At the studio we believe that actors need a consistent platform upon which to play and challenge themselves to be the best they can be. The pressures of building a successful career as a performer in Los Angeles can be daunting as an individual’s focus can easily shift towards booking the next job instead of improving one’s craft. Yes, networking and business skills are important, but in the end it’s what one brings into a room, that unique stamp on a role, that ultimately books great jobs. Our primary goal is to reignite our students’ love for acting through personal growth in a supportive community of talented people. Jobs and acting career successes often are the result of an excitement and love for what one does. Below is a list of classes that we offer at this time. We look forward to working with you.
