San Francisco acting school

Now Enrolling for Summer Quarter 2008

Method Acting for film and theater.

The Shelton Studios is nationally recognized as one of the finest professional film and theatre schools for actors and directors. The studio is recommended by agents, casting offices, directors, and filmmakers as one of the leading schools in the country.

Founders Robert Elross and Jean Shelton brought with them from New York an extensive knowledge of method acting for film and theater. Past faculty included: legendary Stella Adler (teacher of Brando, De Niro), Harold Clurman (finest mind in the American Theater), Jack Garfien (Filmmaker and Head of Actors Studio Los Angeles), Wendell Phillips (Broadway Actor/Director/Teacher and member of the legendary Group Theatre and teacher for the Actors Studio in New York), Robert Elross (New York Actor/Director considered one of the finest actors in the country) and Jean Shelton has been a talent consultant for major agencies and television networks, and an acting coach for feature films and television. Executive Director Matthew Shelton has assembled the finest staff available and thoroughly trained them to teach her Acting Technique and Multi- disciplinary programs using the techniques from some of the best minds in the country.

Students at the Shelton Studios gain much more than the all-to-common experience of acting in front of other students; they gain the art and craft of acting which lasts for life and applies to all mediums, they gain the love of acting as an art form and they gain the inspiration to dedicate themselves to working professionally as actor/artists. Our history is unparalled in the caliber of our teachers and our students have joined the ranks of some of the finest actors in America.

Shelton Studios Students have won Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, Tony Awards, Obie Awards and countless local awards. Jean Shelton is a recipient of the Bay Area Critics Circle, Payne Knickerbocker Lifetime Achievement Award.

We develop independent actors which possess a strong imagination, a keen intellect, an open heart and a rich humanity.
