Jeanette Brox’s Audition Technique Class is absolutely fantastic. While this is definitely an acting class (and taking this class will absolutely make you a better actor) its focus is mainly on the audition process.
A major theme of the class, and something Jeanette comes back to every week, is that 98% percent of actors who come in to the room are forgettable and aren’t working. She wants her students to be the 2% of actors that casting remembers. As a working actor for over 14 years, Jeanette knows what it takes to be in that top tier – even more so than many of the «well known» coaches around town– and it’s that unique perspective that makes her class so valuable.
Every week, the class is broken up into five main parts: The Accountability Part (as I call it) where we go over what we’ve done for our careers in that last week and what goals we want to set for the next;The Co-​Star Part where we practice making the crucial choices necessary in any scene quickly and smartly; The Guest Star Coaching where we review the work we’ve done the scene we’re currently working on (side note: Jeanette is so good at choosing scenes for characters that you’d most likely go out for); The Mock Audition where you film your scene and practice your technique (reenforcing the good habits she’s trying to instill); and The Review where we all watch our auditions and discuss what we personally need to work on. Each of these parts is so educational and has definitely helped me develop into a stronger, SMARTER actor. And for $ 150/​month, you really can’t find better bang for your buck!
And as if that wasn’t enough, Jeanette offers discounted rates to her students for private coaching before an audition. And when I say discounted, I mean you’re not going to find a more affordable coach anywhere in LA! She is definitely one of the city’s hidden gems and if you’re serious about making a career out of acting, you’ll at least check this class out. Oh, and the audit is free, no joke.

Sara is a wonderful teacher who cares so much about every one of her students. She goes out of her way to help every one of her students get to that next level. Sara is a very talented actress and coach with a big heart. Check out The Actors Space West if you are looking for a great acting class!

Our child (age 9) loves the acting classes here. They also do a fabulous summer film camp where the kids are taken through the entire process of making a short film.
