Act One Studios, the Midwest's largest professional acting school, is a training center in Chicago which offers small, practical, challenging acting classes in a supportive environment. We offer classes for adults in Acting, On-Camera, Voice, Movement, Directing, and How To Get Started In The Business. With our small class sizes (average ten students), you receive personal attention from our faculty - all working, professional actors and directors. Our classes allow Professional Actors to polish their craft and explore new media, and provide Beginning Actors the foundation for learning a wide range of skills -- from the first acting class to the first audition to the final performance. We also offer a series of acting and film classes for high school students.

The Conservatory at Act One Studios is the only full time, two year acting conservatory program in the mid-west. Call us for a free consultation: 312-787-9384.
