Actor Salon

 

Our salons have been called magical, transformative, supportive and kick-ASS.

You’re seated with six to eight actors around a table in our comfy room, sunlight streaming in the window; or maybe you’re outside at our decked-out cabana, a hot coffee, tea or gluten-free muffin at your side, laptops open, free WiFi abounds and there’s a palpable buzz in the air… you have this special time, once a week set aside to celebrate and focus on your career. Welcome to Actor Salon. After two and half hours, you’ll leave here with a short list of specific tasks that - if accomplished by the following week - will lead you to achieve your six-month career goals. We’ll see you, same time, same place, next week to do it again.

Brian and Brian’s Actor Salons provide a warm, focused environment where actors are pushed to claim their dreams and take the most fun and productive steps toward achieving them. This is your life, everyday… the on-going task of creating an acting career is a part of it.  We keep it effective, functional and fun by narrowing your to-do list and breaking it down in the steps that most need your attention.

Get ready for pilot season with Actor Salon's Business Week 2012, a week of classes and free panels and workshops that cover every area of your acting business.  Learn about creating an easy and practical monthly marketing plan, come to a free talk with headshot photographers Theo & Juliet, and take Brian & Brian's Master Class Foundations which gives you all the tools to take control of your career (and much, much more)!  Please check out the full week schedule and sign up at http://conta.cc/zhpKQp.

ACTOR'S GYM: Revolutionizing screen actor training

 

The Actor's Gym raises the bar in on-camera training. Every week, actors get sides from the best screenplays available. By emphasizing practical on-camera techniques and encouraging actors to make bold and specific choices, this class creates an environment for actors to excel on set. With weekly classes, our actors are able to view their scenes, break through habits, hone their craft and find new rooms for growth.

The time to build mastery is now!
 
Check out what our students have to say!!
"This is the best on-camera class I've taken in LA or NYC. Luis is brilliant, empowering, and wise. Being a masterful actor himself, he has a wonderful way of speaking with actors in an inspiring and affirming way . The structure of the class creates the perfect environment for exponential growth. My work has grown leaps and bounds since I started taking here and unlike many other classes, I have the footage to show for it. The production quality of the scenes that we shoot every week is top notch (miles above any of the student films I've done in LA - and unlike student films you don't have to hunt down the filmmaker to get the footage), the editing is high quality, and while I'm honing my acting skills all the time, I'm also becoming an expert at mastering new material in a short amount of time, managing scene preparation on set, and perfecting my ability to nail a scene in one take. Something I love about this class too is that the other students are fantastic, I find myself learning from them constantly. I highly recommend this class to any actor aspiring to up their game in a big way!!!"
