Michigan Actors Studio

These classes are some of the most fun and entertaining I have ever had the pleasure of taking. I began my journey at Michigan Actors Studio (a.k.a. MAS) with the Voice Over classes and I took them all at least twice, some even more. I want to get better with my voice overs, so I was encouraged to study acting as well. Now it seems I enjoy the acting classes even more. I haven't had an instructor at MAS I wasn't happy with. They all know how to get the best performance from an individual. Here you will learn a lot about people, life, and most importantly, yourself.

I’ve had the pleasure of learning from an outstanding voice over teacher who truly stands out for their fluency, clarity, and depth of understanding. Lisa has a remarkable ability to break things down in a way that’s easy to grasp, while maintaining a high standard that pushes you to grow. What I appreciate most is her balance of assertiveness and expressiveness — they give direct, constructive feedback that’s both encouraging and empowering. Her passion for the craft is evident in every session, and it’s contagious. Thanks to Ms. Lisa’s guidance, I feel more confident, capable, and connected to my voice. Highly recommended for anyone serious about developing their voice and presence!

I did improv classes with Andi at Michigan Actors Studio. It was an amazing experience! Andi created the most fun, non-judgemental, inclusive, creatively free environment, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to introduce me to something as “intimidating” as improv. The classes themselves were so fun and it was cool to play games that let you express creativity through the art of being unapologetically wacky. I would highly recommend an improv class here to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone or who wants to explore their silly side.

Michigan Actors Studio is my favorite acting studio here in Michigan. Wonderful learning environment, and Kate is a wonderful teacher. I am very glad I came here to study, and it is a place I would return to again and again.

Taking the intro class with Kate was one of the most fundamentally impactful events in my life. In addition to the immensely valuable lessons learned to further my craft, it had deep impact on me as a person. My confidence is much higher, I'm much more comfortable taking risks, and my personal and social development has greatly expanded. I've never felt more safe in a space than in class, and I'm deeply grateful for everything. If you're on the fence about taking a class, this is your sign. DO IT! I guarantee you'll be very glad you did.

Michigan actors studio teachers are amazing. The studio has successfully created a safe environment which is essential for the vulnerability that students need to express to be creative. The teachers are all highly skilled as well. I took acting 1 for kicks. I had no expectations of continuing. I’ve since worked my way up to scene study and taken it several times. I’ve also acted in a lead role in a play. For me - scene study is an exploration of self and acting. The bigger the risks - the bigger the growth. I’m grateful for the safe space that allows me to do this

The Michigan Actors Studio is truly amazing! They offer a wide variety of classes led by expert instructors who ensure everyone feels involved and encouraged, regardless of experience level. I’ve had the privilege of taking classes with Kate Peckham and Rico Bruce Wade, and I can’t recommend them enough. Their dedication and genuine care for the students creates a great atmosphere. I initially joined to step out of my comfort zone and connect with other creative people, and it’s been such a fun and rewarding experience! My classmates have also been wonderfully supportive each time

What a great place! I took the class "Intro Into Voice Acting" with Lisa and loved every minute of it. If you have ANY interest or curiosity about pursing voice acting I would absolutely recommend this class. Lisa is a great instructor who coaches you in an intimate setting in a group of with other students. She works well with everyone, whether you're shy, have stage fright, or you're the life of the party. You'll learn the basics of voice acting, the path it can take you on, and you'll be able to practice your craft in class every week. Stop reading this review and just sign up! Take the leap! Ask for Lisa and tell her Dominic sent you!

My experience was brilliant! Positive energy from my classmates and of course our teacher Kate! She makes it so welcoming where you are comfortable and confident because she never judges you or makes you feel less about yourself. She is there to help and guide you. I truly recommend this class if you want to have fun, meet people and try your hand at acting!!! Love all around and I am looking forward to the mastery class! 👍🏽👍🏽
