Story Institute Acting School

Story institute has amazing part time classes that help you continue training. The full time diploma is what you NEED to take your training to the next level, especially if you attended a previous institution it really takes what you were taught and amplifies it to the professional level you need to be to work in the industry. Great place to meet likeminded people to continue your work in and out of the classroom.

Great place to learn very friendly and open atmosphere I’ve learned so much since starting the 6 month program the teachers are great and very invested into the students future to strive for success

I did 2 months of free virtual auditioning classes with Michael during the pandemic, it was my first time getting back into acting for over 10 years and it didn’t disappoint! Michael is a knowledgeable, talented, experienced actor and an attentive, supportive teacher. He reconnected me with the principals of acting, and taught me so much about the world of auditioning today. I am so grateful for the opportunity and so glad to have experienced it with Michael. There are others out there that are grounded in more of the “old school” world of acting (you know- namely misogyny). Michael was so respectful, yet hilarious and kept us laughing. From my experience I think this school would be a great investment to any actor’s career. Thanks for lighting my fire for acting again, making me believe I can do it and giving me so many great tools!

The PT Audition classes I've been taking with Michael Coleman have been amazing. They have been small sized classes which allows a lot of time to get personalized instruction and constructive feedback from not only Michael, but from the rest of the class participants as a way for everyone to continuously be engaged throughout the class, taking advantage of the time that's available to learn even when you're not the one in front of the camera. I find that with the small groups it's easier to connect with the other students and a family like relationship is built quickly. Everyone is there to support each other while we're all pushed past our comfort zones (which is the only way to grow as far as I've experienced). I've always felt as ease at Story Institute, even with the nerves that come up before it's my turn to perform. From my first meeting with Michael I've felt he is truly interested in identifying what my goals are and doing whatever he can to help me move towards them. I could go on for a while longer, so I'm going to summarize as best I can. My experience at Story Institute has me feeling seen, heard, truly supported, pushed to grow, and a place where new meaningful relationships are developed on top of developing skills. I've never been so excited to continuously go somewhere that pushes me out of my comfort zone consistently. I highly recommend checking Story Institute out for anyone who is either interested in pursuing anything in the TV/Film industry or just curious about dipping a toe in to see how it is.

Warm and friendly place. my son is loving the classes there
