i have yet another question about my acting future...?

Question

How do I find an acting coach or private acting classes? And how do I know if they are any good and can really help me to succeed?

Answer 1

Pretty much every actor and actresses started out in small plays.

Answer 2

To the three people who answered this: Stop wasting people's time. You don't know what you are talking about.

To answer your question, you are probably better served by taking a regular class. I've found that I learned more by interacting with and watching other actors. If you want private coaching a lot of acting teachers offer it. There are bound to be some decent classes and teachers where you live. If you look hard enough you'll find them.

Answer 3

Just look in the phone book. There are some people who can help you choose. That is what I do. I help aspiring actors achieve their goals. I can tell by the way they teach and what they teach. Even with that sometimes you cannot tell. One of the aspiring actors I advise went to a highly regarded acting school in NYC this summer. ( I advised against it) We discovered they do not deserve their reputation and that they are Hypocritical. Another student of mine, as I call those who I advise, was taking a class from a very highly regarded teacher in NYC, but he could not stand her personality and changed where he was studying the same technique.

Answer 4

To make it in acting as a female, this is key:

-you have connections to someone in the industry;

OR

-you are knockout gorgeous and you are noticed by someone important.

Unless you are shooting for broadway plays or theatre, your actual talent need only be marginal.

It's really a tough business, lots of talented actresses lose out to beautiful actresses who are far less talented.

Answer 5

You need to research and find agents in California that will represent oh and also find someone who cares.
