Looking for Beginner Acting Classes?
For over 20 years, ActorClass has been a passionate and growth-oriented place for all kinds of actors, especially for those just starting out. We're here to help you get better at acting without the fluff. We don't use confusing language or unnecessary techniques that other studios require. Instead, we provide practical tools and clear answers that empower our students to excel in film, television, and theater.
It doesn't matter if you're totally new to acting, we'll start at your level and help you improve from there. Our Monday classes are great for anyone new to the studio. Once we see you work and can discern what type of molding you need, we’ll advise you to enroll in a certain class or number of classes.
Every actor faces their own unique challenges, and our mission is to help students identify and smooth out those rough edges while boosting their confidence, subtlety, and creative prowess.
There is one thing… we want to clarify the distinction between those who are eager to embark on a transformative journey towards becoming a professional actor, and those seeking a casual, superficial experience. We're truly enthusiastic about working with individuals who are committed to their own creative growth as long as they come in with the common understanding that acting is an art form that requires time, energy and effort. Our studio isn't the right fit for those looking for quick fixes or a social gathering with party games. Although acting should always be fun… we aren’t conducting playtime. We are training, developing and molding hopeful actors into serious artists. If you aren’t fully committed, please look elsewhere.
What sets us apart is our unwavering focus on material from feature films, cutting-edge plays, and timeless classics that demand the utmost focus and dedication. Will you have a blast along the way? Absolutely! Can you start as a beginner? Of course! But the fun we promise is reserved for our dedicated students who roll up their sleeves, work tirelessly, and hold themselves to the highest standard of excellence.
