What People are saying…

“…an inspirational teacher and mentor. His easy, natural style helps the student find the trust and confidence to be simple and authentic. I always felt very grateful to have worked with Steve. Through his encouragement and patience, what seemed unattainable became attainable.”

Y. Wittes, Actor

“…I took a few classes with Steve Adams and his generosity and care for my work not only inspired me, but made me more ambitious in the class. He also made me feel extremely at ease when asking questions about the business, like I was talking with a friend who knows and wants to help.”

J. Hughes, Actor

“…I had a great experience with the class and learned a lot. Most importantly it was a great atmosphere with no pressure, a great safe place to make mistakes and learn from them, instead of in the audition room!!

L. Bouvier, Actor

“…Steve Adams is one of those rare individuals in this business that has a multitude of talents. Not only is he an excellent actor but a phenomenal writer/producer as well as a compassionate and thought provoking teacher. Any actor, either established …or first starting out, will feel safe in his very capable hands!”                                             D. Wasyk, director of H, Mustard Bath, and The Hunger.

“…Steve’s class is very practical, insightful, and inspiring. Steve doesn’t get caught up with hokey pokey terminologies and phoniness. He works in a very straightforward approach which is a blessing for actors. The class is also very encouraging. I highly recommend Steve Adams’ class for anyone wanting to improve their acting chops!!!

J. Thair, Actor

“…Steve taught me how to dig deep and really connect to a role. He gave me confidence in my acting ability. His passion for the craft comes through in every word he says when he is teaching, and his classes are a safe place to learn and grow as an actor.”

L. Kitteringham, Actor

“…Steve Adams is a very encouraging and understanding film teacher. I really feel that he helped hone my acting abilities so that they would be more effective and poignant for the camera.”

- J. Sanders, Actor

“…As an actor, I had lots of experience in theatre, but was always uncomfortable when I went in to audition for television and film. The whole thing was so foreign to me that I would just shut down, and I never booked it. I had taken other on camera classes only to find that I left more confused, or burdened with terminology I didn’t understand. Steve Adams knows what he’s doing, from his experience on both sides of the camera. Because he’s an actor in the business, he can talk to you in terms you understand, and you can speak honestly about your challenges and fears to him. His approach is gentle, supportive, and specific – so it really is helpful. The Actor’s Gym boosted my confidence and sharpened my skills.”
