The Karl Bury Studio
What students are saying about Karl...
“Karl revolutionized my acting. His innate gift for teaching allows him to be as blunt and honest as he is kind and nurturing. He was born to act, but thank God he teaches too!”

“Karl Bury changed me as an actor and as a human being. He taught me how to bring my own human truths to the work and gave me the tools. He truly understands what ‘freedom in form’ means. My understanding of myself has grown tenfold, and with it, so has my confidence and love of the craft. He is dedicated, straightforward, passionate, and I wouldn’t have gotten into Yale without his guidance.”

“Karl’s class marked the beginning of my transformation as an artist. Soon after joining his class, I booked my first gig in the theater. I am fortunate to say that I am now the latest member of Broadway’s TONY award-winning production of “In the Heights”. Karl saw me through the grueling weeks of the audition process and is still there now as I maintain my craft in his Monday night class. I really think there is no way I would have a career without him. He was exactly what I needed.”

“Karl Bury’s genius lies in his ability to identify the most profound challenges facing each student. His teaching cuts straight to the core. He is honest and direct while always maintaining an atmosphere that is safe, welcoming, and supportive. The changes that come from his teaching must be seen to be believed.”

“As an actor, it defeats your art to tell a lie. Karl accepts nothing but the unadulterated truth
in his students. The truth about our inhibitions, about tensions in our bodies; and most importantly, the plays we work on in class. Karl opened my heart as an actor and as a person. I never thought I would actually look forward to Mondays until I put up my first scene in his class”
-Grace Savage

“It is rare to find people you trust in the world. Especially true in the acting world. I am so very grateful to have Karl in my world. The first time I met Karl was as an actor on stage. I was immediately overwhelmed and inspired by his talent, sensitivity, intelligence, simplicity, brutal honesty, and fine tuned craft. As a teacher, he is all those things as well as lovingly patient. He is a gift.
