Acting Classes In The USA:
How To Organize Your Trip

Studying Acting in NY:
Organizing Your Trip From A-Z

Taking acting classes in the USA for many international actors is a hot topic. Living in Europe, I am often approached by actors asking about this subject. Going back to NY every year from Italy, I’ve noticed that there are many actors from foreign countries for whom taking acting classes in the USA is seen as a must to have a real chance at a career in acting. Last year alone in my Meisner class there was a guy from Isreal, anoher from Germany and girls from Sweden, Holland, Australia and me, who came in from Italy, even though I’m American. There were also two girls from Japan, who were there on a special intensive for a few weeks.

In a couple of my previous classes, there were two Italian guys, a Russian girl and other girls from Sweden, Holland and Switzerland. Also, here in Italy I encounter any number of actors who have at one time or another gone to NY or LA to study and given that I have done it several times, I’m frequently asked a lot of questions about how best to approach the trip to the U.S. That’s why I thought It would be cool to dedicate a page to international students.

8 Things To Think About

When you think of the whole trip, which I have done six times now, there are in my opinion, eight important things to keep in mind and I would say in the following order:

I’ll walk you through all these areas to help you to plan a successful trip to NY.

1. Your objective
2. The right time to go
3. Length of your stay

4. Your budget

5. Choosing the acting school and the acting classes

6. Finding housing

7. Getting around in New York

8. Keeping in touch back home while you’re away

See if some of these books can assist you as well in gathering information about acting classes in the USA.

Hi Tony
I would like to thank you for helping me with the monologue question I asked in October 2007. I went to the auditions for a Drama course and I am happy to say that I have been accepted as a first-year student at the Tshwane University of Technology. Please keep on sending me those newsletters and let me know where I can find books that will help me in my acting career. Thank you once more. Have a blessed day.
Sincerely
Edward Thaba -South Africa

Hey Tony, thanks for the info, yours by far is the most useful, I am 30 years old, and I myself always (secretly) wanted to be an actress, but I never knew where to begin, so thank you. You have given me hope!

Hi, I’m John.
You answered a question for me about two weeks ago about how to write my cover letters…I want you to know your advice was helpful. I got called in for a part as an extra in my first movie! It’s not big, but it’s my first one! Thanks for your help!
