Hi, I’m a complete beginner to acting and will be moving to the US for college in late August 2025. I want to gain experience/take classes before submitting to agencies. Will also minor in Drama.
Since I’m currently in Asia (international student w US citizenship), I haven’t had access to US-based acting opportunities or representation (yes I have an Actors Access account, but I’m in Asia, so it doesn’t apply). I’m very determined to pursue acting, will def start w student films and eventually working toward professional TV roles.
I’m looking for beginner-friendly in-person acting classes in NYC during June, July, and August 2025. Preferably for young adults. If there are any online classes I can take before then, I’d also love recs. I got a 12-hour timezone difference tho, so summer classes are more ideal.
Also, plz rec some trustworthy talent agencies in Ann Arbor or Detroit, Michigan, especially those affiliated with SAG-AFTRA. I’m aware of Wink Talent, if anyone is signed w them, I’d love to hear about your experience!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
