Craig is a true gift to actors and The Archibald Studio is one of the BEST places to train and work on your craft! I've worked with Craig as my professional acting coach for years, and he is one of the most authentic, kind, caring, supportive and encouraging people you will ever meet in the biz. He offers in person and virtual classes too! He truly cares about his clients, and helping us get the performance needed in order to book tv and film work. I'm so thankful to have him in my corner and I highly recommend him for anyone who is serious about pursuing professional acting work - LA or anyone else in the world!

I've had the privilege of working with Craig Archibald as my acting coach, and I can confidently say that he is a remarkable mentor. Craig possesses a unique blend of compassion, understanding, and a deep-rooted knowledge of acting that has transformed my approach to the craft.

One of the most outstanding aspects of Craig's coaching is his distinctive approach, which clearly reflects his extensive years of training and a profound understanding of the origins of acting techniques. Under his guidance, I have learned to truly live in the moment of each scene, allowing me to feel and experience something entirely new every time I deliver a performance. This freshness and authenticity have breathed new life into my acting.

Since I began working with Craig, my skills have grown exponentially. I now feel more grounded and free in my work, a testament to his exceptional coaching methods. Craig takes the time to understand each student individually, tailoring his guidance to meet their specific needs. His dedication to his students' growth is truly remarkable, and it's evident that he genuinely cares about their progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to truly excel in the craft.

I’ve been at Archibald Studio for almost 4 years now & it has been & continues to be the best investment into myself and my career I could make. I’ve been active in classes (in person and on zoom), taken private coaching sessions, and participated in seminars and workshops. Craig is the best coach to take me from the stage to the screen, to make sure I’m well rounded as an artist and a business, and to help me navigate my life and artistry with confidence, integrity, and joy. I’m forever grateful to have him in my corner.

Craig Archibald meets each client where they are, and individually tailors his approach to help everyone reach success. His classes are incredibly friendly and welcoming. He is a coach with both a wide and deep background in the industry, and empowers his clients to become not only accomplished artists, but smart business people. I cannot think of a better guide to lead an actor at any stage of their career, and I count myself lucky to be a part of the Archibald Studio. Highly recommend to any creative who may be looking for an A+ coach and community!

I've been a working actor for over two decades and I've taken classes with a lot of coaches, but I've never met someone so willing to go to bat for his clients as Craig Archibald. He gently demands the best of you, illuminates your acting blindspots, and insists he is part of your team, not a guru. I've studied with him for years and know first hand his passion for actors as well as his brilliance with getting them to be their best in their craft and business. Not only have I improved my own skills and mind game, but I've seen others go from beginners to incredibly good working actors in record time. Craig pours his heart into creating champions. HIs classes take place in his comfortable living room where he creates an atmosphere for his students to root for each other, learn from each other, and leave class creatively full. I can't recommend him enough.

Craig is the real deal. I've been going to him for coaching for over 3 years, and his coaching is keen and compassionate without beating around the bush. Highly recommend to actors looking for a workshop that also offers one-on-one coaching.
