one. So there was definitely time to have us go again and get even more feedback, but they ended early instead. I didn't feel like there was a whole lot of teaching since she had each of us just repeat our assignment once after one moment of feedback.

Acting 101: Beginning Technique & Scene Study w/ Maggie
Anonymous review on 3/9/2019
It's a very basic course, like really basic. Sure you will get to do one little scene but honestly, you are better off buying some books on acting and reading some articles and signing up for something actually more specific or challenging. I just think it was too expensive for such a basic intro class.
Students at Actors Connection New York are generally pleased with the classes they have taken. Many students found the feedback and critiques to be helpful. Students appreciate the instructors for taking the time to listen and explain how to improve their craft. Students learned a range of skills and most would highly recommend the classes and express a desire to take more in the future.
