Student Reviews

“The teachers I had were amazing and I love them to death! Since then, I’ve had several profound opportunities at the beginning of my acting career, such as opportunities on Riverdale, Charmed, Lifetime TV , and FX Network, which have served as significant building blocks for the future! Nothing but pure love for the teachers, Michael Coleman, and my absolutely amazing experience here!”

“My time at Story Institute has been nothing short of spectacular! The faculty and teachers are kind, caring, and compassionate, as well as knowledgeable and well-trained. In the Professional Actor course, we are taught how best to prepare for the industry and the skills required to succeed. Full-time studies, practicing and honing our skills, provide a guiding hand and welcoming environment on our journey to becoming professional actors.”

Wyatt Flagg – Diploma Student

“I am quiet shy, introverted and it is quiet difficult for me to openly be comfortable in front of people, but in less than a month, I was able to shed a lot of discomfort and felt like I could at least work on being at ease in an open environment which was something that is very difficult for me. I’ve also had some rough acting experience in the past, and was scared to repeat the same experience again, but now that I am attending full time, I see that the program is very well designed, and adapted to meet everyone’s need where they are, as well as is so beneficial in a full time schedule, i wouldn’t have it any other way. I am so beyond happy.. Absolutely worth the time, money and effort.
