Here, you will learn, develop, and finesse the techniques and mindset crucial to become a professional, working actor. That being said, even though this is an "acting" studio, the process of studying with Alex will surpass far beyond the craft and seep into all areas of your life as you dive deep and discover the complexities of who you are, and what you value as an individual. Alex is intuitive, patient, generous with his time and energy, and constantly evolving within his own craft as a teacher, bringing to the table his rich life experience as well as accredited expertise. He is individualized in his approach, "tayloring" them based on each student's specific strengths, weaknesses, goals, and needs. The only caveat- you have to be ardent and resilient, and you have to put in the work.

By far best acting studio out there. The technique is taught in such a clear and effective way. And…read morethe teacher can really see what you need and knows how to guide each person individually for them to go and unlock what they need for their acting. Every single person in our class came out with their skills just transformed. The atmosphere is also a really great place to grow. It's always super respectful of everyone, it's a safe space, it's focused, and all about the love for the work and the art form. Hands down best acting training out there. I could not recommend this place more!!

I've taken nine classes here and John Fisher has been rude and condescending at every one of his classes - consisting talking down to students and creating a negative learning environment. He may be an expert and good at his craft, but an expert does not make a good teacher. Would not recommend this place to others.

I constantly felt pressured to take extra classes that I didn't need. It felt less like guidance and more like being pushed to spend more money which is something a scamming business would do. The communication was uncomfortable, and interactions often felt confrontational because of his attitude instead of being supportive. Instead of feeling encouraged to grow, I felt like I was walking on eggshells.

If you're looking to write a comedy pilot script, I highly recommend Jackie Geary's pilot class…read more Besides being a successful comedic actor, Jackie's comedy writing has been optioned at Warner Brothers and TBS. I was thrilled to have an opportunity to learn from someone that currently works in the business. I went from only a log line to a 35 page sitcom script that I'm elated with in 2 months. It's an enormous amount of work, but if you're willing to put in the effort, Jackie will be there with you every step of the way. She teaches invaluable tools of comedy that help you develop a solid pitch document, outline and finally the script. I learned a ton in a short amount of time. The focus is always on how her teachings apply to your own writing and what you can do to make your ideas come to life. Along with Jackie, I was also lucky to have a fun, talented and supportive group of writers in the class to share the experience with along the way. I feel I now have the skills to write more sitcom pilots and infuse comedy in all my writing, if I so choose. I wouldn't have been able to say that with any confidence before this class. It's well worth the time and investment!!

I had taken acting classes in the past but these classes really unlocked how to work with material and perform for camera in a natural and real way. Not so much script analyzation with a partner and more actually getting in there and doing it. Less head stuff and more action. I loved the weeks I spent in these classes and made some amazing friends as well. Jamison and Jackie are geniuses in their craft and I will definitely be taking more classes with them in the future.

I really enjoyed how small and intimate the class sizes were. There was plenty of opportunities for individualized support, feedback, and redirection. I signed up for both the VO 1 & 2 classes.

His classes were not only fun and incredibly informative but I also love the way he teaches. He delivers clear feedback in an encouraging way while also remaining open to your own interpretation of something. I like that he fosters your instinct as an artist and works with your point of view. It's a fine balance! When I learned he started an in-person Acting Technique class, I knew I had to give it a try. His VO classes are amazing so I figured this class would be too. I was right! I've been going for almost 6 months and I've learned so much. The class is so unique in that it touches upon several exercises and techniques to give you a well-rounded experience. There is scene work, yes, but that's just one of a number of things we work on. There are different improv exercises, character work assignments, mock-auditions, and scene work that is rehearsed and ultimately filmed. I can really see improvement when looking back at my earlier clips in class. I HIGHLY recommend checking out his classes, especially his Acting Technique class. David is a wonderful, encouraging teacher with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to give clear direction while fostering your own unique voice.

He had an extra week before he started school, and I was looking for a camp to keep him busy while I worked. Honestly, I had heard about the movie starring Jack Black, but had never seriously looked into enrolling my son at the school. I'm so glad they have a location in Burbank. Not only was everyone there professional musicians who also know how to teach, but the hours were great, and my son said the instruction was second to none. You get to choose your instrument (which they supply and have on site), they "rock" between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., and end the week with a performance of two classic rock songs. My son was on drums, and relished being able to tap his sticks over his head while shouting, "One, Two, Three, let's rock!" before jamming out on percussion. The kids did an amazing job on both songs, and the parents got to see what they had been learning all week. Bonus: after they complete the summer camp, they're eligible to enroll in Rock 101 to deepen their knowledge of their chosen instrument or learn another. I cannot say enough good about this place. We'll definitely be back next year.

"You're taking a class for songwriting? Won't a class just stifle creativity?" is the question…read morefriends asked me when I signed up for the Roots class this winter. Short answer: "No way, quite the opposite. Take this class!" Genuine heart of gold staff, and sans the salesy, pushy vibes. And they will invite you to sit in as a guest on a current Roots class, to judge for yourself whether this is what you're looking for. I'm now into week 7 of the Roots course myself and it's been incredibly rewarding from day 1. My writer's block is slowly being ironed out into something workable. I have tools to get me out of creative dead-ends or jump start a blank sheet of paper. To heartily misquote Dolores from Westworld, "I feel spaces opening up in of me, like a building with rooms I've never explored". The setting is intimate, a small sized class where you really get to know everyone. It's comfortable, even if you're an introvert like me. And you will find yourself unexpectedly making amazing new friends. Rob, the instructor, will make you feel coached and inspired. He gives you awesome material and substance but without it ever feeling dry. The exercises he sends you through teach you to access and flip your thinking process in useful ways. And you are able to repeat them with yourself on your own time as useful tools. I'm really happy I signed up and I haven't even finished yet. Give this place a try. :)
