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

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

Caleb Stewart’s teaching methods are both innovative and inspiring. He doesn’t just teach you how to act; he teaches you how to shine on stage and screen. Thanks to Caleb, I’ve landed roles I once thought were out of my reach!

Gary is a phenomenal teacher, he helped change my life in both my acting career and personal life. I wanted to get started in pursuing my dream as an actor and I was lost before I met Gary. His method to teaching is simple and easy to understand. His approach is examining life in a profound way and he doesn't over-intellectualize concepts that could confuse you when acting. Before meeting him, I tried other schools that would confuse me and introvert me more as an artist. Gary is very knowledgeable on the craft of acting, and is technical when explaining things that could be complicated or abstract. He has helped me navigate this industry in a more efficient way and has given me the mindset to succeed. His concepts apply to both in acting and in my personal life. My life as an actor and as a person, has improved since I have been learning with Gary. When I first started, I was very closed off and could barely make normal conversation. Gary has helped me open up, gain confidence, and find my voice in life and my art. I have booked multiple lead roles back to back ever since I met Gary, and I am succeeding. Gary is the real deal! I highly recommend him if you are serious about changing your life and getting your career on track. I have found my teacher and community, and I haven't looked back ever since.

Ms. Sousa is really nice. The first time we met was in my class LA AllStars program. She made me feel very comfortable even though I was camera shy. She was organized and had a plan for each class lesson and I learned alot. After I graduated I am now studying film studies at Santa Monica College and will transfer to USC -- i hope. :)

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.

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. She makes the classes fun for kids while simultaneously teaching. Highly recommend this workshop!

I had the pleasure of working with Matt on several occasions and not only possess patience and assurance, he was extremely knowledgeable of the art of acting. One exercise that stood out to me was the body awareness exercise. I learned that acting really is all about creating a moment and being aware of what your body is telling you. In addition, I really enjoyed the advanced scene study halls as well. I remember I had a very important audition and I learned so much about listening and learning the other person’s lines and their intents. All in all, great teacher, great actor, and HILARIOUS guy. Have you seen him on Snapchat?
