Nancy A T. says, "When you step into The Actors Room, you step into a room of welcoming, professional individuals. Yes, the theme is drama; however, the vibe is as pleasant as the people who are involved. Steve is a superb instructor who not only teaches the art of acting thoroughly in an uncomplicated manner, but also leads with empathy and sincerity. As the world changes ruthlessly, expect the Actors Room to be a small space where you can dare to just BE." Read more

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.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from UC Irvine, completed the Summer Training Congress at The American Conservatory theatre, and Studied acting at the San Francisco Ruth Asawa School of the Arts High School. I've performed at The San Diego Symphony, La Jolla Playhouse's WoW Festival, and Comic-Con immersive shows. I enjoy seeing students develop new skills. My favorite thing is seeing it "click" for a student in understanding how easy it can be with work and practice. A respect for acting is necessary while not taking ourselves too seriously. Whatever you're looking for in an acting teacher, I can provide the knowledge, encouragement, an...

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

He is insightful. He recognizes your strengths as well as your weaknesses and he will have you working on both to boost your confidence. I already see a difference in my confidence level. Marc has proven to me that he knows this industry and what he is doing. "I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille." ;^)

I have found a great group of people to learn and grow with here. Steve Lowe is very knowledgeable and keeps up with the most current industry standards. This keeps his actors ahead of the curve. Highly recommend!

Training with David Tom has been a bright light keeping me going during the times I felt like I should quit. Definitely some of the best coaching I have ever experienced. These classes are what every beginning or advanced actor needs: a safe and fun space to try, fail, learn, and experiment! David has given me extra confidence not only in my pursuit of acting but in my daily life too! Some of the advantages of the online format include flexible scheduling (several class times to choose from each week), taking class from any quiet space with a wifi connection, and getting to act and connect with people from all around the world. David is a compassionate and talented acting coach and has always keep in mind was is best for me as his student. He always challenges me to reach out of my comfort zone but to also be safe and to never take any roles that would be against my ethical standings. I would recommend that anyone looking for a legitimate, professional, kind, and a very experienced acting coach should definitely take his classes. He has taught me so much and I am forever grateful. Thank you David for everything!

Melissa is a phenomenal acting coach! My ten-year old daughter has grown and learned so much through Melissa’s performing arts workshop. Melissa is extremely experienced and knowledgeable in acting techniques and the acting industry. Melissa is positive, energetic, fun and caring.

Firstly, Kenwa has so much integrity. Second….she is an amazing teacher - the best - she’s incredibly smart and knowledgeable - and funny - and makes her classes so joyous! She teaches for all levels and really connects with the students one on one. As an event planner and yoga studio manager, I highly recommend Kenwa to teach or to lead an event. She puts her heart and soul into it and that comes through in the experience.

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!
