Professional Master Class at The Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio now auditioning for Fall Program

Here's what some industry people who have worked with the class have had to say:

Damona Resnick: Head of Diversity Talent Development NBC: The Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio is one of the premium places in Los Angeles to perfect the craft of performance . I have seen her work wonders with students from beginner to professional.

Michael Suscy: Director: Grey Gardens with Dru Barrymore and Jessica Lange: EMAS has incredibly talented actors who perform with great professionalism.

Paul Weber: Head of Casting Paramount Pictures: EMAS has a very talented and versitile group of actors. Their training is top notch.

The GOAL:

To have talented and well trained actors work together to challenge and inspire their creativity and craft. This class is designed for those who are pursuing acting professionally and want to be at the top of their game during this critical time in the casting season.

The PHILOSOPHY:

We believe that the more often an actor is working, the more likely they will be to give their best performance at the most critical times (i.e. auditions). This class makes sure that professional actors have the opportunity to work with other well trained, experienced actors to keep their skill set sharp, and to work with a top L.A. teacher to continually hone and improve their craft.

The FORMAT:

It is a short 12-week program that will begin September 17th. We will tackle 3 scenes in that time following a traditional rehearsal process of table read, coaching session, director's session, and then performance. The class is open to observers to make actors comfortable with putting their work up in front of ANYONE. Observers might include other EMAS students, faculty, or industry professionals. Members of this class must audition with a monologue, and sides, which will be emailed to them 24 hours before their audition. The
