NYCDA has done more for me as an actor and a person then anything thus far. This school has really shown me how much more there is always to learn about acting.

actually really good for developing yourself as an actor
Overall 4.1
An amazing program to develop your craft. Professional, WORKING teachers and mentors who are the legacies of legendary acting teachers (including Bobby Lewis, Sanford Meisner, Fred Karamen, Uta Hagen, Kristin Linklater, Tadashi Suzuki, Anne Bogart, Cicely Berry, etc.) Serious doubts if you can find a more intense, engaging program than the 3-year.

If your going to spend the money go to a school that will give your a degree at least you'll have something to fall back on.

If I had known then what I know now, I would have gone to Tisch at NYU, Julliard and/or Lee Strasberg.
