“ I can’t say enough great things about the Studio for Performing Arts and Walid Chaya as an acting coach. Walid creates such a safe, inspiring, and professional environment where actors at all levels feel seen, supported, and challenged. His coaching is both insightful and practical — whether we’re working on a dramatic monologue, comedy scene, or preparing for a showcase, he always brings out the truth and uniqueness in each performance. He understands the business side

“ I've participated in several of Walid's workshops on Scene Study and it has been a game changer in my VoiceActing journey. He directs the group with honesty, patience and humor. As a newbie to performance acting, he makes every talent in the class feel welcome. I appreciate how well planned, informative and thorough the workshops are so all levels in class can benefit. Looking forward to the next class. ” - Donna Cosentino, Actor
