“The coaches at AFA give me great pointers on how to play all different types of roles. Also, they are amazing people and super fun to work with!”

“What I love most about AFA is the community. Having a group of artists that I can depend on to inspire and motivate me is such a blessing.”

“AFA is a great space, right near home. I get to read with a great actor and when I ask for direction they guide me where I need to get. AFA has been a huge stress relief for my auditions.”

“What I love about AFA the most is Abbie and Chelsea’s willingness to go in all the way when helping with self tapes. I know I am always going to walk out with a tape that I and my team are confident with.”

“The producer and the director of my movie told me that they loved the tape I did with Devin and that they watched it 100 times! And everybody knows that 100 is a really big number.”

“AFA teaches you how to prepare for auditions and make them as unique as possible! You can tell that the teachers really care about you and want you to succeed.”

“What don’t I love about AFA?! As an actor, ‘The Eight’ at AFA is textbook. It’s about your peers playing, learning from one another, and letting their success inspire yours. It’s a family.”
