"In David's Los Angeles acting classes I was immediately struck by how preceptive the
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"

Our Los Angeles Acting Teachers:
30 years experience teaching you the real world skills you need to get work and keep on working. David teaches in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Toronto, Montreal, Tel Aviv, Boston, and Philadelphia. Our acting teachers are working actors in film and television in Los Angeles, with conservatory training from the best and oldest established schools in the United States. They have been trained in a wide variety of acting classes and techniques including Meisner, Stanislavsky, Michael Checkov, Viola Spolins Theater Games, Improvisation, and Scene Study. They know what it really takes to get acting work because they have all supported themselves as actors - and they are supportive. They teach you by building you up in our acting classes, not tearing you down. more about our acting teachers |
What We Do In Our Acting Classes in Los Angeles :
All our classes are on-camera and our acting students use their filmed scenes to get agents and managers. We also 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 Los Angeles acting classes give you the real-world approach to professional acting in Hollywood (without phony hype or slick gimmicks) that gives you the on-camera acting, audition 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.
You learn how to perform a scene by expressing your instinctive emotional responses to everything that's going in the scene. more about our acting classes
