Conveniently located on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood CA, the epicenter of the Los Angeles’ entertainment industry, the Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio is a boutique studio that provides 12-week to 9-month beginner and advanced acting lessons for students who want to learn the art of acting in a challenging and inspiring environment. We are here to offer you more than just an acting class; we are here to help you develop a comprehensive set of acting tools that will support you as you pursue your acting career.

We believe that to be a great actor you must be willing to learn your craft. Like any profession, acting isn’t something you can learn in a month. If this is your dream, you need to be willing to invest your time, energy and passion to pursue it. If you are ready to make that commitment, then we’re ready to invest in you. At EMAS we are dedicated to training actors to the best of their ability. Because we don’t believe you can learn this awesome skill in short workshops, our minimum student commitment is 3 months. We also offer supplemental 1-week seminars on specific acting techniques throughout the course of the programs.

3 - 9 month beginner to advanced acting classes including:

- Acting for Beginners (12 weeks)
- Scene Study Program (12 weeks)
