Do acting schools have an age limit?
Are you looking at youth-oriented schools? Even after completing a BFA, you’re still not done with training. Training is a non-stop part of acting. You’ll see young people to people in their 80s in an acting class. Actually, in the acting classes that I’ve gone to, most of the classmates are no younger than 18. If you plan on continuing your training in either LA or NY, here are some of the best schools: In LA: Cold Reading/Auditioning -Margie Haber -Brian Reise -Amy Lyndon Commercials -Hey, I Saw Your Commercial! -Chris Game -Stuart K. Robinson -Stuart Stone -Killian McHugh -Francine Selkirk-Akerman -Carolyne Barry Improv (All four are great) -Groundlings -Second City -Upright Citizens Brigade -Improv Olympic Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren’t fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner
