If its on their website than it is most likely not a scam.
no, it is just horribly expensive for what you get. NYFA is known as a ‘school’ that is just interested in your money.
It’s not a scam! I went to the one week acting camp and I loved it so much that I came back for a longer program the next summer.
From all of the things I heard TheatreDoc is correct. They are way too expensive and although it is not a scam like JRP is, I wouldn’t recommend training there. I think that (if you have the money) a one week a course would be fine, but I wouldn’t sign up for the 2 year program.
Not a scam, but NYFA SUCKS for acting. It’s probably a good film school, but NOT the best acting school.
Agents and Casting Directors in LA and NY are NOT too fond of NYFA.

Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren’t fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner oriented. Try to audit these places and make sure if they’re for you or not.
