one of the best investments you can make in your career is to find the best acting class for you. Receiving constructive feedback, watching how others fail and succeed, stretching yourself beyond what you typically audition for… these things accelerate the learning process, inspire you to always be moving forward, and keep you sharp for when the time comes.
While the specifics of classes differ, all class levels can expect constructive feedback from Braden, group emotional exercises, and monthly “Challenge Weeks,” where everyone plays the same character in the same scene.
Admission into either class requires either a free 30-minute evaluation or an at-cost coaching.

These classes focus on developing an actor’s skills in Investigation, Personalization, and Exploration. Actors are welcome to present fully-prepared scenes in front of the class — for which a reader will be provided — or are free to use their time to focus on developing technique, emotional work, or accents. Following their personalized coaching, they may either continue the same work for the following week or move on to a new challenge.

This class deepens BLS technique fundamentals and introduces advanced concepts. Actors can work on auditions, chemistry reads, staged scenes with partners, emotional exercises, accent work, mimicry… everything is fair game. The standard is much higher here than in the Technique Class, so actors must be approved to join and continued participation depends on actors consistently bringing their best.
