Testimonials
z/a studio is NOT some kind of a cooker cutter or high volume acting studio where every performance is “Great” – and that’s what attracted me. I needed to know what makes a truly good performance. “There are always notes” – as Rob Zimmerman will tell you. I wanted honest feedback on my work.
Over the last three years, I have learned how to create detailed and more specific characters. At z/a studio we learn more than just scene study. We also study notable movies and plays of all genres past and present to be the most knowledgeable actor in the room or on set.
z/a has given me solid techniques to improve my confidence and ownership of my craft. The biggest shift I have made as an actor (and as a person), thanks to z/a, is that I feel much more comfortable “being seen.” I think this is due to not only the acting technique, but also the supportive and uplifting community in this studio.
The teachers hold space for actors and give you the tools – through acting, administration, and attitude – to elevate you as an actor. The expectation of your work is greatness. Most importantly they care for you to be a working professional actor, and will get you ready for the real world by turning your dreams into action.
Rob Zimmerman is simply one of the best acting teachers around as his emphasis on acting training and administration is top notch. Along with Peter, z/a studio creates an incredibly welcome and meticulous environment for their students that nurtures their growth and pushes them to become the best version of themselves.
I’ve been with z/a studio for nearly two years. The most valuable acting lesson I’ve learned is that, without being deeply personal, you run the risk of not reaching full potential. The biggest shift in myself since joining class has been a better ability to access my emotions. z/a studio acting notes and directions, above all, are clear.
