L.A. Acting Workshop

OUR PHILOSOPHY

L.A. Acting Workshop began over twenty-five years ago in Los Angeles, California with the vision of training aspiring actors to compete successfully for television and film roles.  Under the efforts of Amy Allen, Director, with over thirty years of entertainment industry experience, the workshop has grown by leaps and bounds, eventually making its way to Orlando, Florida where it enjoys the reputation of being Orlando’s top professional workshop for on-camera training.

 

Today, L.A. Acting Workshop embodies everything that one needs to succeed in today’s highly competetive acting market.  It is a full-service house, offering turn-key solutions for actors of all ages.  Their concept is threefold: offer the training and skills needed to prepare, inspire and encourage the passion within, and offer the keys needed to open the door and make the dream a reality.

 

Training is the foundation upon which the workshop was built.  Classes are offered for adults, professionals, teens, and children in acting skills, on-camera audition technique, commercials, voice-over technique, and improvisation.  Instructors at L.A. Acting Workshop are highly experienced in their respective fields and bring the best to those wanting to refine and polish their given talent. 

 

Passion and inspiration are the driving forces for success in the entertainment industry.  It is widely known that to “succeed” in film and television is a rare occurrence, and most actors spend their lives searching for their “big break”.  L.A. Acting Workshop’s The Backstage Tour, is a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the Hollywood acting scene, to help make that success a reality.  Now embarking on its fifth year, the tour has inspired many actors from around the country to pursue their dreams while also providing a realistic look at the obstacles that may lie in their paths.  As well as back-lot studio tours and live show tapings, the jewel of The Backstage Tour’s crown is the opportunity to audition live in front of many of Hollywood’s finest talent agents, casting directors, and managers under the guidance of renowned L.A and New York acting coach Bob Luke.  These professionals offer their explicit guidance, advice, and insight into the workings of the industry.  Participants not only receive the opportunity to showcase their talents, but are also given time to network with the people who can make a difference in their careers.  While thousands of starving actors flock to Hollywood seeking a chance for even a simple interview with these “movers-and-shakers”, The Backstage Tour allows you to move to the front of the line without the usual related stress and expense.

           

            To help develop the tools and experience you will need to work in a major market such as L.A. or New York we have developed Onstage – Orlando to give actors the opportunity to audition live for Florida’s top talent agents, managers, and casting directors. Under the direction and coaching of John DiDonna and through the venue of the Working Film Actor Level II, we now offer frequent meet-and-greet audition showcases to assist the actor in achieving success in our local television, film, commercial, stage, and industrial markets. Onstage – Orlando is here to accelerate your purpose and passion to obtain your dream as a working film and stage actor.

 

L.A. Acting Workshop is a complete source for everything an actor needs to be successful.  More information can be obtained by calling Amy Allen at the L.A. Acting Workshop (407) 876-0006, or by visiting their websites: www.LAActing.com, and www.BackstageTour.com.
