This class is offered monthly and continues throughout the year. We encourage all actors to commit for at least three months, a period crucial for witnessing significant growth.
Guided by Cody's assessment, actors organically progress into Training 2 and 3, each on their unique timeline. Recognizing the distinct nature of every actor's journey, the transition to higher training levels varies. Embrace the individuality of your path, knowing that the time taken is an integral part of your personal growth as an artist.
