Best acting classes and acting coaches in LA area???

I would love to hear all of your opinions on #1Who are some of your favorite/best acting coaches in the business and #2 Where to find the best acting classes/acting schools. I feel that everyone can always improve no matter how much training they have had. That is what this life is all about right? Live hungry!! LOVE and LIGHT to you all!!

Tristen MacDonald

What area of town are you in? I have taken class at MANY places and have my favorites for different reasons. But I can suggest a favorite that's closer to you and not all the way across town. What kind of class are you hoping for? Scene Study, on camera, audition technique, etc.?

Karen Spanjer

Thanks for the tip Tiya!

Heather McMullin

Thank you so much!! I will look up both of those suggestions. I think word of mouth is way better than trying to find one on my own!!

Showreel Advice?

Hi Guys, I'm after putting my first showreel together but I've only got two short films and one self-taped monologue to include. My thinking is that I should do more films to get some more material before I create one, but can anyone let me know if it's worth creating one with what I've got so I at least have a showreel? Thanks, Ciara

Tristen MacDonald

Yes, create it now. Don't get it done by a big expensive company as you will hopefully be adding to it soon. See if you can learn to edit it together by learning through youtube, or having a friend do...

As someone who works on low budget films and has occasionally been involved in casting, I'd say create what you can now but look for ways to be able to revise, add or remove material, as easily as you...

Best CD Workshops in L.A.?

I'm visiting Los Angeles in early March for a week or two and want to fit in at least one or two Casting Director Workshops. Any recommendations? What are the best resources for locating workshops and classes? Thanks! Hope everyone who stumbles across this post is having a marvelous day! :)

Katie Keenan

Thank you for the great tip and question! I will be in LA starting in March as well :)

Justen Overlander

Good luck, Katie! Is it a permanent trip or a scouting trip?

Katie Keenan

Thanks! I'll be scouting for jobs and a place to live and so I'm looking to make it a permanent trip.

I think you've done and excellent job here! This is light years better than most reels I've seen. If I had it my way, I would trim down the crying scene where you're tied to a chair. I would start it...
