Graham Shiels Studios NYC

Midtown Manhattan has long been a magnet for performers who need to sharpen their craft between auditions. Graham Shiels Studios NYC offers a place where actors refine scene work, voice projection, and character development—essential skills for anyone serious about the stage. Classes cover improvisation, cold-reading techniques, and even Shakespearean text analysis, all within a curriculum designed to push students beyond their comfort zones.

The studio occupies space on the 11th floor at 1601 Broadway, a building synonymous with Broadway itself. Here, the energy of Times Square seeps through the windows, a constant reminder of the stakes involved in live performance. While the neighborhood thrives on spectacle, the work inside focuses on the quiet, disciplined practice that precedes any standing ovation. It’s a contrast that defines the experience for many who train here.

Those ready to commit can reach the studio at (323) 230-0139 to discuss enrollment. For anyone mapping their route, directions are available here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25950e5fa6331:0x4fcd560f5ae5d5ff.
