LA On-Camera Training Center

Los Angeles is a film and television town, and approximately 80% of auditions are cast off of tape. So you have to be more than just a good actor, you have to be a great FILM AND TELEVISION actor. Being a good actor is merely the first step to becoming a working professional, and in Los Angeles, there are thousands of people in your category who are good. And so the question remains: how do you stand out?

You must become an Audition Master.

This course is designed to give you all the training and techniques that actors need for today’s film and television market. And most importantly, every student performs in front of the camera EIGHT DIFFERENT TIMES. All of L.A. On-Camera Training Center's classes are designed to recreate the real-world auditioning environment; Los Angeles is the professional arena for actors, and just like pro athletes, we need to train accordingly. We train you for the medium you are actually auditioning for. We critique you in that medium. And we feel this is the only way to work in this town. Plus, you'll get our secret weapon: a tool created to raise the stakes and physicality an extra notch to separate you from the pack.

We are working professional actors, so we know the real issues that actors face out in the trenches TODAY -- unlike other instructors, who may not have been inside an audition room in recent history. Let our over 25 years of experience guide you to the career that you always knew you could have, but weren't sure how to get!

Classes are held at 10545 Burbank Blvd. Suite 105
North Hollywood, Ca 91601
Only 12 students will be admitted in this class.

CHECK OUT THE SUCCESS JUST ONE OF OUR STUDENTS HAD THIS PILOT SEASON…

“I moved to Los Angeles from NYC with no Film/TV credits. After many auditions and only a handful of callbacks, I started to notice my work always translated to a call back if the producers were in the room-- but when it was on tape - I kept falling short.

Since taking Jamison’s classes, tested for a Series Regular on CBS (Open Books), I have booked an HBO Pilot (Enlightened), have had numerous call-backs and producer sessions this pilot season, including for a lead role in a feature film with Brittany Snow, and booked a National Commercial for ‘Hillshire Farms.’ Whether it’s a private coaching session with Jamison or one of his classes – this is the best investment any serious actor can make. My confidence and success this past pilot season is a direct result the skills I learned at LA On-Camera Training Center. Thank you so much!!!”

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!!!"
