THERE’S NO BETTER ACTING TRAINING FOR A GIFTED, PASSIONATE FEW.

The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts is one of the best acting schools New York City has to offer. Every year we audition close to 4.000 aspiring actors to create a new class of just 180 students. Those select few get the opportunity to experience the most demanding, comprehensive and rewarding acting training for today's aspiring actor. While industry insiders have long recognized NYCDA as the premier film and television acting training ground in the country. Acting is not a prerequisite for admission. What all our students do have is that rare combination of traits that simply cannot be taught: instinctive acting talent and an insatiable drive to succeed.

Sound like you? We look forward to helping you develop a satisfying and exciting career in this amazing profession at our acting school in New York City.
