Success Stories

I began taking classes at ATNY when I was 11 as a recommendation from my agent and loved it. Now, I am 22 and to this day keep in touch with Todd and ATNY. I’ve booked HBO’s Vice Principals, Netflix’s Stranger Things, my first feature, Boy Erased, with Russell Crowe and most importantly, my first lead in the Netflix series "Outer Banks."

ATNY has shown me that you can't be scared to make mistakes. One important thing is to always be yourself. ATNY's improvisation class has taught me to be fearless, take risks and don't be afraid to take chances. Most importantly ATNY taught me to believe in myself.

I love ATNY because they have really good acting classes and it’s professional. Todd is an amazing coach. He’s hilarious and he helps me get the jobs!

“ATNY is an insanely unique, welcoming, helpful program that I came into nervous at first, but now I feel I have developed not only life long friendships, but a whole new family. Todd and the teachers work countless hours to make sure we learn to relax, develop our acting abilities and even loosen up as people. I enjoy every minute I spend in their classes because it doesn’t feel like school or work. You’re still learning a great deal about acting and about yourself. I am forever grateful for what I have learned. I know I couldn't get the opportunities I have gotten without the ATNY team.”

I have learned so much from classes with Todd, like beat changes and emotions. I used to do my scenes all as one emotion and now I can bring more depth and complexity to my scenes. I also learned to act with emotion and not to fake over act!

ATNY has provided such great instruction, and so much encouragement! The advanced teen acting exercises and improv classes have been especially helpful in building confidence and growing as an actor. I’ve had so much fun and learned a great deal from the instructors and other students!
