Elizabeth Mestnik Acting Studio

This class has changed my life, as an actor and as a person. I just finished the two year Meisner program and it was truly an unforgettable and rewarding experience. The teachers are there for you through and through. They guide you every step of the way and will not let you back down from being the best version of yourself possible. The studios community that Elizabeth cultivated was enriching and wholesome. My class was nothing but fun, lovely, and supportive. Without a doubt, its the BEST acting studio in LA.

This is the acting studio youve been looking for. Ive just finished up the 2-year Meisner program and Im walking away a completely different actor. The instructors curate notes FOR YOU and CARE about your acting journey just as much as you do. This place is my new creative home, and it could just as easily be yours.

A wonderful place for first-time actors! I started in the Beginning Acting class here and went on to complete their Summer Intensive and then two-year Meisner training program. I really loved that as a beginner they don't just throw you straight into scene study but really teach you about different methods of acting and work on specific techniques to make the process less intimidating. Highly recommend the beginning class for anyone who is acting curious but has been scared to try. As for their more advanced Meisner training, it is similar in that they really focus on foundations and structure to help you grow into a confident actor no matter your background. Their Meisner training is hard work but deeply rewarding. I grew so much as a person and artist here and appreciate this place so much.

Just completed the 2-year Meisner program and can say with certainty that this is THE best acting program in Los Angeles, LOOK NO FURTHER. I can say with certainty the performer - and person - that I am today, is an evolved version of myself I didn't know I could reach, because of this class. Like a great workout, this class will break you down and build you up in ways you can't even imagine. Practically speaking, my auditions are completely night and day from before - and this course gave me all the tools and community I need to tackle any character or performance opportunity that may come my way. Sandy, Jordana, Elizabeth, and Ken each have a beautifully unique way of tapping into the actor's core to bring out your best performance. Each class is intentional, purposeful, and challenging in a way that makes you want more. And the best part of it all, is that I bonded with my class, and made lifelong friends I would have never met otherwise. This is the closest thing you can get to a graduate level conservatory program (if not better). Just do it.

This class was my first intro to acting and I have to say the foundation they give you is phenomenal. The teachers care deeply, the students I worked with formed a lovely community and I feel like I grew because of teachers who believe in you, are compassionate but also hold you accountable. Everyone in my class clearly grew throughout our two year program, and every aspect of this program feels thoughtful and passionately created. Highly recommend!
