CJ says, "Alina lives on the west coast and I live on the east coast, but we are still able to manage high quality voice lessons over Skype. Alina’s Voice Studio has given me many creative vocal exercises to practice even when I am not in a session. She’s a great voice mentor that has taught me so much more about my voice than I would have learned on my own. She takes the time to get to know your voice and gives great advice that guarantees you’ll make progress in your vocal range and vocal control. She’s super supportive. Would 100% recommend" Read more

I have 35 years in the theatre, writing, directing, producing, acting, and even prop mastery. My forte is nuance in acting and flipping a script with unusual (though primal/instinctual) choices. My motto is… if you can make them laugh at least once during the audition, you will get a call back. If you get a call back, you can surely win the role.

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

Everything!!! Marci is a VERY wise soul and a truely compassionate person. She listened to me about my previous sports injuries, related...and then asked me what route "I" wanted to go towards with Yoga. She is very professional in her craft, levitating towards her clients goal/s with ancient knowledge in Yoga techniques that will help anyone in need of pain relief, stress, flexibility, anxiety, the list goes on. I am so happy she was my very first Yoga instructor!!! And, I cannot say enough great things about the light she has turned on in my life through her knowledge and experience in Yoga. After just 1 one-on-one session, I have a different perspective and action plan for a better quality of life that I know now is feasible thanks to Marci. Highly recommended to all.

Ms. Alina is so wonderful! My children took lessons from her and one is still taking lessons from her. It was amazing to see how she was able to improve my son’s voice during his first lesson with her. She knows what she is doing. She is kind and patient. I recommend her in a heart beat!
