What Parents have to say about their experience with LCA...

"My son Andrew who took your on camera acting and improv classes last summer and really enjoyed the experience. In Feb. he auditioned for a part in the Corona del Mar High production of "Arsenic and Old Lace" and was cast as the character of Jonathon Brewster (the part he was hoping for). He never had an interest and/or performed in a play before and so we were very pleased. Opening night was Wednesday and in the program the kids listed persons they wanted to thank – and you were one of them on Andrew's (a very short list – family, director, teacher, and you)."

"Thank you for sending us the casting information--that was so kind. This is very exciting for us-- I have told myself that the opportunity to get involved in this industry would have to just fall in my lap. Then, voila! I received your e-mail. We will see what comes of this. I will keep you informed of any developments. Again thank you, you are such a good person."

What adult students have to say about their LCA experience...

“I liked how we were told what we were doing good and bad after the first run through on camera. I got to see what I was doing wrong and had a second chance to improve. I also learned from other people’s performances on-camera. And the tongue twisters were fun—I think I improved! And the improv exercises are fun too!”
~Lorraine Victoria Lopez

“Coming from a zero background in acting, I liked the fact that the class was very small and open to ideas. I felt that I could ask questions at my will. My least favorite thing was probably that it was only one day a week!”
~Leah Sakellarides

“I really appreciated the small class size which allowed for quick forming friendships and a very easy going feeling with everyone in class.”
~Joe Kersey

“Really getting down to business and learning practical skills I can really use was my favorite thing about the on-camera class. I loved being able to watch myself on video to see what I can improve on, it’s like having feedback right away.”
~Katie Weaver

“Being taped gave me a chance to see myself and what my strengths and weaknesses are.”
~Autumn Kaiser

“The f eedback and lectures were very helpful and I improved tremendously.”
~Justin David Bristol

“I like how we watch ourselves on tape because you can really see what you are doing wrong—but unlike auditions, you get to do it again and again until you get it right. I have really enjoyed these classes.”
~Christie Ledeker

“I really benefit when the instructor suggest other ways of acting out a scene. It really made me stop and think about my performance and how much more effective your work can be. Also watching other classmates perform and then watching it on video while the instructor critiques the performance—this is very helpful.”
~Evelyn Reese
