Kids Act LA Making Acting Accessible to anyone who has Drive and Ambition

Kids Act LA Acting School is the perfect forum to enhance and embrace children who have what it takes to become an actor/actress. The school has differing programs that allows the student both choice and flexibility when choosing the class to suit their requirements...

The Faculty is composed of film/TV/commercial and print industry professionals, who have been working in the industry and teaching acting for the past five to ten years. The two heads of Kids Act LA faculty, along with our teachers, (all working actors), have an extremely identifiable track record in the industry.

Kids Act LA teachers are actors: (a series regular on Sabrina the teen-age witch), producers and directors (plastic surgery shows, TV series, full length motion pictures, book trailers, etc… And they are casting directors, who have cast a huge amount of television shows and films. (Final Destination movies, motion pictures such as Zoom with Courtney Cox and Tim Allen and many more)

A typical starter program at the school will focus on building a foundation for acting using training techniques found in the Theatre and using them for screen acting.
The classes will introduce the student to finding out what kind of actor/actress they really are and what they feel they have within themselves and then nurturing that talent. At the same time the students will focus on their emotional, technical and physical abilities as these all an essential part of an actor’s "toolkit".

Once the students have an understanding of the core techniques needed to act, they then focus on applying these skills/techniques on camera exercises, screen shoots and scene work in an attempt to develop their acting abilities.
As an actor’s body is deemed as their only instrument, students will learn how to tune their body, so as to be able to perform expertly where and when needed. In addition, the student will be asked to focus on their ability to relax and be tense when needed. The course will also focus on breaking down the students inhibitions and building their confidence and spirit.

As many believe that acting benefits far better from working with a live audience - the students schedule all lead up to a performance in front of a live audience.

Finding Real Emotion with Method Acting

Many actors pretend the emotions that their characters are feeling while others bring the real thing to their performance. When there is an actor who is faking the emotions that their characters are feeling, there is always an element of disbelief. Actors who pretend to feel what their characters are feeling are very apparent to the audience that is watching the performance. This can take a great deal of genuineness from the entire production when the actors use this approach in their performance. When method acting is used, however, there is a feeling of realism that is created by the actors in the performance. There are many acting coaches that teach this style of acting to their students. This helps to create actors who understand the truth of real emotion in their performances. In 1931, the Group Theater was created by Lee Strasberg, Cheryl Crawford and Harold Clurman. The Group Theater was designed to present a unified approach to performing the plays of that time. There w...

Acting classes at Kids Act LA teach Meisner acting offer foundational skills that can be developed over time. And, Meisner acting techniques can be used to improve your auditions as well.
