    If you're new to acting and have no idea where to even begin, start at Graham Shiels Studios…read more I joined The Lab as a total beginner, and what hit me first was that everyone there is actually working -- not "aspiring," not playing around, but genuinely auditioning and booking. That alone shifted my mindset. The room feels serious in a motivating way, not intimidating. You can tell people show up because they care about getting better. Graham is the real deal. He doesn't waste time, and he doesn't give vague notes. He tells you exactly what you're doing, what's underneath it, and how to adjust so your work actually lands. You walk out of class knowing what to practice instead of feeling confused or overwhelmed. As someone just starting out, I felt like I was finally in the right place. If you're unsure where to begin or who to trust in this industry, audit a class. Seeing it for yourself is enough. This studio made acting feel doable, and that's honestly the biggest gift for a beginner.

    I think Graham is a wonderful teacher. However, my rating is due to this company's business ethics…read more I enrolled in a three-week intensive where students are evaluated and placed with a teacher. I made it clear from the start that my only goal was to train with Graham, which requires an invitation. When I asked about ongoing classes, I was told his classes were full, but that I would be placed just below his level and moved up after I completed the four week course with a different teacher. After completing the intensive, my card was charged without my knowledge for an additional four weeks of classes, and NOT with Graham. When I raised this with the office, they pointed to a "subscription" clause in the contract that allowed them to automatically charge my card. This was never clearly explained to me. I only enrolled in the initial program based on the understanding that I would be invited to train with Graham upon completion. Instead, I was unknowingly charged for more classes, with a different teacher, without consent. When I requested a refund, especially since I wouldn't even be in town to attend (which I explained to them) they refused... "No refunds". They told me I could take the classes when I returned to town, presenting that as a generous accommodation. However, they still would not guarantee placement with the teacher I originally requested. This experience felt misleading and very exploitative. Many actors are investing limited resources into their training, and transparency matters. Charging for services I did not knowingly approve, and could not attend, is unacceptable. I ultimately disputed the charge. After months of back-and-forth, they ruled in favor of the school based on the fine print referencing a subscription. That may be technically enforceable, but it was not clearly communicated, and it's disappointing. Mind you I paid for the intensive, additional classes with a teacher I didn't want based on a promise that wasn't fulfilled, and even booked private sessions with Graham.. all within two months. This company could have earned far more from me long term if they had acted with transparency and integrity. They were greedy and shortsighted. Do better.

This school's open approach to The Method and one that is kind. A far cry from usual acting schools, these awesome teaching staff members create a great environment where we are in safe and supportive learning mode. There is a focus on the body being fully relaxed as to access anything they need. The culture is amazing at relaxation exercises that Lee taught specifically to the chair was awesome and I loved being taught it here. From day one the fantastic Holly Hart taught us levels of awareness and how to name things in terms of boundaries. My teacher Anne DeSilvio reminded us that we are just on a leaning journey and take the pressure off of 'nailing it' every time. The on Camera class with Chris Prinzo is upbeat and his notes are constructive and always help. No matter what he has your best interest in heart and wants to see you connect to the emotions within the relationship of the characters, the scene and the exchange between both actors. We were lucky to be taught by two family members related to Lee Strasberg himself here. The fun Sasha Krane took us through a very smart, sharp and dynamic scene study and would sharpen identifying factors to quickly break down these with the script. David Strasberg is great to work with and gives a session that is packed with information and new ways to use old tools we might not have remembered or knew how to use before. He teaches a monthly drop-in class which I look forward to being a part of as well. Jenny at front desk sets the kind tone from day one onwards and no matter what my question was I never felt dumb. I was grateful to her opening the door for me randomly as I arrived earlier than ever each day due to LA Metro transit. Laura Cromer Director of Administration makes schedules & pumpkin pie and amount other things, has the kindest dog. Ashanay at the desk was a wonderful entity and I am glad I got to meet her in her final days in this kind position and wish her the best int he future. Lee Strasberg Institute meets you where you are as an artist and only build up so the experience can remain open to adjust and adapt easier. Their intensive was the best decision ive ever made since living in LA. I am looking forward to my continued study with this school in the future.

    I had a great experience here for the Pictures Up Film Festival 2024. The only drawback was parking…read morewas so hard to find!

    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.

    This is what improv is all about and I am so relieved to have finally found it in North Hollywood…read moreunder the instruction of Bill Applebaum! Improv intimidates me but when I audited the class, it all melted away and we just had fun. I especially appreciated the relaxed and natural manner in which the class unfolded. Bill was in tune with what every performer brought to the table, his feedback was constructive, and it was obvious to me just how much he enjoyed sharing his passion for improv to anyone willing to listen. As it turns out, it's fun to learn from someone who enjoys what they do. Audit the class and see for yourself.

    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.
