The Actors' Boot Camp®

At the one acting school in Los Angeles that doesn't just lead to more acting classes.

The Acting Corps - Los Angeles acting school

The Acting Corps is known the world over as the Los Angeles acting school that originated The Actors' Boot Camp® - the first and only true short-term acting cnservatory in The United States. Our classes are small, our instructors are currently working actors, and we give you what you pay for - practical acting tools that tear down your inhibitions and allow you to fearlessly pursue both craft and career.

The Actors Boot Camp, which has started and revived many careers, proudly boasts 1,200 graduates listed on IMDB. The great teachers of the past, Sanford Meisner, Michael Chekhov, and Stanislavski inspire us to do what they did - investigate, innovate, and don't look back. We hope to see some of you on your path to creative courage and personal greatness.

Why The Acting Corps?

Question: It's in Hollywood and probably everywhere else, and Los Angeles acting classes or acting schools abound - how do you choose among them? Do you go for the school with the most movie stars in their storied past? Or do you go for the Hollywood acting school that promises, for a small sum, to introduce you to casting directors, agents, and maybe a studio head or two?

So how do you choose?

Here's the deal. Before making a decision, know what you're after - instant celebrity or a new life as a creative artist? If you choose the latter (good choice), what sort of time do you want to invest in your new life, and how much effort? If you're only looking for an acting class one night a week or a place to hang out for two to four years while you tell your friends and parents that you're devoting yourself to your craft (the lengthier version of procrastination) - The Acting Corps is not for you.
