Our Class Schedule page has detailed descriptions of all classes and workshops.
Adults (18+) who are brand new to acting should start in our Acting On-Camera | Beginners Workshop, a 4-hour session that will introduce you to our unique and practical concepts of film/TV acting and give you lots of time working on scenes. If you're lightly trained in theater, or returning to acting from a break, this is the place to start too, as you'll be adequately challenged with a more experienced scene partner if needed. Once completing the beginner workshop, you may be invited to continue training in our Beginners ongoing program.
Those with prior experience may be eligible to purchase 1 class credit and join a Foundations & Core class -- your coach will advise you on an appropriate category and level to continue after that session.
Actors then progress through the five categories of our Acting On-Camera Technique training program, with the moderate Essentials levels, then moving through Intermediate, and Advanced levels, which are a hybrid of On-Camera Technique, Scene Study, Character Development, and Dramatic Improvisation.
Each program has multiple levels with 4 classes per level. Each class costs 1 credit. Advanced is intended as ongoing scene study training.
The new ongoing Audition Technique Workshop is for actors with prior training and industry experience at the intermediate level or higher. Headshot, resume, demo reel, and recent self-tapes are required to assess eligiblity.
Adult actors are strongly encouraged to sign up to attend a mini-workshop and observe one of our ongoing classes for free so you can see how we do things at The O.A.Studio!
Teen actors can join our Acting On-Camera for Teens (ages 14-18) program which is made up of beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
