Jesus Kevin R. says, "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Honestly, I can’t recommend Marc enough! I never thought I’d actually follow through with acting — it always felt like something way out of reach for me. But with Marc’s guidance and support, that dream feels closer than ever. Getting to work with Marc has been such a blessing. He’s not just an acting coach; he really helps you see your own potential and brings out parts of your craft you didn’t even know were there. Every session feels like progress, and I always look forward to them each week. Marc has truly helped me open new doors and push myself in ways I didn’t think I could. If you’re serious about acting or even just curious about it, take that step — Marc will help you get where you want to be." Read more

Sharline B. says, "David as an outstanding voice and acting coach. My daughter Lexi had the privilege of training under his guidance, and his impact on her development has been remarkable. David is not only a highly skilled coach but also a dedicated mentor. He took a genuine interest in my daughter’s growth—both inside and outside of coaching sessions. His encouragement, insight, and commitment helped her refine her talents and build confidence in her abilities. Thanks in large part to David’s coaching and mentorship, my daughter was accepted into one of her top-choice colleges, where she will be majoring in theater this fall. His expertise, professionalism, and heart for his students make him a truly exceptional teacher. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking a coach who will bring out the best in their students. S.

Your Acting Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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

Working with Marc has given me the skills and encouragment that I've needed to find myself as an actress and reflect on my strengths and weaknesses. He's very easy to work with and very flexible.

I had an incredible experience with David Tom as my acting teacher. He coached me through and taped my auditions, and was instrumental in significantly enhancing the quality of the work I submitted to casting directors. What I truly appreciated was his approach to the method, which not only improved my performances but also deepened my understanding of the craft. David's resume, experience, dedication, and insight make him an exceptional mentor for any aspiring actor.

Cathy is a pleasure to work with. I came to Cathy with no singing experience. She always takes the time to answer my questions and to develop a lesson plan specific to my needs. During my time with her she has helped me to expand my vocal range and boost my confidence to perform in public. She even provided me with some CDs with vocal exercises and warmups. I’d definitely recommend Cathy!
