Los Angeles Acting Studio SD

We are actors, filmmakers, directors, writers and comedians. Veteran acting coach Andrew Benne moved his L.A. studio to San Diego in April of 2016. His San Diego acting classes are conducted at the same level of high standards taught to hundreds of celebrities and working actors since 1989. Mr. Benne believes the entertainment industry has changed and actors don’t necessarily have to live in New York or Los Angeles anymore, but deserve to be trained with all the same advantages. We are a Hybrid Meisner studio. Primarily rooted in the Meisner technique yet strongly influenced by the disciplines of Stella Adler, Uta Hagen, Eric Morris and legendary filmmaker John Cassavetes.
Los Angeles Acting Studio SD is San Diego’s premier acting school for film, television and stage. Offering real world acting classes, and private coaching to actors of all levels. The studio specializes in developing each actors “Unique Self”- transforming talent into confident working actors. We are a thriving community of supportive artists.

The Work

Free Working Audit with Andrew Benne

An interview with Andrew Benne and a class audit are required. In the free working audit, you will participate in the first half of class in moment to moment work, listening, responding and connecting.  This gives you a chance to work with Andrew Benne and other studio actors.

You will then observe the second half of the night which is the performance part of class.   Here you will witness real studio work and how the technique transcends. Finding the right school is very important. It is imperative to study in a studio where the coach, the actors and the work speaks to you personally.
