We Don't Teach Acting, We Train Actors!


Actors Certified Training LLC (ACT) was created because we believe training institutions must be responsible to the industry by preparing actors to perform on set in feature films and television.

Train to do it, before you are paid to do it.

We specifically train actors to understand what is expected of them in front of a motion picture camera, to receive & deliver the director's vision and reduce per-shot production time and costs. ACT successfully provides actors with the technical skills necessary to be cast consistently and to get the shot.

The number 1 responsibility of the actor is to follow directions
and get the shot.

Designed from the perspective of Directors, Producers, Writers, Technicians (Crew) and Casting Directors, ACT is confident it trains high-quality actors of note, eliminating the need for reality casting.

The number 1 job of the actor is to get hired.

Performing on a demanding set, in front of a motion picture camera requires very unique sets of skills. This can only be acquired and enhanced by training in an environment with conditions that approximates an actual professional film & television production. There needs to be real sets, real cameras, real lights, real grip & electric equipment and this means a real investment! Proper preparation cannot take place solely in a class room or on a theater stage or worse yet, in a living room or spare bedroom. Training on-camera requires much more than a little commercial video camera on a flimsy tripod.

ACT has invested over 100 thousand dollars in cameras and over 50 thousand dollars in other production equipment.

The ACT studio is one of the most expansive training facilities in Los Angeles with over 12,000-sq-ft of interior & exterior training space. Complete with two sound stages, two on-camera training studios along with dedicated exterior/outside training areas. ACT has a FULL TIME staff of 6 and is open 7 days a week. We train actors to get hired consistently and to be able to get the shot.
