Art of Acting Studio Los Angeles

Opening night of the 2021 Professional Conservatory Solo Shows! Each group is being filmed by an incredible production company, and the recordings will be available for anyone to watch in a few weeks. We are so excited to share this work with you!

Many AoA and Adler students / alum are coming together to make this happen; check it out: We are very excited to invite you to the one-time-only performance of Almost, Maine on Zoom this Saturday March 6th at 12pm PST. This online, free and entirely live performance is directed by Vitória and produced by Nicole McCullough. It features a cast of 17 incredible actors from across the globe (you may have seen them on Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, Everything Sucks, Master of None..., AP Bio, Esto No es Berlin, as well as a number of short and feature films). We have spent the last couple of weeks working hard on putting up this timely play and we believe that our pandemic era world would greatly benefit from its singular take on love, pain and human connection.

Students will learn how to shape a monologue so that it has texture and character and clarity. Students will also learn what auditors are looking for, and how to make the audition experience one that they can control. In each class, students will share their monologues, get feedback on memorized pieces, and learn from watching others. Don’t ever get caught unprepared to show yourself at your best!
