"Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine. To all of you out there,…read moreplease keep your dreams alive." - Ke Huy Quan, 2023 Oscar Winner for Best Supporting Actor When I was child in the 1970s, I loved watching television and the stories that the actors would convey over the screen. I loved how shows captured my attention with their laughter, escapism, or storyline. So, after 50 years of denying my dream and retiring from a 30+ year career, I started taking classes at the Actor's Studio of Orange County (ASoOC) in 2023 and studying the Seven Pillars Acting Technique. The Seven Pillars Acting Technique is a comprehensive acting technique that teaches you how to analyze scripts and how to "live truthfully under imaginary circumstances" because acting is so much more than just memorizing lines! Yet, the techniques are only words on paper. At ASoOC, I learned how to behave, speak, and feel as the character from all the wonderful instructors who brought the words and techniques to life! All working actors themselves, the instructors taught, encouraged, nurtured, and gently pushed/challenged/stretched us from the very first class of Living Truthfully to the very last graduating Showcase. All the while, they created a community where fellow students/actors encouraged, rather than competed with, each other. Lastly, students also learned the "business side" of acting, such as preparing their resumes, shooting their headshots, creating a biography, figuring out their casting types, etc. The business side (I needed to provide a biography) immediately came into play once I graduated! By nature, I am an introvert; yet, as I went through the classes at the ASoOC, I found myself emerging from myself and stepping up to the challenges of the given script (a shoutout to Victoria M. for nudging me!). Having recently graduated from the program, I am now making people laugh, allowing them to escape, or capturing their attention with the storyline. ASoOC is a wonderful community to learn the art of acting! Please keep your dreams alive!

I'm a male actor from the republic of South Africa. I moved to the USA just more than 3 years ago…read more I decided to join an acting class in Riverside to freshen up my acting skills here in the USA and to get used to acting with actors from the USA. Jordan Lund guided me and he taught me new acting techniques that I've never though of. Because of the techniques and skills I got from Jordan I've now landed a lead role in an upcoming Netflix series to be aired next year. I highly recommend Jordan to any actor. Doesn't matter if you've been acting for years as I did or if you're new to the industry. You will learn new techniques and the fact that he puts you on camera so you can be analyzed is an amazing learning experience. I also do know that Jordan teaches stage acting too. Riverside Film Acting Class was a good choice for me. Etienne Müller

Every class is recorded so you can review your progress and skills you need to work on. The classes are incredibly diverse, having a wonderful range of cultures and age groups, making everyone feel welcomed. He's only as serious as you are, so if you want to dive deep into acting, he will provide you with acting scuba gear! If you have a passion for the art, stop your search right now and look no further.

My daughters are autistic and, like a lot of kids, they mask in traditional school settings. What…read moreteachers often see is not who they truly are. They recently completed a school assignment, and I was completely blown away. The creativity, humor, expression, and confidence they showed was them--their real selves. And it was so clear to me where that came from. At The Creative Factory, they don't mask. They are comfortable, expressive, and fully themselves. That space allows them to open up in a way I don't see anywhere else. As a parent, that means everything. It's not just about creativity--it's about being seen, feeling safe, and being allowed to exist as who they truly are. I'm honestly so grateful for this place and what it's given my girls.

The instructors are incredibly encouraging and knowledgeable, and Brianne has created something really special--an organized, professional program that still feels warm and like a family. This experience has meant so much to our family. Acting class is now the highlight of her week, and I'm so grateful to Performers Academy for helping her find her confidence and passion.

We've been going to this school since they were in Fullerton, and they've always been great. My daughter started with Mr Nori and he's one of her favorite instructors. She's gone through a few instructors and we've never had a bad experience. My son now attends the school too. This morning, my daughter had a make up class and had to go into a different swim lane with a new teacher. She's been apprehensive about leaving her current school and starting kinder next year, and the emotions came out today. She started crying and holding onto me when she saw the new lane and instructor and said she doesn't want new things. Within seconds, Mr Scott came over and began comforting her asking if she'd like to see her other instructor Mayumi. Mayumi wasn't even dressed to go in the water, but rolled up her jeans and sat in another lane with her. Mr Nori came by to say hi and comfort her, and Mr Christopher gave her a private lesson for a few minutes while she adjusted. He eventually asked her if she wanted to join him in the new lane with the new instructor, and she said yes and was happy the rest of the time. Mayumi also came back to check on her. This is the level of care any parent looks for in a school and I highly recommend coming here.
