It is hard to surpass the feeling that I have when seeing a student progress from having no confidence to enjoying who they and to start to play. I give them the tools to discover who they are! I take enormous pleasure on being part of the students' self-reallization, and hence confidence, of each person that crosses my path will inevitably gain.

She has a way to bring out the best in people and inspires you to do the best you possibly can all the while getting outside of your comfort zone and acting silly, serious, or somewhere in between. I highly recommend June to help budding actors/actresses in any capacity." Read more

Hello! My name is Brian Kennedy and I am looking to help students reach their vocal potential to the fullest! I have background and training in Musical Theatre and Pop/Rock, graduating from the University of Northern Colorado in 2020 with a Bachelor's in Musical Theatre. I have also been regularly performing with regional theatres in the Portland area for several years. While I have been fulfilled in my work, I miss getting the opportunity to help others develop their own talent and express their own art through their work in a healthy way.

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

Ruby is amazing! She is super talented and such a great instructor. I already see improvements in just a short period of time. She’s encouraging, empathetic, direct, patient, and knowledgeable. Her greatest quality as a teacher is that she really cares. She’s attuned to your skills, can quickly identify issues, and will design exercises tailored to your personal needs. I strongly recommend Ruby because she is AWESOME!
