Practice Keeps You Permanent Consistency is the key -

Why quitting is not an option? Quitting acting?

Walter Alza; Stanislavski worked on his craft until his last days. He was well over 70 years old. He was a great actor, director and acting coach. Devoted to the craft.

The truth concerning the passions, verisimilitude in the feelings experienced in the given circumstances, that is what our intelligence demands of a dramatist. ”
—Pushkin's aphorism, 1830

To be a successful actor you really have to have a passion for the craft and the patience to wait for the big break. Although being an actor is extremely rewarding, finding work can be a challenge. The profession requires great commitment and fortitude.

Great actors study their entire lives.

"After knowing him for a while I highly recommend Walter's classes. You won't be disappointed."" Stephanie Porter, Porter group agency.

"I highly recommend this studio! I owe my current success to them. This studio is where my journey as an actor began. Aside from the skills and techniques of acting that you learn, the most valuable things that I got out of here is the work ethic, discipline, and the character you build along the way, which prepares you for auditions and work on a real set. The class culture is positive and high energy. A real family-like vibe. An environment where true improvement is harnessed

"Dear Walter, I want to thank you so much for being such a terrific mentor to Nat. She has blossomed over the past few years, and a lot of that has to do with her following her interests, and you being there to teach and guide her. Your personalities come together and make something larger than the sum of its' parts. It's gratifying as a parent to see this, and to know that she's in such a safe supportive environment. Thanks Wal
