I wish I came here sooner! A few months ago, I had taken tons of Voice Over and Commercial specific…read moreclasses but was chomping at the bit to take a solid on camera acting class. Everyone I asked for recommendations, from casting directors to agents to actors, ALL recommended Lesly Kahn. But I was still hesitant - it seemed too good to be true. So I signed up for intro courses and free audits all over town to scope out which acting studio I connected with the most. After taking the intro class with Lesly herself, I immediately knew I had found my home. The other studios couldn't hold a candle to her. At other studios all they did was talk about themselves for 2 hours and then look at your resume and tell you what class to take. If you didn't have any TV credits, they immediately shoved you in the beginning class without ever actually seeing you act. But not Lesly! In her intro class you get on your feet and perform a scene with her coaching you. She doesn't just judge you based on your resume. She sees your potential. I loved her studio, her style, her energy, her mind, everything! After the intro I immediately signed up for the Comedy Intensive with Tyler. I truly loved every minute of the Intensive and rehearsing with my fellow actors (the class is 3 Saturdays in a row but you are encouraged to rehearse every day for 3 hours). Tyler is so incredibly smart, talented, and specific in his coaching. He expects everyone to bring their A game, and when you truly put in the work, it shows! At the end of the 3 weeks, I felt like my acting had traveled light years. I am ready to go out now and slay every audition with confidence and specificity! Can't wait to continue my journey with Lesly Kahn!

It's located right on Ventura Boulevard with its own parking (which is a big plus in L.A.), and the class sizes are just right--not too big, not too small. Tuesdays and Thursdays Scene Class helped me a lot more efficiently to discove my character in auditions. Plus people in the class are all auper talented working actors. What really makes it stand out is the instructors. They're working actors--people with real experience in the industry--and you feel that in every class. The approach they use? I like to call it "Stanislavski on steroids." They've developed their own method, and as someone who's trained in traditional Stanislavski, I can tell you it's faster, sharper, and incredibly efficient. If you're serious about honing your craft, give this place a shot--you won't be disappointed. Every one from the staff to the fellow class mates are so welcoming. Lastly, this school is always checking on us if we weren't booking anything for sometimes to help and guide us. Every time you will actually book something they like to share it on their special wall as well as Instagram stories. Bcz your success is their success.

Thanks Jay!!!

After taking his class I had a new take on improv and he reminded me of why I love doing it. He's responsible for reviving my ways of being willing to fail and how to be fearless! This review makes him sound like a life coach but he really is the MAN. I will always lean towards following the fear because "There are no mistakes in improv, only gifts!" And it's true - very realistic approach that we often forget after taking so many improv courses. Needless to say, I plan on taking more of his workshops and classes in the future!

This was by far one of the best classes that I have taken in L.A. I have taken numerous classes…read morehere since I was a child since my dream has almost always been to be an actress. I also took Improv classes at the Groundlings which were VERY expensive. When I took classes at the Groundlings, it was very apparent that they basically anyone in the lower classes were just a number. They fill the lower level classes just to keep the money flowing. I found Actors Improv Studio through my agent. No it's not in the fanciest building or the best neighborhood. But that's not what you go to class for, and he usually has some licorice or candy that you can snack on during class. That definitely sweetens the deal. :) I took classes here for about a month. Bill was EXTREMELY helpful and it was very apparent that he cared about each student individually. He takes the time to critique and praise you after each exercise. He even videos during each class, and after some exercises you can watch your work. The best part of his classes was his encouraging nature. All I can really remember from taking classes at the Groundlings is all the rules they give of what you are not supposed to do. Bill presented the rules of Improv, but not in a way that makes an improvisor feel stifled and held back. I left his class feeling much more confident thanks to him. The only reason that I haven't been able to go back is b/c I can't afford the extra expense at this time. But I would recommend him to anyone who really wants to know what it takes to become a great Improvisor. Yes CDs and such are mildly impressed when they see the name of a big name Improv Studio on your resume. But that won't book and keep a job. You have to be able to deliver much more than that. Bill will help you get to a place where you can consistently deliver.

We absolutely love Katt Shea. She is patient, kind, and truly a master of her craft.

The one-on-one private lessons are invaluable. Farrah has improved so much since working with Katt, and she genuinely loves her classes. Katt brings out the best in her - helping her feel relaxed, expressive, and confident on camera. Learning from an actual movie director is a huge bonus. Katt knows what casting directors are looking for, and her guidance has been incredible. Katt is wonderful in so many ways, and we can't recommend her enough.

I've been a student in Katt's class since I began acting almost 3 years ago. The more time I spend…read moreworking in entertainment, the more I realize teachers like Katt are RARE. She is a teacher that loves the art of acting, is a director herself with multiple feature films under her belt, has worked with accomplished actors, and has also worked as an actor herself. She sees all sides of the craft which allows her to understand actors more deeply and their process. She is patient and kind, but knows when to push you through your weaknesses. In addition, her students are loyal and her turnover rate is extremely low. Most of the people I met when I started her class are still in her class. This is a testament to her teaching and the safe space she creates in her class for you to experiment and push boundaries in your performances. It definitely is a class where the more you put in, the more you get out. If you come to class willing to learn and expand, take direction, and LISTEN, you will grow very quickly as an actor. You have the freedom to choose what kind of material to work on, but Katt always steers you into new territory when she feels you need to be pushed in other areas of the craft. If you want to improve as an actor, or even just try acting out as a beginner/hobby, this is the place to go. Plus, VERY AFFORDABLE.
