Chris L. says, "Matthew is an excellent coach and motivator for people serious about their craft. With his background as a school teacher and professional actor, he brings the best of both worlds of being able to motivate adult and child actors. Matthew's coaching of my daughter led to her being signed by a national agency and booking major brand name commercials. Matthew is passionate about the craft and has more energy and creative ideas than anyone we have yet to cross paths with. Take a lesson and see for yourself." Read more

Candace W. says, "Dante has the personal touch that makes you feel like he really cares about your well being, Ive been with other personal trainers and they tend to be overpriced while just getting straight to the point. He gave me weekly at home work outs when we couldn't meet up in person for a great value that really got me sweating. Hes a cool dude who doesn't have that intimidation factor that other trainers gave me. Would definitely recommend." Read more

Cheryl says, "Blank Stage Acting Studios is an amazing place! They provide acting lessons that are fun and engaging. Brent, Lily, Anthony, Tony and all of the coaches get to know you as an individual. They take you from where you start and grow you into the kind of actor/actress that they know you can become. The individual attention that each person gets is a unique gift. You are not a number at Blank Stage, you are part of a family. We love our experience at Blank Stage and couldn't be happier. Our daughter glows from the inside out - she found her happy place where people believe in her as much as we do." Read more

Telling stories and getting to share the journey of humanity through different artistic outlets is one of my favorite parts of life. Another is helping others do the same.

Whether it's acting or dancing, for professional reasons or simply to explore different hobbies, I would love to help you build confidence and create a safe space for your endeavors. I began my dance training at the ripe old age of 18 and have been in love with dancing ever since.

Jennifer W. says, "This is the place to be to begin your journey to the big screen! I loved the warm up exercises that get you comfortable for the lesson (I am such a shy individual especially when it comes to acting)!! Learning the terminology used in the field of acting was detailed so learning these while participating in individual and also group exercises gave me a great intro and idea of how fun being an actress/actor can really be. The feedback after each exercise helped me improve more and more as well. J Weeks is great at keeping the classes fun which also made it fun to learn! The intro class alone has me excited about showing the world just how great I can really be!" Read more

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

Dennis was very insightful, informative, clear, and patient as an instructor. He was always striving to get me as a student to dig deeper into my characters and the scene.
