Jeremiah Comey Film Acting Studio

I’ve never felt as ready, in auditions or on set, as I have after taking classes from Jeremiah. He teaches you to connect with your scene partner and to be in the moment. To actually feel in the moment — not to indicate a certain feeling, but to feel. And the results, both on camera and toward your partner, are substantial and impressive.
Though each acting class I’ve tried is different, his is more different from the group of others that I’ve taken than any of them are from any other in that group.
Other teachers will tell you stay in the moment and to connect with your partner, but he will tell you when you’re not doing it and give you tips on how to do it. Then, he’ll wait for you to do it. That’s useful, in that it takes it from a mainly theoretical hit-​or-​miss process to successful application that can then be remembered and reproduced on set.
He is a nice guy. A passionate guy. He will prepare you for a set with a director who gives a lot of direction or a director who gives none. He has a lot of experience both acting and teaching, so he knows how to elicit results from many different types of actors. He’s very insightful, which is somewhat unexpected, because he dresses and speaks as if he should work on a dock in some capacity. Maybe at a carnival. Certainly not in the arts. (He’s also a very good painter, an interest of his you’ll become aware of through the interesting and memorable analogies he often uses to help elucidate a point of acting.)
He spends a lot of time finding scenes that will be helpful to both you and your partner based on where the two of you are as actors.
I’ve been to other schools that, when asked about my opinion on them, I say, «Yeah, it’s nice. You might want to check it out.» But I actively recommend Jeremiah’s class to, basically, anyone I like. I don’t recommend him to people I don’t like, ‘cuz I don’t think they deserve such a favor. If my friends don’t like his class, that’s fine. But I just really want them to give it one chance, because it has done so much for me, and I’ve seen it do so much for other people who come in, that I fear my friends may missing out if they don’t at least come by once.

A-​Freakin-​Mazing coach! Inspiring, motivating, and knowledgeable of the craft. I enjoy coming to class every Wednesday night. No other way I would spend my Wednesday nights. I learn and have fun at the same time. Thanks Jerry

Jeremiah has been my teacher, mentor, and coach for over 4 years. I have never seen a harder working acting teacher who so meticulously prepares specific material/​scenes for each of his students every week. He has developed his own method for acting on camera that when done properly, will allow you to work on and off book quickly and believably. On any given night, there will be many scenes brilliantly done, and I highly recommend his classes if you want to be great on camera.

I have never grown so quickly as an actor as I have in Jeremiah’s class. It’s an incredible feeling to sink into a scene. To get out of my head. To stop acting. And just to listen. It feels right.
Jeremiah tapped into something truly magical and oh so simple! We all have enough theory… and too many schools of thought to keep track — This is activation, baby!

Jerry is my game changer coach. His method is simply not being taught by anyone else. Keeping it simple in the the close up, and honestly working of the emotions of the scene partner is the best way I can sum up what he teaches. Throw away all your «ideas» and stay honest and open to your partner will allow real for brilliant work to blossom. I would not be the actress I am today without his teachings.
He teaches 3 days a week. cold read style and on his monday/​weds classes you have the opportunity to memorize as well. Everything is shot two camera, super close up. You put all your work and critique on a flash drive so you can take home and study your work.

For what this is; a small staging room with 47+ seats and a workshop staging area, this place is great.
You can rent here or take a class here… but my angle is to rent.
It is clean, modern, air conditioned, and it has a small front room to sign people in. There is limited parking in the strip mall topside, but plenty more in the basement garage.
To find it… go up the driveway next to Peet’s Coffee.

I have attended numerous acting classes with many different coaches over the last 25 years. The one constant has been Jeremiah Comey’s acting classes. The technique that he teaches works by itself as a standalone acting process and compliments every and any acting technique that is taught anyplace, anywhere on this planet. It just simply works. It helps anyone at any level of their career become a better actor. Jeremiah’s dedication and insight to his students have incredibly talented actors coming back year after year to study. The fun part is — you get to work with them every week!

I absolutely love this place!
I have attended numerous acting schools in Europe, NYC & LA, but Jeremiahs class is one of a kind.
He TRULY loves the craft and his students, and he shows that thru his teaching.
I have learned so much from his classes, and I believe that I will use what he taught me for ever, in both my career as well as my personal life.
He is also very inspiring, and he gets his students excited about the craft of acting.
Highly highly recommended!

Been a student of Jerry’s for 3 years, and just being in this class makes you a better person. His acting philosophy really opens you up emotionally, and not just for the scene. It is contagious, and spills out into the rest of your life. The only thing is, classes can last for up to 4 hours– so you must be patient. Otherwise, great place for actors of all levels.

Great class. Worth every penny. Really teaches you how to connect and be IN the scene.

I have studied acting my whole life, but was never truly satisfied with any class until Jeremiah’s.
Teachers often criticized me for leaving their schools saying that I was «afraid of commitment»… And every time, I respectfully responded, «I need to find the class that is right for me.»
We are all unique and learn differently. There really is no right or wrong method… Ultimately, it’s whatever works best for you.
The reason I have never left Jeremiah’s Acting Studio since I started 2 years ago, is because this is the first teacher I’ve met since my move to Los Angeles who wasn’t egotistical and out for your money. His love for his students is beyond words. This man walks in with such joy for what he does and a passion to see his students at their best.
I have encountered the greatest actors in this class. With performances so RAW that you can never look at acting the same again.
It isn’t about the ideas… It’s about what’s real. REAL emotions… So real that you feel completely out of control. And that’s what’s Oscar worthy.
If you audition for a role, and the casting director/​director/​producer has a choice between someone with great ideas but isn’t organic, VS someone who feels the emotion so much that you can’t take your eyes off of them… Who do you think they’d pick?
After seeing the talent in Jerry’s class, I was terrified… But inspired at the same time. Since then, I’ve stopped «acting» and started believing. No fake ideas with the planned eyebrow raising, and unnecessary body and facial movements that don’t really mean anything. Everything is so innate. So prevalent in jus
