Tim Craig is a student of Stella Adler and Andrey Vasilyev has trained with some of the top acting coaches in Russia. Their training process/approach is fun, practical and applicable. Tim will focus on bringing the character from outside in, while Andrey's training focuses on developing inside out. Tim uses the 11 audio action movement in helping bring the text live. Andrey will work on body movement, imagination, improv, on camera and the center self/spirit. Each coach will give actors the necessary tools to become better at their craft. I highly recommend training at the Stanislavski Studio. Cheers. Ronnie

Jona and her team are just the BEST. I've taken several workshops with them (by the way - they do…read morethis for free to help fellow actors and artists?! Who does that?! - she even creates a workbook for everyone!!!) and I just LOVE my experience every single time. Jona is so smart and brights up the screen + with her energy and preparation she guides you through her methods and explains all the current industry tips. It's so helpful to know how it works, but what I love most about her workshops is that every time I sign off the session, I have this feeling that I can make all of my dreams come true. That everything is possible. That I do have all the tools that I need, I just need to be smart about how I'm using them until finding my own method. I will recommend Jona and her company forever and ever. Someone that teaches you and INSPIRES you? That's not common

I've gotten so much value out of working with Jona through Career Activate. The quality of the…read morematerial is excellent, but what really sets it apart is the access--to real industry professionals, thoughtful masterminds every quarter, and a smart, supportive community of actors who are actually working and thinking strategically about their careers. The masterminds alone are worth it. Being able to hear directly from industry pros and then process that information alongside other actors has helped me sharpen my perspective and make better decisions, instead of just reacting out of anxiety or guesswork. I especially highly recommend Jona's "Getting Rich in Your Niche" module. Once I went through that work, I got headshots that genuinely worked for me and clearly told the industry how to cast me. It brought focus and alignment to how I present myself, and the results were tangible. Career Activate is practical, clear-eyed, and rooted in how the business actually works. I highly recommend Jona to any actor who wants smart guidance, strong community, and tools that lead to real momentum--not just inspiration.

I had the privilege of taking a class here that reminded me of our basic tools to make an improvised scene occur. It is taught in a true 'drill' like fashion. Getting 'the reps' in feels good as it takes the pressure off the end result. I had the pleasure of having the fantastic teacher Echo Cullem. He teaches from the heart, knows the rhythm of a scene and how things should feel. He is a person we could trust as a group collective and one that made me feel open and able to adjust and learn. Eco reminds us that 'The most important person in a scene is your scene partner.' Our class was lucky to be given this amazing experience and I will miss each and every one of my talented classmates. Training at The Groundling is an honor for any funny or talented person who might be blocked or need to hit reset and you owe it to your talent and your Los Angeles story to train here.

But yeah I refuse to work with that specific instructor/actor anywhere and especially if they were on set. I hope that they got the help that they needed at that time.

The caliber of other actors is stellar, you can trust that you will be paired with talented actors if you are partnered in a scene by a casting director. The Talent Blast the last Sunday of the Month is the best theater in town, and the best CDs know it. After studying with Adam Marcus (camera style scene study) this last year I booked 12 gigs in 12 months! 1 play = Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate. 5 TV shows = Awake, The Newsroom, Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous, Switched At Birth, Up All Night. 2 commercials = Bud Light and Allstate, 2 print jobs and 2 films = Atlas Shrugged 2 and Revelation Road. I credit ITA with giving me the tools and the visibility to achieve this success. Am I bragging? You bet I am. Did I mention that their prices are absolutely the best you will find. Period.

I'll probably regret this later, as I.T.A. is one of the best-kept secrets we actors keep.... and…read morethe more popular this place becomes, the quicker I'll have to be about signing up for their workshops with casting professionals (they have workshops with Directors of television shows, heads of network casting, head CDs, Associate Casting Directors, etc.). But the owners of this wonderful resource for actors deserve to make their rent each month, and more talented and serious actors deserve to know about the fact that there ARE places that you can find for casting director workshops that aren't willing to rob you blind, just so you can get in the same room with a casting director. The fact that ITA charges HALF of what some of their competitors charge has motivated me to make the commute from Hollywood (work) and Studio City (home) to the west side for the past few years. (Note: Actually, the commute from the valley is surprisingly easy in the evenings, since it's going against traffic!) Here's what's great about ITA: You have to audition first, before you can sign up for any workshops. What's so great about that? 1) Some casting directors prefer to bring in (and assign to you) their own material. When that happens, they often assign you a partner (fellow classmate/actor), and after a very short rehearsal period you both go up and perform the scene together. In those instances, you're going to be in much better shape if your scene partner is AT LEAST as competent as you are. (The last thing you would want is to be paired with someone who's not ready for this sort of challenge.... If they're terrible, then you look terrible too!) At ITA, they've done their due diligence to make sure that you don't have that problem. 2) On at least three separate occasions over the years, I have heard head casting directors comment about the consistent high quality of actors that they see when they come to I.T.A. That's an automatic point in your favor, in my opinion. Other things that make ITA a wonderful place? Their CD workshops are at rock bottom prices. Seriously. Recently they ran a special where a lot of their upcoming workshops were only $25. That's unheard of in most places! The classes are reasonably small (as opposed to the 40+ actors that I've seen attending at some other workshops!), so you get a fair amount of time and attention from the casting professional. Some of the actors attending the workshops at ITA are regularly booking guest stars, and still attribute their success to having been on a casting director's short list, because they met at a workshop. They regularly have actor showcases for those actors looking to find a new agent or manager. The staff members are friendly and helpful. (They're actors, too!) The atmosphere amongst the other actors is very supportive. I like the people that I meet there. Free parking in the neighborhood right behind Washington Blvd. There's a great gluten free bakery right down the street. (But I digress!) Ok. Get your butt down there before I pull this review. It's already making me nervous.... (Isn't that funny, how sometimes people don't want to share the things that they love best?) As you probably know, there is no promise of work just because you enrolled in a class and got to strut your stuff in front of a heavy-hitting casting director who is currently casting. And this is just my personal experience, mind you..... But less than a month after I took a class at ITA with the head CD for Criminal Minds, I got called straight to producers (a huge compliment!) for a really great role....and I booked it!
