What People Are Saying About
I Don’t Need an Acting Class
“One of the top acting podcasts.”
“In his book Milton uses correspondences to not only teach a masterclass on acting but also to convey the personal struggles and journey the actor takes to understanding. He covers the lost territory of Stella Adler’s and Stanislavsky’s work to lift acting to high artistry through the use of the imagination and blood memory. Everywhere you see the wisdom of Milton’s lifetime work… to understand acting for himself and his students. There is a good deal to get from this endeavor. It’s practical and relatable.”
“Milton’s book isn’t just filled with incredibly useful technical guidance for performers, you can feel his larger than life personality in every page. He has distilled a lifetime of knowledge and experience working and training with actors into a tool that can be used and applied and lived with as we navigate our never-ending quest to be better.”

He offers his readers a pragmatic philosophy, forged in his long relationship with Stella Adler and tempered with his avid curiosity for new information on Stanislavsky and the elusive art of acting. Filled with wise words, useful advice, inspiration, and humor, Justice’s book is a must-read.”

PRAISE
FROM PODCAST LISTENERS
“I really had no idea where I was headed as an actress. Totally lost, no purpose to my acting, just saying lines on a page and hoping it sounded good. Milton is incredible. He changed my acting for the better and myself as a human being. After all, the growth between those two is synonymous, as Stella Adler said. I’m looking forward to Milton‘s book! Can’t thank him enough for encouraging and enlightening actors like me to hone their talent and grow in the craft of acting. You won’t want to miss this podcast!

“This series is a gold mine. In a few minutes of deceptively casual reflections, Milton will suddenly connect to dots or turn a thought sideways to reveal a “doable” pathway through the thicket.”
-Hard to Pigeonhole
“I am a beginning actor late in life. Milton speaks to the things I am going through and struggling with. This podcast is incredibly helpful and taught in a way you can absorb it and dwell on what Milton says.”
-SR Actor
“It doesn’t matter if you are new, or experienced; if you have a career or not. Milton Justice’s podcast “I Don’t Need an Acting Class“ is going to challenge your ideas about what it means to be an actor. His lessons on talking out your actor work have been a revelation for me, and he’s challenging me on what I thought I knew in regard to my actor/script relationship! Spend some time meditating on these lessons. You won’t be disappointed. As of this writing, I’m already on my fifth time listening through each episode! Also the producer of the show, Walker Vreeland,is absolutely amazing! Many thanks to Walker for convincing Milton to make this podcast and share his wisdom for the benefit of actors everywhere.♥️”

“Professor Milton is the Cus D’Amato of acting. His experience and expertise expands over 40 years. He teaches your script analysis, character analysis, big ideas, he gives you a bullet proof technique and solid foundation to make you a solid actor...what acting should be. The creative process of an actor needs to be based on a scientific system that is universal. Milton Justice has created that.”
-Karim
“Milton does a great job cutting to the chase in the short and sweet series. He is clearly speaking from years of study and experience as his lessons always include real life examples and remain grounded. This is a must listen for any aspiring or professional actor. Charming voice and great sound quality! I can hardly wait until the book comes out.”
-Erica Poole
“I stumbled upon this podcast during quarantine and it’s been a great source of inspiration. Everything Milton discusses is truly about the art of acting. Many of us can’t be in class right now but it doesn’t mean we have to stop exploring and working on our craft and artistic process.”
-NYC Res
“Fun, grounded and easy to comprehend. His discussion about choices helped me identify one of my bad acting habits. He’s pretty honest and cracks me up when he calls stuff out.”
-Juzdn Andy
“Insightful, entertaining and thought-provoking. Milton is a man of pure genius. What makes him different from the rest is his ability to get to the core of what being an actor is about. It’s not about lines, tricks, quick tips etc. This podcast is about saving The American Theater.”
-John Yvan
“Milton‘s lectures are as inspiring and entertaining as they are informative! I’m so grateful to have found this podcast.”
-Alyson Gorske
“I am a professional actor. I have long been inspired by podcasts covering the craft of songwriting and music production, but have never found an acting podcast that focuses on the CRAFT of acting. So many are centered around actors and stories about how they came to be discovered or how they built their careers. I wanted something I could listen to on my way to work that would inspire me to look deeper, try harder, and be better. We’re only a few episodes in but I think I found it! Keep up the good work Milton and keep on inspiring us! And thank you!
