At Truthful Acting Studios, the instructors are kind, genuine, wise, and open-minded individuals whose goals are … More not to train everyone to act a certain way or a “right” way, but rather help everyone act in the way that is the most truthful and real to them. People have said that these classes are a transformative experience of self-discovery, and they’re right. I just finished Meisner I with Robb, and the class (and classroom environment) really helped with my self-confidence and my faith in my abilities as an actor, but it also helped me feel more in touch with myself and helped me make connections with my talented peers. It was a truly wonderful experience getting to meet and work with so many other creative individuals, and Robb is a very special and insightful teacher. I feel honored to have been able to be able to work with and learn from him; the lessons, discussions, and instruction from Robb are truly priceless. Whether you want to be an actor or not, I would 100% recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn something about themselves, feels disconnected from themselves or is going through a hard time, or who wants to explore their creativity and their heart. You will learn and experience things that will stick with you forever and change your outlook on life.★★★★★
If you’re unfamiliar with the Meisner technique, some of the lessons/classwork may seem strange or confusing, but every little tool you learn truly makes a difference and helps you to be able to tap into an authentic “performance” that feels more like an experience, as well as connect to your character, the scene, and your scene partners. It all adds up, and produces real results—although they will be different for everyone. They want you to act in your own way, and they guide you in how to do that effectively. Trust in the work, and let it be! I cannot wait to learn from Marco in Meisner II!🩵 -

The teaching here is world-class and done in a safe environment for an artist to grow alongside others on a remarkable journey. I am only taking my beginner steps into acting, and I would not trade the experience they provide for anything. If you are in the Orlando area and have even a slight interest in acting, check them out! Thank you, Marco, Robb, Samantha, and everyone in my class and the Truthful Acting family!★★★★★ -

Completing the Meisner program is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. This conservatory … More isn’t like any other — it’s a transformative space where truth, vulnerability, and growth are at the heart of every class. I came in expecting to learn techniques on how to act like someone else, and ended up knowing how to truthfully live as the ‘character’ - fully present, emotionally meaningful; never pretending to be someone else. Rob and Marco create an environment that brings out your best, helping you break through personal barriers so you can act freely, truthfully, and artistically. I came out a completely different person, with a deeper understanding of myself, my craft, and human connection. 💖★★★★★ -
