Hi! As a teacher (and artist), my role is to be constructive, honest, and helpful on our journey together. I want you to connect with your own instrument in a way that is practical, truthful, and impactful. I'm a multiple-award winning professional actor based in Los Angeles, working in TV, film, and theatre, with additional produced experience as a playwright, screenwriter, and director for the stage and screen, and I carry my entire artistic life into my conversations with my students, young and old.

One of the advantages of being an actor who has produced and cast my own film and commercial projects is that I have learned a lot about life on "the other side of the table." I seek to share that experience with my students. The goal of this class is to help you hone your acting and audition skills such that when you leave an audition, you can say, "I did what I wanted to do!" Too often, as actors, our nerves get in the way of our talent. My class also addresses this basic obstacle. Taking its cue from the teachings of my mentor, long-time acting coach David LeGrant, On-Camera Acting helps you learn to make the interesting choices that will...

Jeffrey H. says, "Kevin Ryan is an incredible acting coach. I’ve watched his work on the TV shows Copper and Harry Wild as an actor and couldn’t believe it when I found him on here teaching. He is the ultimate professional. For me, an absolute beginner, his approach was super clear and he made sense of the whole acting process (which seemed daunting and scary before working with Kevin). I look forward to continue to work with Kevin as he has so much to offer in every aspect of acting." Read more

I just won a Tony and Obie for the show called Oslo last year playing one of the leads. I have been acting since I was a child. I have studied with great Michael Howard, Uta Hagen, Allen Miller, and Charlie Richter. I have developed my own way and system based on all the styles I have studied. I have appeared in hundreds of film and television shows. Goto to me IMDB page to see most of my work. I am an ethnic actor and was the first Iranian American to be a network series regular in 2003 for ABC, so I am an expert on teaching ethnic actors on how to get work including children.

Ryan T. says, "Peter made it easy. From someone who had zero experience in voice over/acting, he was able to make a lesson plan that made sense, fit in with my availability, and most importantly, he really made it easy to take steps towards a profession that felt impossible to reach towards. From targeting scripts that were meant to resonate with me, to ones that fit my timbre and diction. If you want easy, sensible, logical lessons that will actually move you in the direction of one day submitting your own auditions and roles, reach out to Peter. If you just want to dream without trying then keep waiting. Great guy, great teacher. Highly recommended." Read more

Your Acting Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do acting classes cost?

Acting classes cost $25 to $65 per hour on average for group classes or $50 to $150+ per hour to hire a private acting coach. Prices vary depending on where you live and the instructor's experience and reputation. Acting studios that offer ongoing weekly classes typically charge $150 to $350 per month.

Acting courses and workshops can cost as little as $200 to as much as $2,800+, depending on the content, number of sessions, and the instructor's demand. Some acting workshops are short, 1- or 2-day intensive classes focusing on one aspect of the industry, while other programs last 4 to 8 weeks and cover several topics, methods, and techniques.

Most studios offer a free trial class so you can get a feel for the teaching style and decide if it's right for you.

Are online acting classes worth it?

Online acting classes are worth it if you want to pursue acting and are unable to attend acting classes in person. With online video calling platforms like Zoom and Skype, you can now study acting with the best in the industry from the comfort of your own home! Many reputable acting coaches—including those right here on Lessons—now offer online acting classes and teach the same methods and techniques that they teach in the studio. 

Do you need acting classes to become an actor?

You technically don't need acting classes to become an actor. However, acting classes can help you gain confidence, learn new methods and techniques, analyze scenes and scripts, and build new industry connections and relationships. Acting classes can also teach you about the business side of acting, which is as important as acting itself.

How long do acting classes take?

Acting class length varies depending on the studio and the type of class. Some studios have 2-hour classes, while others have classes lasting 3 to 5 hours. Depending on the location, acting classes may be offered in several formats, such as ongoing weekly classes, weekend intensive workshops, and training programs that can run anywhere from 2 to 8+ weeks.

What skills do you need to be an actor?

While the necessary skillset varies depending on the type of acting you pursue (think Broadway theater vs. TV commercials vs. film), all actors need a broad range of skills to portray the expressions and emotions of a character so effectively that they temporarily transport the audience to a world where the actor is indeed that character. This often involves:

  • Memorizing lines and stage cues
  • Analyzing scripts and scenes
  • Developing a character's emotions and physical expressions
  • Working with other actors, directors, and production crews
  • Adapting to unexpected changes and situations
  • Speaking clearly and adjusting one's voice to align with the character
  • Learning and developing different acting methods and techniques
  • Being comfortable in front of an audience or camera

David Tom was the most attentive, patient and knowledgeable acting teacher I have ever worked with. Working with David helped me to become more comfortable while performing and know the in’s and outs of acting on a film set. His patience and understanding while teaching is unmatched and he makes the most of every class. I genuinely consider myself a better performer when working with him!

Have you ever dreamed about a place where you can do and create everything by simply having connection with your partner? Well, Christian Rodrigo's Studio is the place; His approach to acting is complete and integral; first, is about discovering what's inside you, a world that exists even though you don't see it, but you can create out of the blue! and trust me, your guts are always right. Besides imagination, there's work and practice and rehearsal. So this is the place to grow as an actor! Loving it.
