"I always leave a session with Craig feeling enlightened, motivated and energized for my future. Craig possesses an uncanny ability to infuse his clients with positive reinforcement while still getting to the root of whatever the issue may be. Craig really has helped me believe in my talents and I recommend him to any artist looking for guidance or refinement."
Chuck Hittinger, Pretty Little Liars, ER, 90210, CSI
"Studying with Craig is like studying with one of the Masters. His insight is profound and his support of his students is unparalleled. When I came to him my foundation was crumbling. I knew what I wanted to achieve but didn't know how to get there. Craig not only helped me rebuild my foundation but has given me a practical road map for all of my work now and in the future. Now I can say with confidence that I know how to get there . . . and stay there."

"Craig has helped me take my work to the next level and more confidently tackle a wider range of characters with more emotional resonance."

"I can say,
without a doubt, that any success I have had...or will have... is due to
having worked closely with Craig. When I first met Craig, I knew very
little about acting... had no idea how to audition and was generally
petrified (and thrilled), by the idea of performing. I cannot even
recognize those feelings now. Working with Craig has given me the
confidence and know-how to not only work in the industry but to work
at the highest levels. Craig Archibald knows the industry and possesses the
insight, tools and passion to guide any actor willing to learn, toward
success."

"Craig is an acting coach that will find a way to make everything make sense. He's all about finding the techniques that work for each individual. He has an ability to give critiques without making you feel crappy. I came in with very little acting education and developed the confidence and techniques that help me book regularly now."

"I've been to more classes, schools, and acting coaches in LA than I like to remember. Most of them live in what I like to call the "SMOG" over Hollywood. Craig is one of the few teachers that will help you see through the smog to the real Hollywood. He is honest and true, and has made me a better actor"
Stephen Beitler,

"It's so nice to have Craig as a coach because he cares about his actors, even when class is over. He coaches you in every aspect of your career making you the best artist you can be. Once you go to Craig, you'll have someone in your corner. And hey, booking the jobs is nice too! "

“I'm not usually comfortable promoting acting teachers in this town, because, well, frankly … most of them don't know what they are doing. But Craig is a different animal –his class is a great investment any actor could make to help their career.”
Lothaire Bluteau, The Tudors, Law & Order, 24, OZ
“There are occasionally people in the industry who actually walk the walk. Craig is a fellow actor and director – and a good one at that! Time with Craig is the best investment an actor could make.”
Kathryn Erbe,

“Hey listen, I can’t blow enough smoke about Craig. He is a great coach and mentor and also just happens to be a great guy.”
John Slattery,
Iron Man 2, 30 Rock, Mad Men, The Adjustment Bureau, SNL
“Craig is who we would go to for coaching, and often did when we were working in Bulgaria together. He's inspiring, calming and doesn't miss a trick. He'll keep you honest and his attention to detail makes your performance, audition or whatever, seem flowing and glowing! Every actor deserves one session with Craig...And after that, if you never want to leave...Don't!”
