I've been a working actor for a number of years, and there-by have attended many cold-reading…read moreclasses. For this I was initially skeptical as to whether or not this class could offer me any guidance I had not already heard. I was extremely pleased to find that not only did the class offer me new insight regarding my technique, but the instructor was quite familiar with the previous techniques I had made part of my approach; so I was not faced with having to unlearn any facet of what I believed was already working for me. Instead, I was shown how to incorporate the concepts taught in the class to revitalize my current technique. I have seen a better response to my performances. I wish I had started the class before pilot season began.

Stephen has studied with Sandy Meisener himself and has casting directors and film makers that are…read more personally his friends come in to really take a look at the actors. His acting class is different because you are able to develop a true relationship with the directors and casting directors. He is a casting director himself who truly cares and understands actors. Stephen donates his time without charge to his students to help them with auditions and scenes because he has passion about the students that are in his class. This kind of personal attention cannot be found in any other acting classes. He is a true mentor who will not charge you for advises and career net working. That is if you are a good actor.

Dennis is amazing! I have been training with him for almost two years now. When I first moved to LA…read moreit took me awhile to find an acting coach who I felt I worked really well with. Coming from a theatre background Dennis has been able to help translate my work to camera. He also has helped me with auditions and made instead of making the same choice every other actor. Another great part of the class is that you get to pick your own material. So whatever you need to work on you can bring that in to class and challenge yourself! There are so many incredible things I can say about Dennis and if you are an actor looking to further your career I highly recommend seeing Dennis!

Dont waste your money or time…read more I dont normally write reviews but I wanted to warn people that this class is lame. Jonathan is not a teacher and doesn't do a good job pretending that he is. you wont get to work much at all and will spend most of the time listening to him talk (he goes on and on without saying much, except the rare times you get to work, then feedback is non-exsistent,). He cannot control a classroom and many of my classmates were upset about the quality of the class, the fact that we rarely got to work, and that he lets people in the class who clearly just want attention ask questions and take a huge portion of the class. I could have learned more by reading on the internet, filming myself acting as a host, and watching it back. If you are serious about your career, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

In 2012 I took the 'Break Into TV' classes for 5 months, I found them to be extremely helpful for…read moremy TV ambitions and also so much fun! Jonathan is a knowledgeable TV veteran and a natural teacher. From the newbies that are shy in front of the camera to the polished students that are working in the industry, he offers pointed feedback to each person as to what they can improve, with lots of positive feedback as well. These classes definitely helped me improve my on-camera performance, ad lib skills, and confidence. The other students were friendly and fun, we cheered each other on and laughed continuously through each class. Just for the entertainment value alone it was worth the time and money!

I absolutely love Troy Rowland's acting studio! He is as…read morereal as it gets! I have seen so much growth in myself since I've been taking his class! He's very uplifting and very motivational! I leave class always feeling good and more confident!!! He pushes each student to their maximum potential and capacity. He offers improv, scene study-(provides original content), how to self tape, preparing for an audition, blocking for a scene, character building, approaching a scene using reversal. The list goes on! Because he is on set everyday, he brings so much insight to the class! Which is a super plus!! He also brings in working actors/reputable people he works closely with in the industry. What sets Troy apart from the rest is he is an actor himself who can demonstrate what he teaches and he has a heart of gold! He wants the best for his students and he is fully committed to everyone's success. He once told me, " you owe it to yourself to invest in yourself". It really stuck with me and I take the time to think about every decision that can positively or negatively impact my career. He is walking wisdom and I'm so blessed to have an amazing mentor/teacher/long life friend! Love Troy!!!! 10 stars!!!

I've been training with Troy and Tonya for almost 2 years now and I've grown so much as an actor…read more I'm constantly being challenged in ways I knew I needed and because of that I've been open to the feedback and taking the directions. They both are amazing. Not only are they great at teaching but they offer something I know I wouldn't get anywhere else, and that is mentor ship. Our classes are like a family and I couldn't be more grateful. He encourages us, and the majority of us are working actors, and if we weren't when we began training, we became one which is always the goal for us. We learn training and the business side. This class is for hungry actors that want to grow. They offer varied levels of training. It is not a place for cattiness and gossip, so if you thrive on that, don't bring it over here...it's a place filled with love and professionalism. Oh and I forgot to mention at any given time anything can happen, such as in class you can be booked on the spot...not something that is frequent but anything is possible....I've seen it with my own eyes. You also get to build your network really well. And what they teach is so relevant, from general castings, to callbacks, to what you do after you book. I can't say enough things about how great they are!!! The knowledge and relationships built are invaluable, but most importantly all of this is done in love. If I had to choose a coach in another lifetime, I'd choose them again :)

I Highly highly recommend his course. It is also the most reasonably priced!

In this scene study class, the focus is on telling the story. Dennis takes you from reading the…read morelines, to then feeling the emotions, and then he turns it all upside down to do it over again. I always feel like I struggle in acting classes because I get nervous and I don't want to be vulnerable; as a result, I seem rehearsed. I feel it and everyone around me can feel it. Working with Dennis, I am getting back to the truth of the scenes and to the truth of the characters. Class is a safe space where i feel comfortable to take risks and really explore the scene/monologue. Easy to find street parking. You will always have an opportunity to work in class. And you can't beat the price for a three week intensive!

Acting isn't what people think. Some folks do just learn their lines and speak them out loud…read moreconvincingly, and some who do are even able to build a career from it. But there is a deeper level of development available for those seeking it. Working with Dennis is a way to open the proverbial door to your own potential as a storyteller. Dennis accomplishes this not through teaching a particular 'method' but by finding out how you individually operate and then facilitating you becoming more accessible to yourself and the story at hand (in any medium). In LA there are a lot of coaches and teachers who are often used as padding for a resume....let me be clear, Dennis isn't interested in that and if you are you won't be satisfied. The intensive is a chance to work and grow, and sometimes that's uncomfortable. But 'if it tastes good it isn't medicine.' That said, I've laughed a lot in class too. You run the full gamut, and come out more available to yourself and your own abilities, and this all happens in a safe environment. An interesting side-effect is that an impressive ratio of Dennis's students book acting work. Make of that what you will. I can't recommend this experience enough!
