Acting Classes / Workshops
Hone your Craft
There are numerous classes and studios out there, but If you are in college, your school probably has a course or group available. If you are past 'college-age', heck with your local City College for low-cost adult acting classes. When you are at one of our Demo Reel shoots or at one of the SDFilmmakers events, you often hear the question; "who do you study with?" It's a good question to ask any actor. You may just find out which is the best - and worst schools to connect with.

Finding the right actors to study with can be a challenge but the key is; get started somewhere. Most sucessful actors have studied with numerous studios and schools. Acting, like performing music, is both a craft and an art.
