The Bob McAndrew Acting Studio

Had the chance to audit Bobs class this week. Amazing experience. I was surprised how much I was allowed to participate, and I felt like I got many insightful tidbits just from participating in the warmup and watching the class. Bob had some really unique and interesting feedback. I’m excited to start taking some classes with him in the city. :)

The Bob McAndrew Acting Studio is a place for exploration, discovery and growth, where your creative performing abilities will be tested, honed and perfected. Bob has an amazing perspicacity of human psychology, and he uses that talent to discover the talent within yourself. If you are passionate and believe in the joy of acting, you owe it to yourself to take these classes. As a teacher, he is heaven sent.

In this fine city of ours there are countless numbers of us who are here pursuing our love of performing which means there are also many individuals here who seek to make a living off of us.
Fortunately there are also some great folks in this city who are here to help us be the greatest performers that we are capable of being. I have been fortunate to find and study with one of those people for the last few years.
Bob revolutionized the way I work as an actor. I met Bob at the 15 year mark of my work as an actor. Needless to say I had a few habits ingrained. Bob destroyed the walls of what I was used to calling «home» as an actor, my safety zone. Bob’s way of working varies from day to day, scene to scene, actor to actor. It is dependent not upon «the way he works» but on where you are at with the text at that moment in time. He knows Method, he knows Meisner etc. He will speak to you in terms you are prepared to understand and then gradually build your vocabulary as an actor.
He will challenge and support you without tearing you down or demeaning you while at the same time he will not sugar-​coat things or feed you a line of sh*t just to keep you in class. He does turn away prospective students and has kicked folks out who aren’t putting in the work and making the effort. Bob McAndrew’s classes are for those of us who are ready to make the jump in personal growth that will bring us the success we have always dreamed of. I look forward to seeing you in class/​on set/​stage/​screen!

I was recommended to Bob by a student of his, whoms work I really admired. Bob gave me permission to take his classes and he has been my acting teacher and coach for the last 7 yrs.+.
His knowledge and coaching skills has given me the confidence and tools to use at auditions, and after I book the work. I am forever indebted to his support, encouragement, and persistance as a teacher and mentor. He is an amazing teacher.

I found the Bob McAndrew Studio through another actor. I had only studied with one other teacher (and taken a bunch of workshops) prior to studying with Bob. There is a Thursday on-​camera class and a Monday techniques class. This class is simply amazing. It will not teach you how to act, but it will help uncover the inner obstacles, limiting self talk and outdated or unwanted beliefs that may color your decisions as an actor. Bob is a treasure trove of resources and ideas. I can’t recommend his classes more.
