Follow Your Dream With Acting Classes In Los Angeles

By Luisa Sharpe


It's almost unheard of for an actor to achieve overnight fame. Most of today's biggest movie and television stars got where they are only through years of struggling and very hard work. The secret is not to give up but many big-name actors also got a head start by taking acting classes in Los Angeles.

Being a good actor requires more than just talent or a pretty face. Just like a talented pianist has to take lessons to learn different techniques and then practice every day before he or she can become a concert pianist, you need to hone your skills as an actor. Good actors have learned and perfected the different techniques suited to the different genres of acting.

An example of the type of training you'd need is knowing how to adjust your technique according to the medium. On stage, the audience can't really appreciate your facial expressions unless these are quite exaggerated. Using these over-the-top expressions for a film close-up would look silly, however. In fact, a good film actor can convey a thought or an emotion with the smallest movement of facial muscles.

Other important aspects of your training are stage fighting and physical movement. You also need to learn how to use your voice properly. This not only means that you'll learn how to project so that the audience can hear you when you're on stage. It also means that you'll learn how to speak clearly rather than mumbling like Marlon Brando.

Drama training will also help you to broaden your range. You'll learn about the different approaches for different genres, such as comedy, serious drama, action and musicals. The more genres you can master, the better your chances of landing parts in films, TV shows or stage productions.

Depending on the drama school you attend and the type of course you choose, the curriculum will also include other aspects of life in show business. You may learn skills from make-up and costumes to the technical aspects of a production, such as sound and lighting. You may even learn how to go for auditions or handle interviews with the media.

The practical focus of acting classes is one of their biggest advantages. As part of your training, you'll get the chance to act in stage or film productions and gain valuable experience. This is also a great way to get exposure and for industry players such as casting agents to notice you.

There are drama schools all around the world but taking your classes in Los Angeles puts you right in the middle of the action. After all, this is where the film and television industries are centered. In fact, most schools in the city are located only a stone's throw from the Hollywood sign, so you'll never really lose sight of your dream of making it big.
