Acting Classes in Hollywood, Los Angeles

Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio, Hollywood:
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.

- "The World Needs Great Actors"
Since the dawn of time we have looked to our artists to teach us and inspire us, to move us and yes, to make us laugh. The Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio takes the training of this generation’s actors so seriously. To do this job well, you need a craft that will allow you to be truthful, emotionally alive, full of your own opinions and the courage to express them. The world needs great actors – and you could be one of them.

- Small Class Sizes
Our studio offers students smaller classes and individualized attention. Unlike many acting schools in Los Angeles with 25, 30 even 40 students in a class, our class size is limited to 14.

- Professional Tuition
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.

"Awesome school! Elizabeth, Jordana and Sandy are all exceptional teachers. In just 5 weeks I grew not only as an actor, but as a person.

"EMAS was such an intense and amazing experience. Elizabeth is so passionate about the work and constantly pushed us to give our best, to always strive for excellence. I am definitely a stronger actor having gone through the 2-year program at EMAS. The relationships I've made at EMAS is something I will always be grateful for. My core friendships, who I consider my close family now, have all stemmed from this program."
- Susane Lee

"Elizabeth is the reason I am a working professional actor today. The rigors of her program are unmatched here in L.A., and I’ve studied at many places. If you successfully finish her Professional Training Program, you will have all the acting tools you need to make it in this business."
