I came to Just Be Acting studio with no film experience, and no idea how to get into the industry…read more I was looking for guidance, and I am so glad I took their classes! With Katie and Tyler's teaching I have seen so much growth in my acting I didn't realize possible. Each class is smaller and intensive, every person gets thorough time with the teachers, and very personalized critique. You leave each class feeling like you have improved! Without Katie and Tyler, I would have never gotten to meet working professionals all across the board in the industry, learned steps to take action in my career, and knew what skill sets I needed to succeed. I am quite thankful for the growth this studio has provided me.

I wish I came here sooner! A few months ago, I had taken tons of Voice Over and Commercial specific…read moreclasses but was chomping at the bit to take a solid on camera acting class. Everyone I asked for recommendations, from casting directors to agents to actors, ALL recommended Lesly Kahn. But I was still hesitant - it seemed too good to be true. So I signed up for intro courses and free audits all over town to scope out which acting studio I connected with the most. After taking the intro class with Lesly herself, I immediately knew I had found my home. The other studios couldn't hold a candle to her. At other studios all they did was talk about themselves for 2 hours and then look at your resume and tell you what class to take. If you didn't have any TV credits, they immediately shoved you in the beginning class without ever actually seeing you act. But not Lesly! In her intro class you get on your feet and perform a scene with her coaching you. She doesn't just judge you based on your resume. She sees your potential. I loved her studio, her style, her energy, her mind, everything! After the intro I immediately signed up for the Comedy Intensive with Tyler. I truly loved every minute of the Intensive and rehearsing with my fellow actors (the class is 3 Saturdays in a row but you are encouraged to rehearse every day for 3 hours). Tyler is so incredibly smart, talented, and specific in his coaching. He expects everyone to bring their A game, and when you truly put in the work, it shows! At the end of the 3 weeks, I felt like my acting had traveled light years. I am ready to go out now and slay every audition with confidence and specificity! Can't wait to continue my journey with Lesly Kahn!

I took a weekend Mocap class & Beast Mode 1,2, and 3. The classes were absolutely packed with info and insight (TJ and his team have decades of experience) but were balanced in a way that was easily digestible and made them feel incredibly fun and challenging. The classes I took happened to be relatively small from 4-10ish people. Our ages ranged from early 20s to late 40s, and experience levels from complete beginner with no prior classes or experience, to working professional actors. Everyone felt comfortable and TJ worked with us where we were. I will say expect to be challenged. You will learn a lot of new information even if you are experienced. For those who aren't experienced or get anxious, this is definitely a safe space to learn new information and you will not ever be torn apart or picked on. TJ is phenomenal at critique. He will focus closely on your performances so he can help you improve and give you an edge in auditions. Just be ready to give it your all!

His classes were not only fun and incredibly informative but I also love the way he teaches. He delivers clear feedback in an encouraging way while also remaining open to your own interpretation of something. I like that he fosters your instinct as an artist and works with your point of view. It's a fine balance! When I learned he started an in-person Acting Technique class, I knew I had to give it a try. His VO classes are amazing so I figured this class would be too. I was right! I've been going for almost 6 months and I've learned so much. The class is so unique in that it touches upon several exercises and techniques to give you a well-rounded experience. There is scene work, yes, but that's just one of a number of things we work on. There are different improv exercises, character work assignments, mock-auditions, and scene work that is rehearsed and ultimately filmed. I can really see improvement when looking back at my earlier clips in class. I HIGHLY recommend checking out his classes, especially his Acting Technique class. David is a wonderful, encouraging teacher with a wealth of knowledge and the ability to give clear direction while fostering your own unique voice.

I've trained with several respected acting teachers over the years, and Gregory Berger's intensive was a breakthrough for me. He helped me find a missing piece in my work that I'd been searching for, and I left every class with practical tools I could immediately apply. The studio has an incredibly supportive atmosphere, the feedback is thoughtful and specific, and every instructor I worked with truly cared about helping each actor grow. I'm grateful for the experience and excited to continue training at Berg Studios.

4 out of 5: Decent Audit, But Be Cautious…read more I audited a class at Berg Studios and thought it was okay overall. The instructor seems to know his craft and there are definitely some solid basics you can take away. That said, the class leaned pretty heavily into the sales pitch, which is always a bit of a red flag for me. It felt more like a "get in, get what you need, get out" kind of place. If you're curious, it's worth checking out for the fundamentals, but I wouldn't recommend getting too comfortable. Like many LA acting classes, there's a risk of getting stuck in a cycle that isn't always about growth. Take what serves you and move on.

Honestly, this was the best acting/coaching/commercial class I've ever taken. It was so much more than a commercial workshop - I feel like David gave us tools to not only do well in auditions, but ways to look at acting and the industry as a whole in a more positive, fun, sustainable way. I left with a notebook full of practical advice and tools for every part of the process including: -what to look for in a good headshot -how to structure a resume and what to include/omit -what to wear to different types of auditions -what your type is -where to go for a good photographer -how to get an agent and which agencies are trustworthy -what to do in awkward interview auditions -how to come up with funny buttons that seem natural -how to slate like a pro -where to go for improv classes and further education -videos of yourself with Davids kind suggestions for improvement -how to do a group audition without being awkward - go to topics when a CD says to improvise -and the biggest part- how to get out of your head and stay positive and see the entire audition process as fun and bring a spiritual element to everything I was honestly so nervous to go to any type of acting class again- I've been out of the game for 5+ years and felt defeated when I quit - and after this one day, I feel not only confident enough to try it again, but like I have a secret road map and built in cheerleader from here on out. I literally can't say enough good things - if you're looking for a commercial class, this is the one to go for. Worth every penny and so much more.
