The Archibald Acting Studio

I can’t say enough good things about Craig. Not only is he an amazing teacher, but he really cares, he inspires, he makes you want to be not only a better actor but a better person. I have been to a lot of acting classes in LA and this is by far the best. There are very few, if any people like Craig and his amazing studio.

this, soul… is here to support yours. period.

Craig is more than an acting teacher, even though as far as acting teachers go he’s the best I know. Craig is an entire career coach. Not only has he improved my acting tremendously, he’s taken my entire attitude and reshaped it. We’ve created an entire career plan and I have someone to hold me accountable while I execute it.
Like a lot of other reviewers on here I’ve been to several acting schools in LA. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Craig. He gets to know you personally so there’s only specific, tailor-​made coaching. He is the best.

Simply the best. I’ve worked with Craig for almost 3 years now. I’ve trained at many of studios, with coaches over the last eight years. What I noticed and why I’ve stayed with Craig, is he doesn’t just teach you to book a guest stars. He helps strengthens the fundamentals that make careers. You are forced to make the most honest and interesting choice. You will go to him for the rest of your career as you grow and continue to watch your career flourish.

Get ready to go through a beautiful purification process when you study with Craig. His focus is lazer like yet gentle. I have learned so much about myself and my craft through working with him. He is the ONLY coach i recommend. Do yourself a favor if you want to start booking and give him a call ASAP.

Craig is a really good teacher who will definitely take your work to the next level.

I have gone to so many different classes in this town, and I have never experienced such growth and support as I have with Craig. The class is almost addictive because you watch yourself learn so much every time you go, you don’t want it to end!
Craig has helped me see things in a scene that no other teacher has showed me, and not to mention what a kind, loving, supportive guy he is. You always feel safe to go the extra mile in your work and try all different avenues when you are working with him. He is able to see your strengths and weaknesses and get the best out of you. I love working with him whether it’s privates or class.

Craig is an amazing acting teacher & coach. I have studied with many acting teachers in Los Angeles & Craig is truly the best amongst them all. His approach is clear, concise, grounded & effective… which is different from alot of other teachers I’ve been to who have just confused me more in my approach in acting.
Since I’ve been coaching with him I’ve gone to producers for every major role I’ve auditioned for & booked a few of them :) !! Craig really knows how to work with you to help you get the role. He also coaches a bunch of major working actors & celebrities so he really knows the game out there right now which is more than I can say about alot acting teachers/​coaches whose approach & knowledge are kinda archaic. For any actor looking for a great acting teacher or coach who will truly be on your side & knows how to get you to the next level you should definitely go to Craig. Trust me u won’t regret it!

Craig Archibald is, without question, the only coach I would recommend. I have been through many of the acting schools in Los Angeles, and never found much success, or truth. But, after working with Craig I began to understand the craft, then booking roles. I am of the opinion that acting classes in LA are a scam, and a true actor must find it within himself. The only exception I have found is The Archibald Acting Studio.
THIS IS A MUST GO FOR ANY ACTOR IN LA. If you want to work, and be a true artist with longevity in Hollywood, you’ve got to try Craig.
He’s the best!

Craig is a tremendous acting teacher. I’ve studied privately with him and always leave feeling inspired. He will work with what you bring to the table and get you to dig deeper into the craft to take those skills to the next level. Plus, all the work is done on camera — a huge bonus and benefit. Craig is honest and straightforward as well as kind and encouraging; he loves what he does and that passion is contagious. I have learned so much more about acting and the business working with him and cannot recommend him highly enough. If you’re searching for someone to truly help you move forward as an actor, this studio is where you want to be!

I can’t say enough about Craig– he’s an amazing coach! Having been trained in NYC, my bar for acting coaches is very high and after two years in LA, I had yet to find a teacher that resonated with me to the degree Craig does. Working with him made me feel «home» in my craft and art. He has a heart of gold and gives a lot to everyone he works with and that shows up in the number of bookings his clients steadily bring in!
