The Howey Acting Studio is an adventure into storytelling.
That adventure begins with you.

Hello Arizona Actors!
We are Carla and Bill Howey. We are acting coaches/ teachers. The first of August 2016 we moved from Los Angeles, California to our new home in Chandler, Arizona. Our move to Arizona was motivated by our decision to slow down the intensity of our work schedule from what it’s been for over 30 years in LA and Denver. However, we never want to stop working with actors. From actors just starting out to actors starring on TV or movies we have experienced it all.
We wrote and published a book, The Actors Menu; wrote, directed and produced three movies and helped many actors work toward their goals. Along the way, we developed our effective actor-focused style of teaching and coaching. We’re loving Phoenix and look forward to meeting and working with the actors here.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Bill Howey, passed away from Dementia on August 31, 2021.

Our focus is guiding you to present the most convincing character story. It’s important to tell the story that comes from you, not how someone else would tell that story. You have the desire for the acting adventure and at our studio you will discover how to turn that desire into strong character stories.
If you’re an actor and you actually want to make a living at it, all you need is Bill Howey. Since beginning our private coaching sessions, I’ve booked roles that are shaping my career. He forces me to get personal, explore different ways of doing a scene, and brings depth and insight I couldn’t find with other coaches.
I have been a working actor since 1999. The only reason for this is because of privates and acting class with Bill Howey and Carla Howey. As an actor it’s…
I came to Bill Howey after I kept hearing him recommended by working actors. Now that I have taken his class, I understand why. Bill has pushed and challenged me…
