Acting conservatories go beyond the piece-by-piece approach, believing that a full two year acting program in NYC is the only way to begin to master a fine art.

Two year programs are the ideal way to create that safe space, a home away from home. Actors that experience two year acting programs grow by leaps and bounds over those that take one or two short term classes at a time. The long term approach means that the actor works with a team of professionals that they come to know and respect, rather than an instructor that is rushing through a curriculum in a short span of time.

Research class size also, as the crowded classrooms in many “cattle call” type schools are a waste of valuable time and money. There is no way for the actor to receive the kind of individual attention they need in this kind of environment. Two year conservatory programs in NYC will give the student time to work at a more thoughtful pace, and produce a professional that can make more thoughtful acting choices.
