I.O. Acting & Creative Studio

Adams classes are a really great way for anyone to improve their acting! I highly recommend all the classes, I especially loved the advanced acting for camera class. They are organized in a way that makes you feel comfortable and have a lot of fun, yet as the time goes by you start realize how much you have improved. He structures his feedback according to each students skills, bringing out the best in everyone and instilling a desire to get better at the craft. These classes brought back a love for acting I had forgotten I had. I cannot thank Adam enough, definitely take a class at IO if you are considering it!

So far I had an absolute blast and mind changing experiences with Adam's classes. (Adam is very open minded and kind hearted! - comfort is key, there is a high emphasis that you feel safe within the space!) Last year I had taken the beginner and intermediate acting class out of sheer curiosity for the movie industry and finding another creative outlet. Then I went on to the Screenwriting class which really rekindled my inner flame for writing - you can learn quite a lot here, as the excercises are also a lot of fun. Total recommendation if you want to get more in touch with your creative side, or if you are already: the right place to search new realms within your creative self. Would totally take more writing classes if there will be the possibility of some. (You can see my excitement in the website's top banner, ha!)

I took Adam's beginner and intermediate acting class, and what an experience it was! Let me start by saying I am an English language teacher and I originally took the class to diversify my skill set and try something new. I never expected to have so much fun and enjoy acting as much as I did. Every week I would look forward to going to class because I knew each class would be interesting, fun, and challenging. Adam is an amazing teacher who provides constructive and honest feedback. He knew when to push us and how to bring out the best in us. Regardless of where you’re coming from, Adam will teach you something you didn't know about yourself and how to tap into that knowledge to become more aware, confident, and in control of your body and how you express yourself. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone and everyone! I got a lot out of his classes and I'm not even interested in becoming an actor. The school where I work immediately noticed a change in my presentation and teaching style. Furthermore, I even started to receive more positive feedback from the students taking my classes. Thanks again Adam!

Adam has an amazing drive, and outstanding ability to communicate to his students, to connect with them, to move them, and to make them laugh! What I especially appreciate is that, even though there is a general feeling of informality, camaraderie and spontaneity floating comfortably about in his classes, the content he delivers is superbly and consistently curated and generous in detail and specific examples. Also, the level of hands-on opportunities to "put yourself out there", to give it a try and/or to watch others give it a try, succeed, fail… The level of interactivity, the benefiting from being part of a group and the individual attention given to each student are thoroughly and ingeniously well managed!!! You’re the best Adam and we’re so glad we found you for our daughter! Bravo!!!

I highly recommend I.O. Acting Studio. Adam is a great teacher. The classes are fun and very well structured, you can feel you're improving gradually. It is a very safe space to work on your social skills, especially if you suffer from anxiety or trauma triggers. Whether you want to start an actual acting career or just improve your confidence and speech abilities, you can't go wrong with Adam.

I found myself under extreme fortune finding Adam and getting to take his beginner, intermediate and advanced acting classes. Prior to those I have never taken an acting class and almost never saw myself taking an acting class, for I am inherently a shy, reserved, introverted human being, but at the fault of Adam’s extreme knowledge and passion for acting you can’t help yourself but want to perform, create and ACT! I can’t give this review enough stars and can’t wait to take another class of his, truly one of my favourite teachers

I recently completed the Intro to Acting course never having had any acting experience. Adam creates a fun, safe, and challenging learning environment. The tools he provides are not just applicable to acting, but to all sorts of performing and life experiences. I would highly recommend this class.
