Specializing in training young actors and actresses, the Young Actors Studio makes the list of best acting studios in Dallas due to its impressive list of child stars. The Young Actors Studio is a non-profit organization that allows instructors to focus on the development of the actors and actresses and ensure that they are prepared for the demands of the field. Children gain experience in front of green screens and with monologues, and there is even a program for teen producers for those who prefer to be behind the camera. One of the biggest names to come out of the Young Actors Studio recently is Noah Ringer, who starred as lead character Aang in M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
