my Son JaiVontrel is so interested in acting How can I get him involved?
There are so many answers to that question! IF you live in L.A. you can start with acting classes at school, school plays, etc. and then move on to professional acting classes, auditions, head-shots and so on. Feel free to come in to the Playground to see if we can help!
Hello Gary Spatz’s
Im relocating to L.A. From Chicago, I have some acting experience.but I’m looking to build and own my craft. What action must I take to be enrolled into your institution
Hi there! If you want to attend the conservatory you first have to come in for an audition. So, when you get to L.A. (or before) give us a call and we can set up a time to meet with you. After that, we can discuss the options available to you. Unfortunately, we have to meet and evaluate every potential student before we can make any promises about enrollment. Can’t wait to meet you!
When are classes starting in OC? If my child is now enrolled in your LA location can we transfer to the OC location?
I’ve sent your question in to the office – you should get an email or phone call in the next couple of days, or ask this weekend. I’m sure that they will accommodate you if they can.
If any body wants become a professional actor/actress, He/She needs a good acting courses.
I love and like this post regards to acting institute.
Thanks
What if i live in nyc ?
There are lots of great opportunities in NY – start with Google and look for acting classes. You’ll do fine.
I live in a small town where there isn’t actors or actresses ,but acting is my passion it’s what I live for. What can I do ?
Look for any opportunities to act in your town, Local plays, school plays, etc. If you work hard and have what it takes you will get more opportunities.
