The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) - New York Reviews
AMDA nourishes and builds my career and artistic drive as an actress. I am thrilled with the set up and organization of both the curriculum and school.
All of the teachers are currently working in the industry. They serve as role models with genuine constructiveness and wisdom.
I have never seen such passion and drive from teachers and students - it's inspiring. It builds trust and excitement in the classroom.
AMDA me feel not so trapped or scared to apply myself into the industry. They prepare, step by step, how to get someone into this line of business.
They broadened my horizons in artistic possibilities:
Classes like Screenwriting, Directing, Stage Combat, Film Making, Improv, Voice Work/Dialects, etc. It's inspiring being a part of a program that is so well rounded!
It’s clear that they want you to succeed and are constantly rooting for you.
They're friendly, inclusive, and located in the heart of the city.
