Willow Brook Studios Information

Willow Brook Studios is the realization of a unique collaboration. Its founder, William James, began as a model and actor after graduating from an extensive 4-year Meisner training program. In 1998, he became co-owner of Take One Studios, a training and networking center in Beverly Hills and shortly thereafter began apprenticing as a teacher's assistant for one of Hollywood's well known acting coaches. In his desire to further expand his knowledge and articulation of the craft of acting, William began to create his own cutting-edge techniques and founded Willow Brook Studios in 2005. The studio's goal is to build an ever-evolving environment through which actors, writers, directors, editors, etc. can develop greater skills while expanding their body of artistic work. WBS has always maintained the principle that acting, like any other performing art, must be mastered through diligence and process. Our qualified staff has diverse backgrounds ranging in everything from actors, writers, models and voice over artists, to working with agents, managers, casting directors and executives at Warner Brothers. It is our firm belief that an acting studio should be much more than just a place of learning. It should behave more like a university and less like a Hollywood acting class by providing all the services an actor needs to learn their craft and enter into the industry with a solid business sense. Our quest is to help each and every artist who collaborates with our studios to enjoy great success and fulfillment in their chosen field. Since 2005, Willow Brook Studios has evolved into a strategic planning and preparation facility, providing the education, tools, and creative support that inspires our growing network of forward thinking artists to create their own unique path to prosperity. "It is my sincere intention to create an artistic space where the perfect blend of guts and grace reside.
