“I have no idea how I got so lucky as to find such a wonderful and supportive community of actors and artists. When I first audited the class, I immediately felt welcomed and part of the family.

Classes with the Young Actors Space have introduced new relationships and opportunities I am so thankful for. Patrick is an encouraging, enthusiastic teacher who knows how to speak to actors and goes out of his way to help you individually. I cannot recommend this studio enough."

"Young Actors Space provided me with a supportive environment to develop both as an actor and as a person. In my time there, I had the privilege of meeting amazingly talented, hard working people from all over the world and forged friendships that I'll keep with me forever. I'm beyond grateful to have found YAS and honestly can't imagine my life without it."

“As a singer, entering the acting world was pretty intimidating. Patrick Day and everyone at YAS welcomed me with open arms and taught me how to embrace my fears and go for it! I’m so grateful for Young Actors Space and all that it has taught me!"

“The Young Actors Space is a phenomenal place for anyone looking to hone their skills in the performing arts. I appreciated the welcoming environment that the lead instructor, Patrick Day, has created. As soon as I stepped inside I was made to feel like family! Through Patrick’s instructions I gained confidence in myself and in my abilities as an actor.

I always enjoyed Patrick’s critiques which usually involved helping me to interpret the scene, my character, or the other characters involved, in a way I had not considered before. This helped me to look deeper into the hidden nuances of emotion and motivations encompassed within the material I was performing; I was increasingly able to personally connect with a scene and was able to make it mine and thus more authentic.

The amount of talent of all those who attend YAS is astounding! I am in complete wonder and awe as to how everyone there is not already famous! With people possessing such an impressive volume of talent."

“Young Actors Space has changed who I am both as an artist and as a business person in this industry. I am finally comfortable and confident walking into an audition room and onto set. The community of actors at YAS is unbeatable and I feel genuinely supported and encouraged by the incredible talent surrounding me every week.

Most importantly, Patrick Day is the best acting coach I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He cares deeply about his students and cultivates a safe environment to be vulnerable and take risks while also encouraging us to approach our work truthfully and organically. I am so thankful for YAS!”

"Young Actors Space has changed my life. I’ve learned so much from Patrick Day that I know I will carry with me to every set I work on. YAS is also like a family to me. I’ve met lifelong friends through my classes there and I’ll be forever grateful for my experience at YAS."

“Young Actors Space became my second home for a while. I moved to LA to pursue my singing career, but figured I’d try my hand at acting while I was here. I came to YAS to audit a class and was instantly hooked. I was shy at first, but that went away almost immediately.

Patrick Day has constructed such a comfortable and welcoming creative environment that you feel completely safe and open to express yourself fully without fear of judgment. At YAS you are among friends, and soon you feel like part of a family – which is a priceless feeling when you live in LA!”

“The Young Actors Space was the first acting studio I attended after moving across the country to start my acting career. Not knowing anyone, the space became my family. Patrick is an outstanding teacher of humanity with so much kindness. I never left a class without having about a dozen “ah-ah” moments. The Young Actors Space has so much heart. I highly recommend it!

“There isn't enough room on this page to express how I feel about Young Actors Space, and the people that occupy it. Patrick Day has created an incredible environment; where you can simply drop your ego at the door and embrace the work. His notes during class aren't generic, rather tailored to each individual actor. Whether you're a beginner or a series regular, this studio welcomes you and makes you feel like family.”

“Ever since starting Young Actors Space in 2014, I have not only become more confident onstage, but in life as well. The atmosphere at Young Actors Space is one of family. There is no competition between actors, just everyone working toward the same goal. In group classes, Patrick strives to give each actor individual attention to help them grow through scene work or improv. I have truly made lasting friendships and memories at Young Actors Space."

"Patrick Day and all the teachers at Young Actors Space genuinely care about the students and their futures. Patrick has helped make me the actor I am today. There is no safer place in LA to be vulnerable, open and honest. I have learned to embrace my type, hone my skills and improved upon my weaknesses without fear of ridicule or rejection.

I have cried, laughed, been afraid, feared, intimidated and been intimidating at YAS and these are all very wonderful things. I would not be the performer or person I am today if it wasn’t for Patrick. I have made lifelong friendships and the level of support from the people here is astounding. I highly HIGHLY recommend YAS to anyone looking and am grateful beyond words to have YAS and Patrick in my life. Thank You Patrick!"
