Actors Creative Workshop A good choice with best prices


Sharing good actor workshops in LA to meet real casting directors of TV and film.
So many Moms and actors ask me how they start their acting career.
You must be in a good acting class. Go see my teacher Michelle Danner at Edgemar Studios in Santa Monica. She is amazing!!
Then you must meet casting directors and agents. Get a great head shot that represents who you are: your personality and the person you can really play in a TV role or film role now. If you are uncomfortable as leading lady who does films in scantily clothes then go for the drama real leading lady/male in intelligent/smart/drama roles. If you are a character start with that. They are all respectable roles and you can branch out once you do what you do great! They want you. Like Johnny Depp is Johnny Depp. How great is his personality as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean! Or Reese Whiterspoon in Legally Blonde!
Here is another choice for some good workshops.
They will beat anyones price by $1. Remember check out packages to save more money!
This is the May schedule for classes in LA.
I hope this helps!!!
