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.

I first started studying with Will back in 2010 and then came back to his class in 2014. In that…read morefour year period his class has grown exponentially from one night a week to five classes a week, including two master classes. I think the growth of the company is a real credit to Will and his coaching. A lot of actors in LA are often concerned with technique, maybe to a fault. I think Will's expertise comes from being an ACTUAL filmmaker. Not just one who made one or two films twenty years ago, but one who continually churns out movies in the industry and coaches as a director would coach on set! Not only that, but Will really cares about his students like his own family and is always doing everything in his power to make sure they succeed. That includes, but is not limited to inviting some of his various connections to class to watch his students perform, or helping guide students to find agents/managers, as well as making it possible that should a project ever come up, allowing students to help/work on set. There really is no other acting class in LA like Will's and I would recommend it to anyone who is tired of the cattle-call that Hollywood is known for. Why not learn from someone who knows what they're talking about and is constantly WORKING.

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!

I took many acting classes, courses, and private coaching sessions, but I became frustrated with…read morefeeling like I wasn't progressing. With every class I took I felt like I was starting from the beginning. I realized I didn't have a foundation and I wanted to find a program that would teach me a structured acting approach that I could develop skills from. I found the Meisner Center after it was recommended to me by a friend who is a working actress. She informed me that it was the best training she had received out of all the programs she had taken. After graduating from the Professional Acting Certificate Program a year and a half later I could not be more satisfied with my training. This program was exactly the professional training I was looking for. The Meisner technique challenged me to be fully present, to connect deeply with my scene partners, and to respond authentically in the moment. Rajiv's teachings were practical and applicable, enabling me to bring depth and truth to my performances. Ranjiv constantly pushed our class to realize our own potential, and helped me discover many different aspects of humanity, interaction and myself. I enjoyed the many opportunities to work with my classmates and witnessed remarkable growth in my whole class. I highly recommend this program.

But yeah I refuse to work with that specific instructor/actor anywhere and especially if they were on set. I hope that they got the help that they needed at that time.

I've been in Brads group class for over a year now and I still feel like I'm improving every class…read more I now actually love online acting classes because it has helped so much with my selftapes and comfort in online callbacks . Brad not only gives support in acting itself but also in supporting your career, I started with old headshots and a dream and just quit my job to pursue acting full time. Not every acting technique works for every actor but the Heller Approach works for me. Starting this class was hands down the best career decision I ever made.

I have had an incredibly positive, fulfilling, and creative experience with Brad, and believe made…read moremany breakthroughs in my acting abilities during my time there (which I plan to continue). Brad certainly takes a unique approach to his craft and really breaks down the essence of what it is to play a character, while encouraging / facilitating his students to dive deep into their roles to bring truth and believability into our work. Brad also isn't afraid to "tell it how it is" and doesn't sugar coat things, which I greatly appreciate... it's not a pat-on-the-back course, but rather a deep dive into the intricacies of each student's abilities, strengths, and areas for improvement. At the same time, however, Brad is very approachable, kind, and creates a class environment that is very conducive to learning, and not intimidating... He lets you spread your wings (whether you are new, or are a seasoned & experienced actor). I feel much more prepared and confident going into auditions and kicking off projects following Brad's courses, and will continue to use Brad's method of acting and taking his lessons as I progress into the future. Thank you, Brad!! Highly recommend!!

WOW, how Lucky am I? After being back in LA for 6 months, being fortunate enough to meet and start…read moreworking with Christian Martin as well as the other Actors. This being my first acting class, I'm realizing how difficult and challenging acting truly is. Threshold Acting Studio is a safe place to learn and grow as an Actor. Christian provides the tools, experience, and a whole lot of passion for the craft. It makes me feel like I stumbled upon a goldmine of talent. How Lucky am I.

I am unsure of how to describe my experience so far; I have been studying with Christian for six…read moremonths. What I can tell you is that before I started Threshold, I had already quit acting in my heart. I was not looking for a class and I met Christian randomly. After a very brief conversation there were two words that stuck with me and simmered in my heart: imagination and intuition. These two ideas I have never tried in my work and the scary fact that I forgot how to do it! Christian also stresses to trust the language. This was also a foreign idea to me. Since I've been working out here, I have learned what it really means to use these tools. I am eager when I get new material where in the past I would feel a sense of obligation to give a result, and feared it. I now enjoy spontaneous and unexpected moments where in the past I would be disappointed in myself for "messing up". The process has been redefined for me and it is always active. This is the part I have enjoyed the most. Christian pushes each one of us in unique ways and right when you think you're done, he will push you again. Christian is clearly doing something different that I have ever experienced. When I can one day describe it in words I will write a new review but for now all I can say is that I truly feel I am learning from a master.
