"I've been a student at Studio 24 since 2011 and I consider myself so lucky. They are so professional and they just want to see us as actors thrive and succeed. I can always ask them anything about this business because it's honest and genuine!"
"This class and the Studio 24 institution is in my opinion, the best acting class I've ever been able to attend. I took a class at an extremely reputable acting company in San Francisco, which was amazing, but coming across Studio 24, it blew that class out of the water. Cody has the ability to pinpoint a performance, tweak it, know his students, and direct them in a way that gives results that dropped my jaw more than a few times."
