Reccomendation for acting classes in LA?
We are bring my son out to LA for part of pilot season from feb.4 - feb. 18th. He already has had an agent for about a year. we will be talking to potential managers as well. we are looking for some acting classes as well and are reaching out to get some suggestions. we are from Olathe KS. alot of the schools (from what I have seen) do not take kids younger than 10 yrs old. he has an acting coach locally and has taken lessons for about a year. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Rain city,

Does anyone have some good recommendations for acting classes not aimed at teens or children? I know some of those teachers have scene study classes for adults but not all do and I was hoping to get more options.

So far I've worked with Will Wallace and Amy Lyndon. I thought they were both pretty good (I like Amy Lyndon's class a lot) but I've been with Amy long enough that I need to move on to get more training on my resume.

Wow, that's great for your son. Having his local acting coach and lesson for a year but still in a young age, you sure have supported your son. Keep it up kellen michael's dad. Good job.

Sorry to be seeing this so late and thank you for mentioning me. I do offer classes and private coaching for kids and teens here in Los Angeles and provide Skype sessions for those of you that are out of town. I also have a book on Kindle.

Please let me know if I can answer any questions.


Sincerely,

I'm another Tess Kirsch fan! She is wonderful with kids and teens, but also offers an adult class.
