I need a beginners acting class!
I have been recommended Lesly Kahn because I am interested in comedy, but feel I am not ready to bring in a none-cold scene to present to her.

A class that will help me find the right monologues for me would be extra great!

YOU have to find the right monologues. Get to the library, get online and look, only YOU can find a monologue. It takes a lot of searching and leg work on your own and that is a lot of this business. Go out there and look. It took me as long time but eventually I found several.
I have never had anyone find a scene or monologue for me. EVER.

Here are some of the best schools in LA:

Cold Reading/Auditioning (Ranked from Top to Bottom)
-Margie Haber
-Fred Tucker (Aaron Speiser Studios)
-Brian Reise

Commercials (Ranked from Top to Bottom)
-Hey, I Saw Your Commercial!
-Chris Game
-Stuart K. Robinson
-Carolyne Barry

Improv (All four are great)
-Groundlings
-Second City
-Upright Citizens Brigade
-Improv Olympic

Scene Study/Acting (It varies. Some schools are not for everyone. Chubbuck, Eric Morris, and Howard Fine are not for people who aren't fans of Strasberg or Uta Hagen (ie. affective memory and substitution.) Playhouse West, Joanne Baron/DW Brown, and Acting Corps are more Meisner oriented. Try to audit these places and make sure if they're for you or not.

-Beverly Hills Playhouse
-Howard Fine
-Stella Adler
-Ivanna Chubbuck
-Joanne Baron/D.W. Brown
-Tom Todoroff
-Playhouse West
