Train. Be Seen. Be Heard.

​

At Coates & Company Acting Studio, we believe every performer deserves a space where they feel safe, supported, and free to take creative risks. Our studio is built for underrepresented and emerging actors who are ready to grow—not just as performers, but as artists with something meaningful to say.

​

Whether you’re stepping into acting for the first time or you’re already working and looking to deepen your craft, you’ll find training that meets you where you are. We offer acting classes and private coaching both in person in Toronto and online, so you can train in a way that fits your life.

 

Training That Nurtures Your Full Potential

Our instructors bring decades of real-world experience from film, television, voiceovers & animation, and theatre—and just as importantly, a deep commitment to your individual journey. Every class and coaching session is guided by care, honesty, and a belief in what you’re capable of becoming.

​

Here, you’re not taught to imitate. You’re guided to discover your own truth, confidence, and voice as an actor.

​
