Helping actors of all levels grow with confidence, craft, and connection
Hi, I’m Ryan Sands — an actor, coach, and teacher with 20+ years in professional TV and film.
My teaching combines craft and confidence with practical, on-set experience. I help actors bring their full selves to the work — grounded, truthful, and ready for any opportunity.
In every class, I focus on process, not perfection.
Actors learn to trust their instincts, make strong choices, and develop habits that translate to real-world success — whether that means booking a role, rediscovering joy in the work, or growing in creative community. My goal is to make each session both challenging and deeply supportive.
Whether you’re preparing for an audition, just starting out, or returning to the craft, you're in the right place.
