I.O. Acting & Creative Studio

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!)

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!

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 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!

I don't know where to start to be quite honest. Just finished beginners classes and just, wow. I suffer from severe chronic anxiety, both general and social. I took Adam's class because I'd love to become an actress but, with my anxiety, wasn't so sure about it. I took the class anyways, to at least have a reason to get out of my house and do something new. I thought to myself that maybe this would help me be less shy and anxious. Tho anxiety doesn't just go away magically, I did however exceeded myself by doing something I would never have done in a million years. On my 1st day, I was terrified. I remember, when we all introduced ourselves, I was shaking, my voice was trembling and couldn't look anyone in the eyes. As classes went on, I started to feel more at ease. I soon realized that, when in character, I'm a totally different person. Adam makes us feel very at ease. Something I rarely saw in other types of classes. Instructors were very stern and like to tell you your every little flaws. But Adam is nothing like that. He'll point out what you did well and what to improve. He's so dynamic and passionate about it. Hadn't been for this class and Adam, I might of never discovered that passion in me. I never thought I'd enjoy it this much but, it exceeded my expectations. It made me come out of my shell and made me realize how totally different I am when in rôle. And for that, I am forever grateful to him. If you too would like to try out acting classes, this is the place to go. Affordable prices, very enjoyable, interesting and a safe and friendly environment. If you also suffer from anxiety and would like to try something new to get out of your comfort zone, go for it. It is truly amazing how it can help you to improve yourself. I 100% recommend it and you won't regret it. 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 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
