I came to Studio 13 with no previous acting experience . Everybody starts at the same place so you never feel like you are getting left behind, no matter how much acting you may have done before. We are currently only half way through the first module but my confidence has improved so much already. I would definitely recommend Studio 13 for anyone looking for actor training.
