I have been to multiple acting coaches over the years and I can easily say Jarod Scott makes them…read moreall look like your dreaded 6th grade substitute teacher. Jarod provides so much more insight, depth, and character in approaching an acting role than anyone I have ever met. He knows how to push an actor just far enough to get amazing results but not so far that it is uncomfortable or scary. I can't say enough good things about him or his workshop.... Maybe I'll leave him something in my will. Oh and not to mention his rates!!!! You will not find a better rate in town. Believe me I've looked. So instead of going to a mediocre acting coach who is looking to line his pocket with your beautiful cash go to Jarod! You will thank me and just maybe you can leave me in your will. You're welcome

Jarod Scott Is a tremendously talented skilled actor that has a way of breaking down the…read morecomplexities and nuisances of different acting skills into relatable and easy to understand lessons. He can teach any age group and at any level of experience. That alone would be enough to recommend him, but he does so much more. He takes the time to understand each students goals and council them specifically to the direction they want to go. Including college selections, guilds, how to make portfolios, utilize social media , what directors are looking for , how to carry yourself in tryouts etc. He works with them to prepare them for specific roles they are trying out for. Then he takes it a step further and helps your student understand how to handle adversity which they will face and most importantly how to believe in themselves!! That alone is priceless, but with Jarod it comes from a place of genuineness. You know this because even in his extremely busy schedule and having a family of his own he takes the time to show up to as many of his students performances as a possible. The last thing that I will say is that if above isn't enough to select Jarod Scott's Acting classes,you will know you made the correct decision to choose him when you see him either perform OR at any performance. Almost ever student on stage that you felt had skills will approach him after as they are current / former students. I always say, you judge any teacher or leader by their "coaching tree" they create. Well Jarod has created Yggdrasil here in the Santa Clarita Valley.

I am beyond grateful for finding the Anthony Gilardi Acting Studio and to call this community my…read morehome. Even on days where I'm tired or just not feeling great, the second I get to the studio where I'm welcomed with positive energy and thoughtfulness, I immediately feel better and know I am right where I belong. AGAS is a safe space for learning and growing as an actor, a place where you can challenge yourself and play, but also a community where you can make friends and feel a sense of camaraderie with your fellow actors. The opportunities this studio provides are beyond any other offerings of other studios. For example the additional emphasis of learning the business of acting and how to behave and what to actually expect on set is something that was almost never talked about at other studios I've been to, but it is what has helped me to start to exceed in my career. Also the seamless use of technology to further your learning. Being able to watch the class recordings afterwards has helped me to hone my craft. Additionally, being able to join online when I'm traveling has allowed me to visit my family and not miss a beat in class. I could keep going but if you've read this far, then you just need to come see it for yourself!

I have been attending ALW Acting Studios for about 4 months. It is INTENSE. Adam will CHALLENGE you…read moreto develop your TALENT. In the past couple years I have become a working actress and I go on a good amount of auditions. I had an AUDITION yesterday for something I couldn't wrap my head around. I applied what I've learned in Adam's class. Here's the feedback I got: "Wow you are the only girl to NAIL IT in the rehearsal!" " Do you do a lot of theater, because it seemed like you were really seeing everything?" I wanted to say yeah I do theater 4 hours a week at ALW Acting Studios. It's very rewarding to see such immediate results from putting in the WORK. My number one goal is to BOOK JOBS and further my career, which I believe Adam's class will help me with. But! I also love being re-inspired as an actor and realizing there is so much more to LEARN! The class is inexpensive and ADAM gives all of himself and his experience as he coaches you to FIND YOUR GREATNESS! http://www.imdb.me/gabrielleconforti

Adam knows his stuff. He's a teacher, he's a coach & he' a mentor. Thanks ADAM!read more

At this studio you get an acting coach that truly wants to see his students win. Brandon will always push and support you beyond the acting class. I've been able to learn different techniques and approaches to character breakdowns and scene work. I also love the fact that each class is its own and never feels redundant because you're always learn something new! Another bonus is getting to hear from people in different corners of the industry. For example: makeup artist, stunt coordinators, directors, etc.

I used to live on Poinsettia right across from rock 'n' roll Ralphs on Sunset...the Vincent Chase…read moreworkshop was literally right next-door. I studied with Vincent Chase for over six years. The things that I've learned from Vincent Chase stay with me he was a true master of coaching teaching. He knew how to get the performance out of the actor. When I studied with him we had three cameras we had people that were behind the cameras, following the actor, so the actor always knows where they're supposed to be playing to . He was a true original besides Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Rick Rossovich...hello Val Kilmer, Matthew McConaughey!!!! He also was the inspiration and the namesake behind the character, Vincent Chase on Entourage because Mark Wahlberg studied with and learned so much from Vincent Chase. We would receive scripts from A-list actors from CAA and William Morris. Those scripts would give us new material-things that haven't been made yet-ways for us to create characters and create them the way that we felt that they should be shaped. Vincent Chase was a one-of-a-kind, unique human being. He had an amazing gift...that's evident in all the work that he's done in all the work of all the people that he's coached and all the careers that he shaped along the way...You have to know him to love him and the Irish setters that he had. Tully! lol.... I will never forget that man, his influence and how he has shaped the career that I had....I've stepped away from Hollywood, but everything he taught me and that I learned from him still remains... He really really taught me so many different technical things that people just don't know that I use even today in real life even though I'm not in front of the camera anymore... He really knew what he was doing...true genius! Rest, peacefully Vincent Chase...You are an icon!

I met Vince back in 1986 when he had students like Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn and Rick Rossovich…read more He had a full program runnning, like a school, classes mon-fri and all different subjects from cold reading to scene study, script breakdown, performance labs, industry showcases. He always had 3 cameras going so you could see each actors closeup and then a medium shot of both actors. He was overly generous and very nurturing. A mentor and friend at same time. He died 2 years ago , May 28, 2018. He was a classic and will be missed. a side note to SS who gave a 1 star review...he died a year after you wrote your post, of cancer. Not to minimize your bad experience but you really didnt experience HIM to be able to write that about him. That was obviously being run by someone else at his studio as he was in his late 80s by then and certainly didnt know about computers or even how to get online. Might not have even been mentally cognizant at that point. He was probably in some hospital or doing some ravaging treatment and didn't even know you placed an order. And some intern was probably taking advantage using Bridgegate as a personal piggy bank. He was taken advantage of alot bc he was too generous and too forgiving. Scammer he was not, too honest, sorry.

She teaches strong technique and always strives to bring out the best in the kids and she does this while also making the classes so much fun!

I can't wait to see what they do in camp this summer!

I loved my class with Kim Kalish she is the best!! She is kind & genuine, honest & straightforward…read more She's super duper knowledgeable on just about every angle of this industry. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about auditions & what to expect or what is expected of me, & Kim gave me all the tools to come out a very confident newbie. We even learn the business side of things on the last day of class. Sooo much info is given out but you end up feeling grateful to now know what you know. It's also nice to know that there are people like Kim in this industry wanting to help, wanting to see you succeed & be your best. It made it that more enjoyable to attend class each week knowing that I'm not ever alone & always supported. If you haven't taken a commercial class, if you're new to the industry & don't know where to begin- look no more & book a class with Kim Kalish at Camera Left/Stage Right. You will not regret it & you will gain a lot from it!!! Thank you Kim for being passionate about helping people. You have a heart of gold, you love what you do & it shows. I hope I get to see you around.
