Led by seasoned, degreed, working professional actors, Verve Studios offers ADULT and YOUTH students the mentorship, career guidance and foundational core training they need in order to be successful, working actors.

Youth Curriculum

From one day workouts to a school-year professional training program, Verve offers a robust YOUTH Acting program that fits every actor’s needs.

Verve’s YOUTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM is comprehensive, ongoing training for young actors ages 10-18. Meeting weekly during the school year, classes are by age and level. Starting in Level 1, Foundational technique is taught through script analysis, character development, improv, solo work and partnered scene work. It also is an introduction to Working Actor subjects and professional opportunities in the commercial, TV/Sitcom, film, theatre, TelePrompTer, and voice over fields. With a deeper understanding of technique, Levels 2-4 allow students to work on more complex characters, complicated scene work and the remaining Working Actor course work.

Verve’s WEEKEND WORKOUTS feature the full complement of the Foundation and Working Actor classes, but in an a la carte format. They are designed to enhance ongoing training as well as supplement for those not able to commit to a weekly class. They rotate through topics and content and will keep your skills in tip-top shape. Weekend workshops and workouts are available individually or in a package.

SUMMER CAMPS for youth include the Film Acting (full-day) and Camera Ready (half-day) camps.
