New York Acting Coaching (NYAC) is an acting training studio based in New York that also offers online classes worldwide. It is a sister company of New York Vocal Coaching and was founded by Justin Stoney. Rather than being a general hobby-course platform, it positions itself as a professional acting studio focused on actor training, audition preparation, and career development.
Its offerings include private one-on-one coaching, group classes, musical theatre acting, monologue training, audition preparation, AuditionNOW emergency audition coaching, on-camera acting for film and television, classical text, scene study, improvisation, and career consulting. Its teaching philosophy emphasizes that there is “no single correct acting method,” instead using a toolbox-style approach to help students adjust their techniques for different roles, materials, and audition situations. Private lessons are built around a student’s existing materials, specific auditions, career goals, or the selection of new material; group classes emphasize collaboration, observation, and feedback with other actors.
According to the official website, its instructors have experience in Broadway, Off-Broadway, TV/film, theatre, and video performance. Arbender Robinson has appeared in ten Broadway musicals and works as a musical theatre acting coach; Evelio Sotolongo has a BFA in Drama and an MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from NYU Tisch; Justin Stoney is a recognized voice teacher and vocal coach. Overall, the faculty background leans strongly toward practical industry experience.
The main text does not disclose specific lesson prices, which is the primary information gap when evaluating budget. Its policies are relatively clear: cancellations within 24 hours for private coaching and group classes are charged the full lesson fee, while cancellations within 48 hours incur a $50 fee. Once an AuditionNOW session has been confirmed and paid for, the time cannot be changed. Those experiencing financial hardship may email the administrative team to discuss options, but no specific scholarship or discount criteria are stated.
Its strengths are its well-segmented course offerings, making it suitable for continuous training from monologues, songs, and on-camera work to career planning; it supports both in-person lessons in New York and online lessons via Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, and other platforms, giving it broad reach; and it does not require a fixed lesson commitment, offering good flexibility. Its drawbacks are limited pricing transparency, a lack of information on certificates or accreditation, strict cancellation policies, and the need to further confirm the actual availability of group classes.
It is suitable for students preparing for auditions for arts high schools, colleges, and master’s programs; actors seeking agents/managers or attending casting calls; musical theatre performers; and beginners who want professional feedback. The main text does not provide information on access from China, so this remains unknown. If choosing online lessons, users should independently confirm the availability of the video platforms in mainland China and the stability of their internet connection.
