I’ve worked with him for four years. He’s passionate about what he does, and it makes us passionate.  We’re a family. ZBS is a community…a second home

Whenever I get a script I always ask myself, WWZD—What would Zak Do?

During the camera tests and throughout rehearsals and filming on my Netflix series, “Julie and the Phantoms”, Zak’s work with our young actors provided them with the tools that enabled them to accomplish outstanding work.  If I didn’t know better, I’d swear he was a magician

Zak speaks the language of the soul and is able to stir his actors on the deepest levels of artistic and personal transformation.

His connection to his students is unlike anything I’ve seen…the work is incredibly brave

Zak Barnett taught me to love my craft.  Before I came to the studio I loved acting and I knew it was all I wanted to do, but I didn’t know why.  I found myself in a place where I was giving good auditions, but I wasn’t feeling fulfilled.  Going through his classes allowed me to find my own wants and meld them into one.  I learned to love the art of acting and find joy in making something special, something only I could create.

He’s made a lot of impact and a lot of change… I cannot recommend him enough!
