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. You'll get 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. After completing the workshop, select actors may be invited to continue in our Ongoing Beginners program

Those with prior film/tv experience may be eligible to purchase 1 class credit and join a Foundations/Core combined-level class -- email us to confirm eligibility first. After the session, your coach will advise you on an appropriate category and level to continue.

Actors then progress through the five categories of our Acting On-Camera 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 class credit. Advanced is intended as continuous on-camera technique and scene study training.

The new ongoing Advanced Auditioning class is for actors with prior training and industry experience at the Foundations level or higher. Headshot, resume, demo reel, and recent self-tapes are required to assess eligibility.

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.
