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

Miss Lilia is the best acting coach I´ve ever had. I reached to her a month before having to submit my application for College Theatre Programs. Despite the short amount of time, we managed to get it all done! She´s a very comprehensive and nice person. She makes the class fun and not so structural, which I think is key for any acting classes.
Robert is such a Great acting coach! He worked with me on my audition pieces for a up coming audition. He helped me feel grounded in the source material as well as help me connect the thoughts. By the end of our sessions I felt extremely confidenet about my audition. Robert exceeded my expectations as a Coach!

My name is James. I am a 16-year-old high school student currently attending Triumph High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I started a rock band with my friends and I chose to play the keyboard. I wanted to get really good at the keyboard, so I searched for a place that could teach me to be a great keyboardist in the rock genre of music. After looking in the Wyoming area, I found the Elite Music Academy of the Arts.
