About

My name is parisa. I am an actor, director, playwright, and acting Instructor. I started my academic curriculum in acting at Santa Monica College of Los Angeles, after which I transferred to the University of Maryland where I received my B.A. in theatre. I then completed my MFA in acting with a concentration on directing at Regent University, Virginia Beach, VA. I enjoy teaching acting as much as performing on the stage. Being a teacher was one of my sweetest dreams since childhood, which has now come true, and no occupation in my life is more joyful for me than teaching acting. I have 10 years of experience in acting instructorship at different levels, however mainly for adults. Through these years, the most encouraging feedback I have been receiving from my students is that they enjoy my style of instructorship which eases learning deep and complex concepts in an easy and fun way so that everyone understands them and enjoys them. I have taught several methods and techniques of acting, such as Stanislavsky, Meisner, and monologue preparation for acting auditions. Moreover, I have helped students learn how to have a professional presentation of themselves when applying to available acting positions. for instance, teaching them how to make an appropriate headshot or resume for taking professional roles in the industry. Through the pandemic, I started to teach online acting classes to help people who love to learn acting and they do not want to stop learning because of the pandemic situation. Because of the experience and skills I gained in teaching online acting classes, as well as the satisfaction of my students, I decided to continue this method of teaching along with my classroom classes.

In the class, we will do lots of acting games and improve exercises to help you learn acting. We also work on preparing monologues for stage and film. I will teach you how you can act in front of the camera and also in front of the audience in Theatre stages. I hope the explanations I gave you made you feel good and confident about learning about acting in my classes. Last but not least, I love teaching acting since I love to meet new people and share my experience with them. I am easy to reach and responsive to questions raised by students during a class. I care about the subject and I do care about them very much, I do take pleasure in seeing them succeed.

I am teaching my classes by Skype and it is full of fun and excitement. Also, the first session will be half a price and we can talk about our acting class and the way I can help you to learn about acting. Then if you like the class, we can make a schedule for you.

I think I have the skills and experience that a good teacher should have and I can say with confidence that I can be one of the right candidates for you. This confidence is related to seeing the success of my students in the field of acting and the satisfaction of my students and school owners with the way I teach and treat them.

I wish you the best and I hope that you can achieve your goals with my training and of course with your own efforts.

Parisa :)

    Our acting instructor always had a smile on her face. She dealt with every situation with utmost positivity and turned every otherwise-awkward one to a group laughter. She showed great flexibility in response to our needs in terms of class time, assignments and final project. Last but not the least, because of her instructions, I know a lot more about acting and I am a far better actor :)

    Frequently asked questions

    I always ask new students what they want to learn about acting. If they are beginners then I help them to improve their knowledge about acting in the easiest way to understand the fundamentals of acting skills and methods then, we will work on them. But If they have some experience in acting and want to improve their skills, I will help them gain their skills by using the methods and activities to achieve their goals.
    MFA in acting and theatre at Regent University.
    The first session, which is for the teacher and student to get to know each other, will be half a price and the necessary pieces of information will be given to the student according to her /his needs to learn acting. After that, if the student is interested in continuing the class, the next steps will be taken. Classes have a fixed price of $25 per hour, but this amount is negotiable.
    I started teaching acting after graduating from university. I taught in different acting schools, and I have had face-to-face classes and online classes In basic, intermediate, and advanced levels.
    I have worked with many students in three categories. The first category was for those who were interested in acting without any background and only according to their interests in this field. The second category for those who had some acting background had discovered their talent in this field and were interested in continuing to learn acting at higher levels. The third category of those who had achieved high skills in learning acting and were ready to start this career in the acting industry in theater and cinema.
    The last thing I did was to perform a show with my students, which was very enjoyable for me because the students I had worked with during the years had prepared the results of my training in the performance of the show and I was able to analyze my work on them. the show was called " The Hairy Ape" by Eugene O'Neill. you can find the videos of the show in my profile.
    I advise students that if they are looking for an acting teacher, they should choose someone who has a lot of experience in this profession. Teaching acting requires its own special skills. These skills must be experienced by the teacher herself as an actor so that she can share her/his experiences with her/his students, and discover their talents. So that she can properly guide them in reaching their goals.Also, a teacher who has the ability to make the class fun for the student while being informative and challenging the student's creativity.
    Before the students talk to the teacher, it is better to think about their weaknesses and strengths in acting, how interested they are in acting, and specifically ask the teacher to help them overcome their weaknesses. And also ask their teachers about the educational method and the approximate amount of time students need to learn to achieve their goals.
