A few of my old college buddies and I were just reminiscing about "the good old days" and I decided to reach out to Reel Memories and see if I could snag some more of their "old" dvd's. Not sure if'll pan out but the fact that I still want them nearly 20 years later should tell you how wonderful they are.

He's fast, he was very fair in his fee, he knows what he's doing and he has a customer for life. Thanks!

After graduating from UCLA Extension I felt very scattered, and a bit lost in Los Angeles as I…read morecontinued to seek my acting career, in 2016. I knew I needed to find a studio to be part of and practice the craft constantly. I audited so so so many studios around and found AMAW, which was the one that I was attracted to and intrigued by the most. I have been studying so many technics whether in Brazil or here in LA and I was still not feeling I was improving as I believed I could. The school helped me to regain my confidence because of the simplicity of the work they do. It is not easy, but it is very simple! All based on using the truth of who you are and what you are feeling in the moment applied to the script you have in hand. And, so... let the magic be revealed. There is so much I discovered about myself! This is the safest school you can get. The staff and teachers are phenomenal and they will take care of you! You will find lots of students shooting TV shows as well as working producers who partner with the school and build workshops where you can develop your professional skills and actually book work. I love and recommend the school to anyone, whether you are pursuing an acting career, or just looking to develop your power of expression, so you can thrive in sales, public speaking, or any other area of your interest. I made a lot of friends a had a lot of fun!

Wow, such an upgrade on their former Melrose Ave location. This bespoke facility is bang smack in #Hollywood- you can see the sign- and surrounded by Studios' studios- which gets the blood going! The streets around here are quiet & great for #skateboarding and it's on good bus routes too. I'm intending to really up-the-ante on my #acting experience, auditions, training & to 'Book the fu*King job' (as Mr Meindl says in his book, one of a number!), in 2022. In 2021, I so loved being surrounded by (transmasc) #actors on our retreat with @michaeldcohen. Now I'm hungry to train weekly. The theatre studio space here is GREAT! I want in! There's some nice communal spaces too to hang and get to make new friends. Background.. I post on my IG @angelsareintersex about the mental health crisis in our #intersex youth shows how important it is to increase visibility of Out & Proud intersex people. Until there are lots of healthy, happy, young intersex actors filling the acting schools & #casting rooms of Hollywood, #RiverGallo is our great hope for global success. And I'm representing the older, been around the block a few times, got the scars, guard! Anthony Meindl is a proud member of our LGBTQiA+ community and this feels like a very safe space to come as a non-binary, trans & intersex person. PS all genders WCs too!

Audits are free and really give you an idea if the class will be a right fit. Richard has a theatrical background and uses this knowledge to explore the depth of human experience that lies not only within the theatrical canon, the tv and film canon but within ourselves. The work is done at each individuals pace and is compassionate but honest and transformational. Classes are now continuing online and though different, have enormous benefit as well.

As a coach, he leverages his life and career experiences, as a classical-contemporary stage director, and observes...you. He guides you to the roots of your behavior, blocks or ticks, then prescribes Stretchwork that directly expands those areas producing results that are often immediate and permanent. As a master craftsmen, he trains you to use his Trigger Technique, keeping you present and working moment to moment; and his Sense-Memory tools tap into your own extensive library of experiences, creating memories and texture for your character that are uniquely your own. Working with Richard Seyd, has made me a significantly better actor. My bookings are consistent and my auditions upgraded to larger roles almost overnight. Do yourself a favor and become a student.

I Remember Dave Madden walking into the class one day and saying he had a few extra seats in his voiceover class. I didn't take it but I have regretted it ever since.

(I'm a week after Yelper) Today's was "How to Package and Sell a TV Show", and the guest speaker was John Smith from HopLite. This guy is a BEAST. One of the biggest kudos I can give, is that John is secure enough to share ACTUAL, WORKING, USEFUL (insert other positive adjectives here) insider information! And some of it was the total opposite of the information that we first timers have been getting. Not only did he tell us "what", he told us "why" and it all made total smack-on-the-forehead--aha!" sense. Really glad I found this group, and am very much looking forward to attending future events.

For my own safety and the teacher acting extremely unprofessional and unethical in my experience I left the class and got a prorated refund of the 8 class package I had bought online from a third party discount vendor. I don't think anybody should be treated like that especially in an acting class. I have had good results with other acting schools in the area. 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 can never trust Stella Adler schools or their technique ever again.

I was so intrigued that I decided to sign up for their four week online program, taught via Zoom. They also have in-person classes taught in their Atlanta office, which are taught over a long weekend. The classes are kept small so that everyone has a chance to participate and provide feedback to their classmates. Each session is jam-packed and well-organized. I was glad that I took it over a four week period so that I could fully digest the material. They also offer monthly Zoom workshops to anyone who has ever taken the class, as a way to follow up and stay connected. While the classes are not cheap, they do offer many payment options. I found the classes to be well worth it. They opened my eyes to many facets of my personality that I wasn't aware that I was projecting into the world. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who would like more insight into themselves. The class atmosphere was very supportive and a lot of fun.

As many of you probably know, the way you see yourself and the way the world sees you are two very different things. This awareness is especially important for actors. I recently completed a 4 week course for his imaging process. Sam and his teaching assistant, Robyn, were very involved and helpful with each student in the class. His office manager, Ken, was also very helpful. I know Sam Christensen has thousands of students, I have no idea how his staff treats every single one of these students like an old friend! Sam offeres FREE preview classes regularly. To be honest, I attended a preview class and still wasn't sure what he did! I've heard so many wonderful things from professional contacts that I knew I had to take class with him. They also offer easy payment plans.

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.

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.
