Find the inner thought of your character. How does your character walk?, talk?, what does your character eat?, what is your character's thought process? Through the coaching of Rjay you will learn how to build a 4D character. I enjoy being able to help the actor find the character. I enjoy the journey of discovery that the actor takes with finding out who the characteris at heart.

I've been a professional actor, director, fight choreographer, and professor of acting in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex since 1994. I'm a tenured professor of theatre for Tarrant County College, a 25 year member of Actor's Equity Association, an eligible status performer with SAG/AFTRA, am represented for film, television, commercial, and voice over by the Kim Dawson Agency. I believe that acting and understanding of the craft, and the human connection the craft embodies is one of the greatest ways of exploring and expressing empathy in our ever changing and divided world. And as my and many others' favorite quote goes: "Acting is living

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

I was in from New York casting a couple of Novel Trailers for our new business. Edgar and co. we're incredible about sending us some of his talented actors on tape. Can't say enough good things about E. Artistic Studio!

Lar is the BEST in the biz! She brings out so many sides of me - some I didn’t even know I had! She pushes me, is very creative, specific, imaginative & fun! Whenever we’re working on sides & the story is vague, we scheme up different ways the story could go - she’s awesome! Highly, highly, highly recommend! - ETHAN POGUE

I really enjoyed working with here, I did not want the project we were working on to end. I respected her vision and how she went above and beyond to bring that vision to life. Her writing is excellent, and her coaching is exceptional. I have not been in acting in years and was so nervous about getting back into acting. She made the process easy and always gracefully reminded me that I could do this.

Nadya is a trooper! Me and my sisters had a difficult time finding a trainer to teach us 3 dance styles for my wedding and she made it happen. She was patient and very helpful.

Michelle Sherrill has been an absolutely fantastic acting coach. I started working with her a little over a year ago and she has helped me to stretch and grow as an actor. Her teaching style is very interactive and personal and I love the time she takes with each student to help them dig deeper into themselves and deliver their most organic and truthful performance. She combines teaching ability with humor, fun, energy, and knowledge and I always look forward to attending class on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an acting coach that is not only a brilliant teacher but also an actor working in the business. She understands the actor’s journey and truly cares about her students.”
