Testimonials

"I’ve been in several other acting classes. There are a variety of motivations driving people to undertake the very ambitious and demanding career as an actor. For some, that reason is fame. For some that reason is an escape. Will Wallace’s acting class is for those actors who aren’t satisfied with mediocrity and who revel in the blood and sweat that goes in to creating exceptional performances; A character that will exhilarate and overcome an audience.

Will’s class is not just about simple service to a writer’s script, but taking it far beyond what even the screenwriter could have hoped for. With research, creativity, and fearlessness (and Will Wallace) an actor has the capability to not just survive in Hollywood, but dominate."

"Will’s class is so wonderfully different from most classes I’ve been in, in most classes they teach you a formula to fit in a little box, but Will pushes you outside that box and gives you the tools to really explore your depth and versatility... I wish I’d found him years ago."

JOSH EMERSON

Actor - Jennifer’s Body, I Love You, Beth Cooper, Tooth Fairy

"I cannot begin to rave enough about Will. He is just everything! He is an excellent coach, actor, writer, director, friend and human being. He is brilliant and gorgeous to boot! I sent about 4 or 5 of my girls from Austin to his class in Hollywood last summer and they loved every second of it. I would tell any actor to walk, crawl or hitchhike but do anything you can to get in his class!"

DONISE HARDY

Casting Director

"Will's classes serve us actors as a reminder of the undiscovered self exploring and discovering not only the revelation of truth but how to face it. Will, not only do you come with the force of a director but also a teacher and actor which helps the student actor to find joy in acting while being vulnerable on stage. It's a tough thing to do. That is why your students stay and become dedicated to the kraft and art. 

It is wonderful to be able to go to a school and know that no matter what, as the student, you're going to get up and work, not just watch a scene, not just get up and do it, but to get up on stage and work with a fellow actor and explore the dynamic a scene or monologue can offer to the artist. What's great is that persistence, as the teacher that you are, to drive the inner force in helping the artist find a stronger meaning in the work."

EFREN RAMIREZ

Actor - Napoleon Dynamite, Crank, Eastbound & Down

"To say that Will Wallace has been helpful to my career as an actress thus far is a massive understatement. Will has not only served as an amazing mentor for me throughout the time that I've known him, but has also taught me so much about myself as an actress. He has helped me understand what it means to become completely consumed in a character and taken me to places emotionally that I never knew I could go to. Will has helped me learn the value of making strong and creative choices. I've grown exponentially since I began training with him. I can't thank Will enough for everything he's done to contribute to my career."

NIKKI KOSS

Actress - ABC's Famous In Love (series regular), Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, Red Wing

"Will’s passion for acting, and for creating life’s moments on screen, stage, or in the classroom make class scene work positively memorable."

BURTON "BUBBA" GILLIAM

Actor - Blazing Saddles, Paper Moon, Back to the Future III

"When I first audited one of Will's classes, I was impressed by the high quality of the work by students in the master class. I have not been disappointed. The class is full of a good mix of people, and someone is always working on something, so it's proved to be an excellent networking opportunity. Our guest teachers are working professionals in various aspects of the industry, and from meeting them I've had auditions, parts, offers of representation, and been directly cast."

SUMMERA HOWELL

Actress - American Horror Story, THS Investigates: Serial Killers on the Loose

"Will Wallace's love and innate knowledge of this industry is Insurmountable. His passion is clearly evident in every role he takes on; and in every class that he teaches. He emboldens his students with a sense of passion and wonder."

AARON DAVID JOHNSON

Actor - Detention, Happy, The Defenders

"The Will Wallace Acting Company is awesome. Period. I've been studying there for about 2 years and have seen significant improvements in myself and others through the methods Will uses. What I like most about his teaching style is that he basically trains you to train yourself. He asks questions, teaches you which questions to ask, and hones those skills necessary for great acting. I also really enjoy the weeks where Will steps out of the routine and has his students take on roles outside of being an actor. You learn so much when you get to direct a scene. It causes you to look at things differently, which in turn can have enormous benefits for your acting. One of our favorite days was when we worked on audition technique. For each scene someone from the class would give bizarre direction that the actors would have to incorporate (you have a spider in your bra, you're high on weed, you have severely painful gas etc.) It was wildly entertaining, and extremely helpful in getting us to follow direction and think outside the box when approaching an audition. Every week is a new adventure."

GREG BARNETT

Actor - Raising Hope

"For as long as I can remember I've always wanted to have a teacher like Will Wallace. He's the kind of mentor who pats you on the back then pushes you even harder, helping you attain a higher, untouched state of mind that you yourself didn't even fathom to be possible; who thrusts you into the arena of action and doesn't ever let you retreat, until you find that only by putting yourself in the throes of destruction you in turn become indestructible and ready to shape shift the world to your benefit. Will Wallace is a master of unleashing your true potential, allowing you to become the person you are meant to be. He dares anything, and he will make sure you are on your finest game. No tricks, no bollocks, only truth."

NATALIE KABENJIAN

Actress - Trafficked, Urban Myths, The Appearing

"Will was the most impressive coach with whom I have ever worked with in my 20 year career in TV, film and theater. He helped me a lot to understand the reason to be in each moment of the character, and from this knowledge make the best choices in the scene. To have someone of this level by my side made me a conscious, courageous and a daring actress. I recommend his services without hesitation to actors of comedy and drama or any other art genre.


"Will, foi o coach mais impressionante com o qual eu já trabalhei nos meus vinte anos de carreira na TV,Cinema e Teatro. Ele me ajudou muito a entender a razão de ser de cada momento do personagem a ser interpretado e a partir desse reconhecimento optar pelas melhores escolhas em cena.Ter alguem desse nivel ao meu lado,fez de mim uma atriz mais consciente,corajosa e ousada. Recomendo seus serviços,sem moderacão,a atores de comedia,drama ou qualquer outro genero de arte cenica."

KAMILLA ALNES

"I distinctly remember my very first class at the WWAC. It was that day when I knew I finally arrived at that very special acting class I had always longed for. After every class with Will, I walk out feeling like I am a better actor. It is invaluable to me as an actor to be studying with a true professional who has over 18 years of experience in the industry. 

Will and Sara Wallace are extraordinary people who couldn't care more about their students and what it means to pursue this wonderful craft of acting."

CAMERON BARSANTI

KATRINA COOK

"Have you found an acting teacher who is also a successful actor, producer & director? One who is working constantly, not only due to talent, but due to a passion for every aspect of the business? I found that teacher. Will educates his students with an in depth knowledge that can only come from being on both sides of the camera. His energy and excitement during the learning process are infectious. If you want to stir your passion and start making bolder, more creative choices both on and off camera - Will's class is a must!"

"I love Will's acting class! I have met so many of his talented students. Everyone is great to work with and I felt welcomed from the first moments of class. Our assigned scenes are always really fun to do and we all get a chance to perfect them. I really feel the support from the other students. Its really refreshing to know that others you are working with want you to succeed. It was great to find out we would be having other successful directors to teach the class along with Will. I am definitely sticking around for as long as I am able to!"

GISELLE MARIE

Actress - Closure, Sheer Luck, Tiny Underfoot

"Will's coaching style is more like that of a skilled director who is a collaborative artist, enhancing the role rather than an instructor who just tears you down. His exercises, methods and techniques are fast and effectively help you to build your confidence and get you working at really landing a job in the industry. Ultimately becoming a more effective actor and most importantly a professional."

RILEY BODENSTAB

Actor - 90210, Days of Our Lives - Recurring, The Last Boat to Alcatraz

"I think that there are two kinds of people in this world: People who let life change them, and people who have the courage to change their life. Will Wallace is the latter. An absolutely brilliant coach, he teaches uniquely to the individual needs of his students. He is a very dedicated coach whose inspiration to teach comes from the belief he has in each one of his students- and sometimes all you need is one person who will root for you. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to say that Will Wallace is rooting for me."

ASH WEBB

Actress - MTV's Faking It

"Will has an amazing talent for finding what you need to focus on in your acting, and the energy and love to help bring everything you have inside out. He doesn’t try to fit you into any one ‘method’ of acting, but rather focuses on making what you do real to you."

CARSON AUNE

Actor - Battleship, True Blood, 90210, Clear Lake, WI

"An exceptional understanding of our artistic medium, passionate style of direction, distinguished industry experience, and magnetic personality allow Will Wallace to create a nourishing yet challenging environment for artists of all experience levels."

TYLER NEITZEL

Actor - 300, Justified, Criminal Minds, NCIS: Los Angeles, ER, Baywatch

"Will is a wonderful acting teacher who teaches you to get out of your own way and truly be in the moment. He has an amazing knack for helping you to quickly understand the circumstances of the character and scene you are portraying. Unlike a lot of classes I have audited in LA, one of the reasons I was particularly drawn to his class is because of the safe, fun and collaborative environment he creates. This not only enables you to have fun and play with scenes but also to take risks that you mightn't dare to take in other classes. Due to the fact that Will is also a director and producer himself, he has a lot of industry connections, and as a result of this I have had the opportunity to audition for some great projects because of him!"

SOPHIE TILSON

Actress - Neighbors (series regular), Wrong Swipe, Dracano, The Wedding Pact

"Every week, I look forward to my night with Will Wallace and the Will Wallace Acting Company! Will has a knack for breaking a scene down to help me see and explore various subtexts and character nuances that i may have missed. He will challenge me and he always helps me to refine and focus my performance and put me completely in the moment! I love everything about his class from our warm-ups and various exercises to actually watching and performing our scenes. And I get to work with some of the most talented and creative up-and-coming actors in Hollywood!"

TOM CALOCOCCI

Actor - Red Wing, The Appearing

"I have been studying with Will Wallace for about a year and a half, and it has made a world of difference! It has made the biggest impact in my acting and in my career than any other class or training I've done. Everyone I have met through him has been of the highest caliber, including his students. He is an extremely passionate and caring coach who constantly invests in his students. I am so grateful, too, that he is always looking to do whatever he can to further his students' careers whether it be by helping them find representation, giving them audition opportunities, or connecting them with the right industry professionals to widen their network and community. I am honored and thrilled to be a part of the WWAC!"
