A studio based around top-quality training, with a unique focus on spiritual wellness and community support for actors. I have never encountered such an open and positive environment, one which at the same time has challenged me to the brink of my artistic limits so that I may surpass them (and indeed I have, and continue doing so). The head coach Tony Babcock is a wonderful resource for actors of all levels. His guidance is solid and dependable. I couldn't ask for a better space in which to train and work.

Tony, you are the best teacher I have ever had. In yesterday's class you evoked emotions from me that I didn't even know I had, then was able to apply them to my character. I was so exhausted afterwards but it was the best exhaustion ever. I had such a breakthrough. You can never stop learning in acting. Just when you think you've got it...there's more and for that i thank you so much. Thank you for creating such a warm and SAFE environment in class as I continue to pursue my passion and dream! Sincerely, Maxine

I love this place. Stuff are friendly,rooms are clean and the studio can accommodate several types of rehearsals. Its right along the ttc line so easy to get to. There's a great artistic community there. I always feel like there's a family when I go.

Every time I walk into "Improv Your Acting Studio", I feel like I'm back in acting school. It has the welcoming feel of creativity, and is all around artsy and inspiring, which pretty much sums up the great man who started and owns the studio, Tony Babcock and his staff. The dressing room towards the back of the studio gives you a feeling of putting on a play, and I just all around love it. I have great memories there that I'll always cherish, and I'm sure there will be many more to come. Highly recommend!

From the moment I auditioned for the spring conservatory, I knew that Improv Your Acting would be a step forward for my career. It has been a leap forward for my confidence as an actor and as a person. I continue to take classes because of Tony's knowledge, charisma and passion.

The only thing I enjoyed were the improv classes but that’s about it. I’m very disappointed that I never gain any real skills nor guidance to get started as an actor. To be the actor ‘’I want to be’’ but Tony never gave me any proper answers to my questions related to that which upsets me. This is why I’m never going back to his classes anymore.

When you begin work with Tony and the incredible crew of IYA, you don't just begin a fun journey of building your craft. You become a well rounded performer. With the multiple classes that IYA offers, it is hard to go wrong! It's more than just a school, It's a positive community where everyone cares for each other and assist one another in the development of their arts.
