Sara Gaston Studio

Sara Gaston Studio

I began Sara Gaston Studio for two reasons.  First, because I saw that there was a need in this market for classes that went beyond simply cold-reading, audition-style, every week.  Or the most basic scene work.  Outside of a conservatory environment, I didn’t see how actors could get the in-depth training and tools they needed to become first-rate actors capable of tackling any role, in any genre.  This is why the training I provide draws from so many sources.  In addition to the training I received at university and beyond,  I draw from several acting perspectives including Uta Hagen, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Michael Shurleff and Harold Guskin, to name a few.  The second reason is that when I came out of drama school, I had outstanding training as an actor but I lacked the business knowledge to get launched.  I had no idea how to get an agent, how to translate what I’d learned into commercial or film work, and how to market myself as an actor.  What I learned through painful experience, I want to use to help mentor actors to navigate more efficiently and to work smarter.  Most of all, though, is that I love the craft of acting.  That I get to share my passion with like-minded individuals and lead them as they grow, is truly a gift.
