The InStone training method is "tools and techniques oriented." The concepts are built in the tools not separate from them. The coaching is clear, fun, supportive and organic. The coaches do not make empty promises of stardom but rather aim at building the actor's confidence through a thorough understanding of acting as a "doable and tangible" craft. The result is strong, confident, independent and free spirited artists in charge of their craft.

Film, television and commercial acting are all covered in depth. Nora Stone's strong commitment is to provide top quality, affordable and professional training that "makes sense and works" in order to facilitate the actor's purpose and goals and sends him or her on the way to a successful career. The method is focused entirely on training the individual not delivering a general system to a group. It is the strength and competitive edge of this training. By aiming straight at the individual, it becomes easier to understand the actor's specific needs, talents and possible problem areas.

Classes are purposely kept small to allow the actors maximum time on stage to maximize coaching opportunities. Classes are a complete training for the individual intent on seriously learning the craft and seeking a career in film and television. Classes include relaxation, listening and communication skills, technique, self-expression, cold reading, scene study, improvisation skills, film and television acting, monologue work and character development.
