"I've worked with so many actors who can easily describe a bowl of fruit, but don't know how to let the audience taste it." - Brian Cutler

"As a former student at many other acting studios & workshops I was never taped on camera. BCAS offers a unique & complementary option of single camera footage that I have incorporated in real time into my professional demo reel. This concession has increased my audition volume and I now receive 8 – 10 auditions per week and I get 2 – 3 bookings per month. Involvement in the studio has been the key to my ongoing achievements." CMS Visit his IMDb:

Brian Cutler Actors Studio believes in leading by example. Our Master Teacher, Brian Cutler, has been a professional working actor for over seventy years. He knows what it's like to fight for actors rights. To that end, he is on the picket line with you, his peers, fighting for your rights as performers. See what it's like studying with a teacher who has been there. And continues to show up.

Our goal at BCAS is to help you develop the skills you need to continue being a working actor. We have a demanding curriculum with all original material that prepares you for auditions or any jobs that you book. You will be consistently challenged with emotionally complex and significant dialogue. Whether cold reading or doing memorized scripts, this skill prepares you for proper storytelling. After all…we are storytellers.

Ongoing study and preparation make our students accountable to themselves and others. “Your craft will support you when your knees won’t.” The foundation of our studio is simple, we believe in the process of doing- “Learning to act for the camera without a camera is like learning to ride a horse without a horse. It simply cannot be done.”

All classes are filmed in extreme close-up, allowing our actors to become comfortable, masterfully controlling their energy and movement which the subtleties of film require.

At the Brian Cutler Actors Studio, we concentrate on specialized training designed to put actors to work in Film, Television, and Voice-Over. As primary instructor, Brian Cutler taps into decades of on-camera acting experience, forging it into a program for acting professionals based on simple and direct performance. Our method is intoxicating and unleashes your natural talent and swagger. It enables an actor to move and perform naturally in any environment, in an organic and authentic way. As important as real-world experience, our classes based in on-camera acting, in a true, two-camera shoot, create a measurable way to perfect your craft and gauge your progress. If you’ve ever wondered, “What is the most effective actor’s studio near me?”- look no further than the Brian Cutler Actors Studio.

Brian: I ask you to do 3 things: Cold read aloud thirty minutes every day. If you think you know how to cold read you probably don’t. ...

4worldlovers: ​"I am truly amazed at how effective and insightful Melissa Skoff is at her direction and constructive comments concerning the interpretation and performance of cold reading. The outcome from the initial decisions actors made to the end result, after listening to the direction of Melissa, really made me a believer in the efficacy of her talents. I learned so much in just a few classes! She is a true experienced professional and gifted in the field of acting direction. I would highly recommend her classes or private instruction to anyone who is seriously and honestly considering an acting career."


“Whenever anybody asks me how I got into acting here, I tell them about you. I tell them I was in grad school and took an acting class from Melissa Skoff, who just happened to be the casting director of my favorite childhood TV show! Thanks for being such a great coach. You are certainly a huge part of what has gotten me this far. As the Dukes would say “YEEEEEEE HAAAAW!”
