What We Do In Our Los Angeles Acting Classes:
All our Los Angeles acting classes are on-camera and our acting students use their filmed scenes to get agents and managers. You work a minimum of 30 minutes in every class! We work with students of all ages and have the smallest number of students of any acting school in Los Angeles,
so that we can give each student personal attention with lots of time
to act in every class. Our acting classes give you the
real-world approach to professional acting in Hollywood (without phony hype or slick gimmicks) giving you the on-camera acting, audition. scene study, and cold reading
skills you need to effectively compete to get work. (Take a look at our Acting Jobs Bragboard to see actors just like you, getting work all the time!) In our acting classes you always act from
film and TV scripts. And we use the principles from Sandford Meisner's
book ON ACTING as teaching tools while drawing from the best of all the
great acting teaching methods including Stanislavky, The Actors Studio,
The Group Theater, Scene Study and Improvisation.
Your talent to be a fine actor comes from your instincts. In our classes you will learn how to
be emotionally free and completely spontaneous when you perform a scene, enabling you to express your instinctive emotional responses to
everything that's going in the scene. Learn more about what we teach by clicking on the link to David's blog below. more about our acting classes...

teachers are and how quickly I was able to move through blocks in my
acting that had been there for years. They got me "out of my own
way". I have had more "epiphanies" from these guys than anyone else"
