Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located?
We hold our classes at Corrigan and Johnston Casting Office in the NoDa neighborhood of Charlotte, NC. The physical address is 3006 North Davidson Street, Charlotte, NC 28205. It is a fantastic renovated mill house from the 1920s that is right across from the Johnston YMCA. There is a gravel parking lot up the steep driveway in the back and loads of street parking as well.
Can I rent this space from you? | What are your office hours?
Apologies, but no! We rent the studio space on non-business hours from the lovely & talented owners of Corrigan & Johnston Casting! This means we do not own this space or receive mail there. You can reach us at any time via our email address or our Facebook or Instagram page.
Are you hiring? Do you have internships? Are you an accredited school?
No, we are a small operation with 3 instructors. Due to our size we do not offer internships or any other outside accreditation opportunities. We are simply a small business.
Are there age or experience requirements?
No experience required but we are 18 years & older only.
When does the next class start? How do I sign up? Cost?
Please check the individual Classes page or the Calendar for all current & scheduled future class dates. This is the only place to register for an upcoming class. If it’s not up yet, it’s not confirmed yet or is a specialty workshop that is occasionally offered. If you are interested in taking a class subscribe to our mailing list to get alerted when new dates are scheduled or follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Google Business.
Do you offer classes for kids or teens?
Unfortunately, we do not. All of our classes and workshops are 18 years & up. We are geared towards adult education and some of the scene work can be pulled from scripts that are mature in nature. There are some great resources in the Charlotte, NC metro-area such as:
Do you offer private coaching and lessons?
We no longer offer private coaching due to such limited availability of our instructors.
I have acting experience; can I skip a class level?
If you are completely new student to us, we like to start at the same place with everyone in Level 1 Subtext. We understand many of our new students already have experience and may be working actors or have a background of training. However, if you are enrolled in Subtext and the instructor feels that you should be in another class, they will work that out with you personally.
Can I audit a class?
Yes, please contact the Studio Manager so you can set up an appropriate time and date to visit!
Can you tape my audition?
No. We do not offer that service right now, but the casting studio does! You can email cjcasting@gmail.com with "Self-Tape" in the subject line to schedule your appointment
I missed some classes; are there refunds or rollover credits? Can I sign up for fewer classes?
No, we hold the class in your absence and know that your scene partner missed you! All sales are final, no refunds unless the entire class session is cancelled altogether. Otherwise, if you have purchased a class and can not attend, you are free to let us know and claim a spot in a later session of class. Film Actors Studio Charlotte does not allow drop-ins or pay-as-you-go single classes. We also do not allow students to register for less than the standard 8-week session or provide a prorated tuition.
Are there payment plans?
Due to collection issues in the past, we no longer allow partial payments during registration. Film Actors Studio Charlotte accepts all major credit cards, certified checks and cash as payment.
