coaching one badass actor at a time.
acting classes in los angeles, california
book work and keep the work you book
The actor must be able to dig deep inside of themselves to produce results quickly. The director, even the most actor friendly one, does not have time to hand hold. They are trusting the actor to do the job they were booked to do.
There is a famous joke that goes, “How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”
The answer: practice.
So, how do you practice?
You practice with direction. A consistent, steady pace with your goal in mind. You surround yourself in a class with like-minded people. Some move slower than others, but the goal is always the same: to be a daring, bold actor that is ready to take on any role set in front of them. You practice in a setting that not only challenges you with foundation work, but alongside those that are consistently layering upon that. You do it together. One class. No levels. Together. There is always something to learn… not only from doing but from observing.
Too often, advanced actors forget basic foundation work never ends. On the same note, beginning actors tend to stay comfortable for long periods of time in foundation classes. They fall into the trap of needing to be “The Star” of their class. Becoming addicted to the validation, they are either afraid to make the jump into a more advanced class or waiting for the approval of their coach.
The goal of our classes isn’t to make you a “star” — it’s to get you booking roles and keep booking, no matter where you are.
bold, powerful, and intimate work. moment to moment.
