G. Charles Wright's acting technique class is the real deal. He has this rare ability to make you feel immediately comfortable while still pushing you to be better, and that combination is gold. His feedback is honest, and incredibly helpful, and always comes from a place of wanting to bring out the best in every actor. What really stands out is how much G clearly knows, his knowledge of the craft and how generously he shares that knowledge. He breaks things down in a way that actually clicks, and makes perfect sense, like "wow how could I have not thought about that ?" And you walk out of class feeling more confident, more focused, and genuinely inspired. On top of all that, he's got a seriously handsome, charismatic presence that makes the whole experience even more memorable. A true five-star class and an easy hands down YES recommendation ! read more

Love G and his technique - he helped me feel more confident in audition rooms and learn how to break down sides to quickly and effectively prepare my audition. Plus it's a great community of other like minded actors. G is positive and uses humor to help you feel upbeat about the work! read more

This is one of the best classes I have taken in LA. With the new way the casting world is headed this is the best way to have an advantage on what to expect and how to do it in a practical way! G Charles Wright is amazing. read more

I can't say enough positive things about this studio. Not only did my experience help to simulate actual audition scenarios, but I was able to meet other working actors as well. G. Charles Wright is a welcoming, thoughtful, wonderful teacher and person. Could not recommend highly enough! read more

Thank you for this safe space to fail and play and work. I came into the class with a personal goal of challenging myself to trust the work even when, like some actual auditions, I don't have much prep time or regular practice working on zoom or self tapes. What I didn't expect was how inspired and delighted I'd be to watch each person work each week, no matter what level they are in their growth. Being equally blown away to watch a newer actor from a smaller region with less access to LA as if watching an old pro revitalized my relationship with the younger me who started in Cleveland and Pittsburgh devouring my work with joy. Being in John Keating's class reminded me of the importance of focusing on the joy and the keeping a beginners mind. I really appreciate his sensitivity and ability to respond to the needs of each participant. Thank you so much. I recommend this class continually to everyone, and especially to any actor who gripes about changes in the business. This class is perfect for taking the reigns and turning resistance into humor and an opportunity to learn. read more

As actors, we have a lot of options when it comes to classes in Los Angeles. I have taken a lot of them in my 12 years of living here. John is a fantastic teacher. John is a working actor so he has a lot of insight. He also challenges me to be a better actor and I love that about these classes. You get to work every week in a very productive, positive environment and sharpen your skills. That being said, I don't recommend this class to people who have never acted before. This class should only be taken if you have some acting foundation already. If you have at least some foundation... you should definitely sign up! I highly recommend it. :) read more

Without a doubt, no class has done more for my career than any other class/workshop. I was doing some student films, and productions that barely had a budget before G's class. After, I have booked network television, movies, and commercials. I would not be where I am today without this class. Highest recomendation!! read more

This class is such a fun and career enhancing experience. The actor's are strong so it is entertaining to be in, and the attention to detail in fine tuning a read is what I find extremely valuable! They are very supportive and help you get to the next level in your auditions. read more

Best audition class in LA! This class has all the answers to learning how to audition and everyone is super supportive and highly knowledgable. My audition skills have skyrocketed since I started taking this class and yours will, too. Really really good. read more

So, Ok I have been at this for a long time and sometimes you're busy working and auditioning and sometimes you're not. What do you do when things are slow? Well, if you are smart you go to G's class! Great way to stay sharp between auditions. I had one of those slow periods recently and not only did he help me to shake off the rust as things ,thankfully, got busy again but I relearned things I should have known and had forgotten! So glad I got to relearn that lesson in safe space rather then at an audition! Now that's a good teacher. Plus it's fun! No drama here. Well except in the scenes. Hmm now that I am thinking about it its not just for slow periods. Its a great way to keep in shape when you are busy as well. In other words take this class. Oh one last thing. John is also a great teacher. I joined the class because I had auditioned for G off and on over the years and knew he know his stuff so when John came in I didn't know what to expect. Then he started and I thought holy crap this guy knows his stuff! So I would recommend both. read more

G is a one of those people that truly GETS and loves actors. When I started his class I had been in a long slump and jobs are starting to come back now. This class really changes your auditioning skills and your confidence. Also the students are all really cool people and it's a nice supportive community. I wish I had found the class years ago and I have vowed to stay forever or until I get a series. Oh! Also! It's not ridiculously expensive like a lot of other places! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this studio! G and John are phenomenal teachers and their classes are fun and exactly the audition workout I need. If you're not feeling confident in your audition skills, they will straighten you out and help you find confidence in yourself again. If you're a seasoned actor, you should still take class here because you will get an exceptional, no BS skills workout. Keep your instrument tuned!!! read more

A wonderful class where you learn by watching others and doing! I walked in feeling nervous on my first day but all that way out the door when I met John - completely felt safe and was able to let go. He was always available and made time to see me when I had a last minute audition and walked me through it. HIGHLY recommend this class and course! It is completely worth it :) read more

I took two classes with G. before I had even a co-star credit IIRC. I took careful notes, then condensed them to a one-pager that I use to this day, and now I'm hunting and landing some guest stars. 1) G is FUUUUN. He is VERY funny, LOVES TV and film, has acted quite a bit himself, and respects the FUN of acting and loves to geek out about about shows and movies. 2) About the actual work, he is no-nonsense, has a very, very clear, intuitive system designed around questions you answer about your job in a scene. HE lets you know when and where you fall short, but when you nail it, he loves it and laughs and celebrates your success. Things are never gloomy or ponderous around G. He's always entertaining. 3) I like classes you can actually enjoy, and learn from watching your classmates. Show business to me is about joy and fun, but if you don't realize that you have to pitch a strong game in a hugely competitive situation, you're kidding yourself. Well, G somehow both holds you to that standard but gives you a way to approach it with cheer and good humor. G is a very optimistic guy, but expects you to do the work and holds you to a high standard. One of the best, brightest, most distinctive teachers I've had. read more

I love John Keating's class. I used to get so nervous at theatrical auditions and put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself to book the job. This class gave me the tools to go into my auditions feeling confident and grounded. I've taken a lot of acting classes in LA over the years and this one is by far the best. I've been in class for several months and use it as my weekly "audition workout". John is an incredibly supportive teacher. I even hire him for private coaching. Cannot recommend it enough! read more

G's class has set me up for success time and time again. At key moments in my career I have gone in and booked the job because I was ready. G's class made me ready. read more

I love this studio! I've learned so much about auditioning and the industry in this class. G's insights are so valuable and John has a great eye for what works. I feel much more confident as an actor and I really appreciate the support and positive mindset. I'd definitely recommend taking class here! read more

This is an amazing class! So much fun! And such a positive and lovely environment. I was really pushed to try new things and get out of my comfort zone! I saw myself grow a lot from this class. And it's nice to have a casting director's opinion because they know what they are looking for from someone in an audition. I took class with John mostly! He is such a great teacher and you can tell he really cares about his students! Would recommend this class to anyone looking for audition technique! read more

G and John are the best! This class taught me how to audition and keeps teaching me how to audition better! And I love that they use current TV material every month. They always have wisdom that I need to hear. read more

This is the best acting studio I've ever worked with. I haven't worked with G personally, but I've worked with John, and he is amazing. His energy in class is contagious, and you can tell he puts his heart and soul into everything he does. If you're an actor looking to work on your audition skills, whether you're new or a seasoned veteran, this is the class for you. I go in every single week knowing I'm walking into a safe space where I can practice my craft and better my skills. The environment is fun and uplifting, but never feels like wasted time. I learn something new every single week, and it's because John really takes his time, listens to his students, and provides incredibly valuable feedback that makes you leave feeling even better than you did when you entered. I will always highly recommend working with John and G. read more

John Keating is a really great teacher who is invested in his students and focuses on their individual strengths. The classroom is a positive, supportive space, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their audition technique! read more

I've been in this class for a few years and it has been a gamechanger! I use it as an ongoing audition class since auditioning is a whole other skill that takes discipline and practice and I like to keep that muscle warm. I used to get so nervous in my auditions and sometimes simply the physicality of doing your scene in the room straight to camera with just a reader was baffling. This class takes all the questions out of how to prepare and do your audition. We work sides from shows that are actively casting, so the material is always fresh and relevant, and unlike a lot of acting and audition classes, this class has a great focus on the dayplayer roles: the elusive co-stars and guest stars. We also have the option to coach our current auditions in class when they come up, which is such a great perk! Since I have been improving my auditions with this class, I booked a role on Modern Family (where the writers even ADDED lines for me on set!) and I now audition regularly for network and cable shows. I am confident in my auditions and know that I am constantly improving. And *everyone* in my class over the years has been steadily building their resumes and bookings as well. John and G are the best! read more
