My daughter Madison has been coming here for her acting classes and she loves it!!!!! Her classes are always fun and help her grow and hone her skills in acting. Ms Mae and all the staff are very positive and engaging. I also started going to the classes and it not only helps with acting but also helps build confidence in public speaking and being more outgoing. Highly recommended! They also have a showcase program where they help you start build your acting career. Our teachers are patient and they are motivating and inspiring! Thank you Ms Mae, Alejandra, Guy, Frankie and Jaden @ 321 acting studios! You all rock!!!! Extra info: There are plenty of parking, they keep the place clean, their bathroom is also kept clean! read more

3-2-1 is hands down the best acting school ive attended! I take comedy and commercials class on thursday nights, and Connie is sweet, encouraging, and gives you great feedback. Every scene is recorded, so you watch and record yourself at the end of the class when they show all the scenes from that day, which is super helpful. I'm updating my reel with the scenes from the classes, and I feel much more confident on my acting abilities. Thank you, Connie!! read more

It was our first experience with this Studio. Excellent place, very friendly stuff and classes.

I am beyond grateful for finding 321 Acting. I have wanted to take acting classes for years and finally got the courage to do it. This place has brought me out of my shell and showed me what I'm capable of.. And it's fun ! I highly , highly recommend this place read more

Both of my daughters attend 3-2-1 Acting. We've been there since before Ms. Amanda took over the studio and both of our daughters love all the teachers and staff who work there. They have given the girls individualized attention, coaching and invaluable mentorship that I know will benefit them far beyond whatever acting they decide/don't decide to pursue. 3-2-1 Acting has helped build their confidence and identities in a way that I'm incredibly grateful for. read more

My daughter has been going to 321 Acting Studios since 2022 and LOVES it!!! The entire staff, coaches and owners are all knowledgeable, professional and amazing! The facility is clean, safe and equipped with all the items you need to learn everything and anything regarding acting. This program has not only given my daughter the ability to articulate what she needs, wants and feels, but it has also given her a tremendous amount of confidence. I highly recommend this program to any/all who is interested in acting, public speaking, building confidence or simply finding new friends! Everyone who works and attends 321 is outstanding! read more

This review is not for their acting classes. Even though our child ended up deciding not to go back, it might still be a great acting class to other kids. This 2 star review is to make you all aware of their giving one additional free class (on top of the first free class) to whoever posts 5 star reviews. Is it treating or not, it is your call. I just feel very unease after I saw that sign in their restroom. Because many 5 star reviews were the reason we drove all the way 50' in traffic to try the class. Also, at the end of the first free trial class, they have people who work there being a car saleman trying to get you to buy their package on the spot because "this discount only applies if you buy it today". read more

The teachers and staff are very helpful and knowledgeable for all you need in strengthening your skills to become a confident actor/actress.

My daughter has gone through the tv1 and showcase programs. She is learning so much and loves it here. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

I am not one to normally write reviews but 3-2-1 Acting studios deserves every praise! I signed my 8 year old daughter up for a trial class not even really sure it would be a good fit. She was shy, and very timid around strangers but I was trying to find an activity that would be good for her since sports were not her thing. After 1 class my daughter had a huge smile on her face and couldn't wait to come back. The staff were are extremely welcoming and special. Ms. Mae is just incredible and always makes each of the kids feel special and takes time to get to know them. My favorite part is how Ms. Mae not only teaches them acting skills but life skills as well. My daughter was chosen for their showcase class and it has been such an amazing experience for her and for me to watch her blossom and her confidence grow! I was a bit concerned when the safer at home order was put in place since I wasn't sure how it would work, but 3-2-1 made the transition extremely easy and my daughter looks forward to her zoom classes twice a week! The classes have been wonderful. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an activity for their kid! read more

I sincerely can't say enough good things about this studio. Every single person who works there has the kindest approach to their students and their parents. My son got invited to join the Showcase Class. With their unwavering guidance they helped my son find an agent. They always showed up and answered any of my questions and gave the best advice. You definitely will be very happy once you join the 321 Acting family. They know what their doing and I'm so so happy we found them. :) read more

Best acting studio for teens. I took classes with Mae Ross back in the days when she taught at John Robert Powers in Glendale CA

Ms. Mae is the best acting teacher and industry inside expert! She is very nice, friendly, patient and knowledgeable! She discovers children's talents and polishes them ready to shine. Her staffs are industry professionals or have acting experiences. They are friendly and helpful to kids and parents. 3 2 1 Acting Studies is the best Acting School in LA! read more

My daughter had a wonderful experience at 3-2-1 several years ago and now I am back with my son! He loves the kids in his classes, the instructors are knowledgeable and provide great guidance towards getting an agent and how to audition, and my son looks forward to going back each week. But, most importantly, they encourage the kids to have confidence and fun while they grow their skills. Not to mention, some great talent comes out of this acting school! read more

(Re-writing my review because somehow my first one got deleted)LOVE 321 acting studios I took their live online zoom classes at the beginning of the pandemic to have some fun from the initial phone call with the admissions director Alejandra to my first class I felt welcomed and like part of the 3-2-1 family Janis is a fantastic teacher with a passion to teach Ms.Mae is the kindest soul and an amazing talent her expertise is unparalleled she is truly the one to go to for all things acting her studio does an acting career program which I was accepted into but sadly couldn't do it do to health issues. The program culminates in a showcase day where numerous talent agents come to watch you perform 3-2-1 Acting studios is TRULY the best in the business I will DEFINITELY be buying more classes now that I'm out of school for the summer read more

My son absolutely loves this place and their wonderful staff! Not only does the owner and her staff make it extremely fun and enjoyable for the kids, their acting technique's and requirements have motivated my son to do better in school! My 11-year-old son had difficulties with reading comprehension until he was enrolled here! Because the acting students are expected to read and memorize their lines in his age group, it has given my son a completely new motivation and purpose for doing well in school, particularly reading! He begs to go every week and in my opinion, this is money well spent for a program that has given him a purpose and motivated him to be a better student! read more

I've had the chance to take several classes here and have thoroughly enjoyed it!! Guy is so incredibly passionate about acting and bringing out the best in the actors for every scene, large or small. I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot, and the whole team is super nice! Felt really comfortable as soon as I walked in. read more

321 Acting Studios has been an incredible blessing for my 11-year-old daughter. She enrolled in online classes during the pandemic and was accepted to showcase a few months later. Showcase was a fantastic experience and the Program was so well-organized and exceeded any and all of my expectations. I can't say enough about the incredible team at 321 that created such a special and unique experience. My daughter signed with an agency a few days after showcase and she is looking forward to the next chapter in her life. We will continue classes at 321 to keep her acting skills in tip-top shape. Thank you to the 321 crew- you are all amazing! read more

We started at 321 Acting Studios several months ago. My daughter absolutely loves acting and she loves 321 Acting Studio. The staff is very helpful and attentive to whatever questions or needs you have. My daughter just completed the Showcase Acting Career Program where she performed in front of 9 talent agents. Within a week, I have received calls from several agents requesting a meeting with my daughter to discuss signing with them. The acting coaches are great! We love Hunter, Ron, Mae, and Francis. Aidan who coordinates the Showcase Program is great and super helpful and responsive to all of our questions. thank you 321 Acting Studio!! read more

I cannot say enough great things about 321, it's staff, and the friendly atmosphere they provide our kids. Our son recently finished the Showcase Acting Career Program, was contacted by 5 agents, signed with an agent, and already has landed an acting gig (is that what you call it? I have no idea)!! Anyway, Ms. Mae and the entire staff obviously care deeply about the kids, not as actors, but as human beings. It shows in everything they do. I cannot recommend 3-2-1 highly enough!! read more

My 5 year has been taking classes here and she loves it! She looks forward to it each week. The teachers make it fun and help the kids to feel comfortable and confident. Highly recommended! read more

My son loves attending classes at 3-2-1. He's always really excited to spend his Saturdays there even though it's a bit of a drive. Everyone is so nice, and he really enjoys working with his teacher Ron. In addition, my son just completed the Agent Showcase program. Miss Mae and Amanda were always very encouraging and helpful. My son ended up getting multiple agent meetings and was offered representation. read more

3-2-1 Acting Studios is truly home. I have never stepped inside of a more peaceful, professional, classy and unbelievable environment in my entire life. I truly recommend 3-2-1 Acting Studios. If one really wants to know how to get into acting and learn absolutely everything that there is to know about how one should act, searching for agents, learning how to handle multiple scripts and making them your own, come to 3-2-1. Working with Cheryl Texiera, Ron Morehouse, Guy Nardulli, Ms. Mae and Aidan Rees has truly been a dream and I am beyond grateful for all they have taught me. read more

I love this place! We just recently tried this place out for my daughter and she was hooked from the start! The staff here is super welcoming and very helpful with all their industry tips. It was so hard to not sign up right there and then because once you see how they work with your child you are convinced that only good things will come out of this experience. So we signed up and will update this review as time goes! read more

Our daughter loved the classes- especially the teachers!! She adored her teachers and had a blast! She found an agent after her showcase with MULTIPLE calls! Would highly recommend! read more

After searching the area for an Acting School, we choose 3-2-1 for several reasons. Others commented positively; their program is comprehensive and inclusive. The staff was VERY HELPFUL in answering questions, giving advice and being supportive.The owner is very hands on and deeply involved in all aspects of her business. It looked good from the outside, and has proven it's value after we joined. If you're in the market for a a great experience, your search can stop here. Choosing 3-2-1 has worked out well for us and so may others! read more

We drive from San Clemente to La Crescenta almost every Saturday for Katherine to attend class at 3-2-1 Acting Studios. She has learned a great deal and is committed to her craft. She just completed the showcase and we're anxiously waiting to hear. We know she's in good hands and we look forward to continuing with 3-2-1 Acting Studios. read more

My daughter's agent recommended my daughter take classes here. It's a bit far of a drive for us, but if the agent recommends it, we will take it. We came in not knowing what to expect. Jared took us in and walked us through the entire process. He was so lovely, welcoming, and patient. When I say patient, I mean patient with thousands of questions. We signed up for 12 more classes, and we are excited for my daughter to learn how to think on her feet. I recommend it this place to learn about the industry, the vocabulary, and explore options. read more

My little boy started at 321 the end of January just after turning 4 years old. He absolutely loved the classes. He was quickly accepted into the showcase program and just completed it a couple weeks ago. Within a couple days after the agent showcase, he received 3 separate offers, all from great agencies. He has now signed with one of the top agencies in LA and we couldn't have ask for it to work out any better. We love his new agent. Ms. Mae is so involved in making sure each kid has the best chance of success. They never pushed too hard or made it seem like anything but fun. My son has attended both Saturday classes and the Wednesday evening class, and all the teachers were so wonderful. I'm just sad I can only give this place 5 stars. We have a new home and family at 321. Thanks Ms. Mae and all your wonderful staff. read more

Are you looking for a great acting school for your children? Look no further, 3-2-1 Acting Studio is your answer! Ms. Mae has done a great job in building this company to be one of the go-to studios for top talent agents in the industry. She and her staff are very friendly that makes you feel like your a part of the family right in the beginning. They will guide you through out the process of starting to act to making acting your child's career. My son started attending their classes for the purpose of gaining experience and building his confidence in front of the camera. It was not always smooth. In his first few classes, we could tell that he needs a lot of work. As time went by and with the help and guidance of their amazing teachers, my son became comfortable and improved... a lot! My son would always look forward to going to his classes, meet his friends, and learn new techniques to improve his craft! After his Showcase, where the kids would perform their assigned scripts in front of the top talent agents, my son received multiple callbacks from the agents! We were very excited! My wife and I are very happy that we found this place! From no experience to being contacted by talent agents! Ms. Mae and her staff have done a great job in supporting, guiding, and training my 10 year old son to be successful to start his acting career. My child's improvement is a testimony to other parents who want their kids to be successful in their acting career! Thank you Ms. Mae and company! read more

At first I was shy to try out an acting studio because I've never had any acting experience in my life. I decided to take a leap of faith and try out 3-2-1 Acting Studios and I don't regret it at all. Ms. Mae and all her staff are so welcoming and care about their students. I had a great time during the trial class that I signed up right away so I can get my acting career started. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and safe acting studio this is the place! read more

Update! So I can gush and gush some more! A year and a half later and Mae and her team are still such an important influence in my daughters career!!! My daughter has landed some big auditions as well as big opportunities (most recently a national print and motion campaign with a very well know tween company!) and we of course have so many to thank, but esp 321, cuz that's where it all started!!!! read more

One of the best acting classes in LA for sure. They created a community that makes you feel like home and free to experience, which is really important for an actor. I can't wait to go there every week for my class. Guy is just the best acting coach ever, really love working with him and I can feel how much I improved. Definitely recommend read more

I've been taking online zoom classes through 3-2-1 for about 2 years now. I started during peak COVID time, so it was a great way to train while stuck at home and a great way to connect with the industry in LA while living in the Midwest. Since then, I've done the Acting Career Showcase Program with Ms. Mae and landed an agent in LA! Not only that, but all the teachers at 3-2-1 are super responsive to any emails/audition questions I throw their way. Overall, an excellent studio, amazing staff, & a great community! read more

I live in Hollywood, and there are tons of acting schools around here. However, I drive my son all the way to La Crescenta to attend 3-2-1 Acting Studios because they're worth the effort. I'm not just referring to the quality of their instruction and instructors (they have a wall full of their students' photos who've landed acting jobs), but their staff is exemplary as well. For example, my son had an online audition (due to the current pandemic), and 3-2-1's staff helped me with video feedback and suggestions on how to set up the camera angles and lighting to spiff up the scene--without even charging me! They helped simply because they could. You can't beat that! And now, with their online classes, we don't have to drive anywhere to take advantage of their superb services. Thx 3-2-1! read more

At first I was very hesitant about taking an acting class, but after my first conversation with Alejandra I knew I found the right place. 321 is filled with extremely supportive staff and instructors that walk you through each step of the learning process, which means the world when you are doing something as vulnerable as acting. I always looked forward to my classes each Tuesday and Thursday. Each instructor I had went above and beyond to help me, along with offering constructive criticisms that not only made me a better actor but also helped me book acting jobs. On top of all these great things, they also offer the one of a kind showcase program that both prepares you for the business side of acting as well as gives you the opportunity to look your best and perform in front of agents. It was through this program that I met and signed with my agent who I am very happy with. Long story short if you're looking for a acting studio in LA look no further. Thank you so much to everyone whose apart of 321! read more

We absolutely love 321 Acting! Ms. Mae, Holly, Alejandra, Ron, and her entire staff are amazing! Classes are taught by working actors like Hunter Steibel, and Bill Chott, just to name a few. Last week my daughter, was lucky enough to perform in front of 6 top talent agents at 321's Showcase. She has already received three call backs! We would like to thank Ms. Mae, Holly, and the whole staff for properly preparing us for Showcase and handling all the details, like head shots, resumes, and demo reels! What are you waiting for!? Go online or call to reserve your FREE trial class today! read more

3-2-1 is much more than an acting studio that launches kids and young adults acting careers. Sure, Ms. Mae doesn't stop working with the showcase students until they get an agent, and their classes prepare the students to work in the industry and book jobs. (That's why so many of the kids are booking a job each week.) But 3-2-1 prepares it's students for so much more. Not only is there a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere at the studio, but the teachers and Ms. Mae place a high focus on helping kids learn to work with one another, be polite, take direction, and have fun. The kids and teens I've had classes with at the studio are not only confident but kind and considerate. What do you know, well behaved kids book acting jobs! 3-2-1 just has such a positive environment. It's a school every child should go to because it teaches important life skills and helps kids academically. (Because reading, memorizing, and public speaking are essential to each class, the students improve these skills and learn how important reading really is.) As a young adult at the studio, I have also had a phenomenal experience. I have taken/am taking the following classes: * TV1 Commercial and Television Hosting: I learned how to break down a commercial to book a job, how to talk to the camera, commercial techniques, how to audition for a commercial, how to slate, and how to bring my personality and energy to a commercial audition. The teacher--Will Doughty from the Tonight Show with Jay Leno--has booked a lot of national commercials and knows what he is talking about. I can see during the playback after each class how much I am improving. * TV2 Television and Film Scene Study: I learned how to break down a scene, prepare myself before a scene, how to deliver a cold reading, the ins and outs of auditioning for television work, techniques to further develop my performance, and how to really connect with my scene partner. I have improved so much since I started at this studio. It feels good! * Acting Foundations and Monologues: In this class, I learned so much about preparing for a monologue, how to deliver a monologue, and how to really connect with my work. * Improv Comedy: This class was really fun, and it really helped me to improve in my acting. I learned to think on my feet, expect the unexpected, stay in the moment, and be funny. So essential for good acting! And did I mention, it was so fun? * Showcase Class: I'm in this class right now. So far, I have learned all about acting careers, how to get started, posing for head shots, how to write an acting resume and cover letter, audition techniques, how to meet with an agent... everything I need to know to get started. I am showcasing this month in front of a bunch of great agencies, and I'm really excited to work in the industry and use what I've learned at 3-2-1! Especially because it works! This is a great school, and you won't be disappointed. Plus, your first class is a free trial class. So just go and see if you like it as much as I did! read more
