I’ve been at Truthful Acting for nearly two years now and I cannot begin to describe what an incredible mark this … More studio has left on my life. The amount of growth, community and love I’ve felt studying acting here has dramatically altered my experience in Orlando, in and out of the studio. Here, I’ve found community and an outlet for artistic creativity unlike any other. Classes are welcoming, supportive and highly encouraging. The environment Marco, Sam, Rob, and so many others have fostered will benefit anyone looking to explore their creativity. I cannot recommend it enough. Who I am today and who I was two years ago are very different people and a large reason for that is this acting studio. I am so thankful to be a part of this community and look forward to continuing my journey with TA for as long as I can!★★★★★
If you’re like me, who constantly put off going to an open house, stop waiting and give Truthful Acting a chance. Trust the timing of your life! You won’t regret it. -

I am so incredibly grateful for this studio and how it has transformed me. Learning from Marco and Robb is something … More I will treasure for the rest of my life. Before this studio, I didn’t believe in my acting and I didn’t believe in myself. I have learned to love myself where I am, trust the timing of my life and that there is always so much to be grateful for, even through the hard parts of life. These classes absolutely make you a stronger, more skilled actor, but more importantly they make you a more kind, accepting and loving human being. The world needs more of this, I highly recommend taking a class at Truthful Acting - whether you’re interested in acting or not, everyone can benefit from this studio! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼★★★★★ -

Thank you so much to Robb, Marco, and Sam for creating this safe space to learn and flourish. I started my journey … More at Truthful Acting in January of 2026- I officially completed the Master Meisner program at the end of August. This conservatory has truly changed my life forever. Before coming here, I had little to no acting experience. Now, I’m hooked on the process and I feel completely transformed. I’ve forged connections and friendships at this studio I know I’ll cherish for the rest of my life, and I’ve done emotional work I didn’t realize I was capable of. I cannot wait to take more classes at this studio and continue my journey of self-exploration.★★★★★ -

Truthful Acting Studios is one of Florida’s best kept secrets. This school teaches you more than just acting it … More also helps you to discover things about yourself. I truly love my experience at this school and not to mention the awesome relationships you develop with the other students. I can’t say enough about TA only that I hope you get the chance to experience the same growth, confidence and creativity that most of us did that went through this program. Thank You Marco, Rob, Sam and Dave. You guys are the best.★★★★★ -

I never would have guessed when I started this journey 9 months ago that I would have found the sense of community … More that I did. I am so grateful to Marco Robb and Sam for being the amazing individuals that they are. As long as they are still teaching I will remain a student. Can’t get rid of me 😝★★★★★ -

What Marco, Robb, and Samantha have created with this community of actors is truly special. Not only are these … More classes of remarkable quality for the craft of acting, but they are filled with empowering insights for life. I will carry this journey with me for the rest of my life. 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!★★★★★ -

I wish I could give more than five stars!★★★★★
I had zero acting experience before taking the Meisner program here. … More In fact, I only signed up because I thought being less self-conscious and learning to listen would help me in my career at an engineering firm. I was always nervous in new situations -- especially social situations -- and had real trouble connecting with people, and that was limiting me in my job and my life.
After completing the Master Meisner program, I am fundamentally not the same person as I was when I started. Being in the performing arts was never something I considered for myself, but now I'm left wondering if I made the right career choice!
The instructors are some of the most caring and people I have ever met. The program they have devised sometimes seems strange an nonsensical, but believe me when I say that you must trust the process! Everything is done for a reason, and they know that you will "get it" when the time is right.
Your success in this program is based on how much effort you put in. Being nervous every day you come to class is a good way to know that you're on the right track.
The community they have developed around this school is second to none, so make sure to take the time to get to know the people and your classmates. Acting -- and just being human! -- is not a solo effort. Your classmates will help you and inspire you more than you can ever know.
If you have never been an actor before, sign up for classes. If you have been acting for years, sign up for classes. If you just want to be a better you, sign up for classes; you might be surprised, as I was, about how this school will change you! -

Meisner 1 was more than just a class…it was a transformational experience. Robb and Marco are incredible teachers. … More They create such a safe, grounded, and inspiring space that makes it impossible not to grow. I learned so much…not just about acting, but about myself. My real, raw, authentic self.★★★★★
This class cracked me open in the best way. I laughed, I cried, I connected, and I felt so seen. The people I met in Meisner 1 have impacted me more than I can explain. Beautiful souls all around, and I feel lucky to have shared this journey with them.
If you’re even thinking about exploring acting or just want to discover who you are underneath all the noise…do this class. It’s honest. It’s vulnerable. It’s real. And it was absolutely unforgettable. -

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. 💖★★★★★
