Acting that gave me expert training as an artist, and practical industry know-how and a connection to industry professionals who became the foundation of my career.  22 successful years later, I can tell you that L.A. Acting helped turn my dreams into reality."

Maura Soden, Take Flight Films: Producer & Casting Director/Actor, ER, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Medium, Boston Legal, Helter Skelter.  "I wish every aspiring actor could take the L.A. Backstage Tour.  It introduces all aspects of the business to the actor, saving countless steps, heartache and money. The Tour is a fountain of knowledge and the talent is some of the best I've seen in workshops.  From young to old, the actors are well coached, professional and prepared.”


Ken Rush
, Professional Actor/Director of Theatre, West Orange High School, Winter Garden, Florida.  "The L.A. Backstage Tour was phenomenal!  An outstanding opportunity for actors of all ages to witness
first hand the LA acting experience. Amy Allen was able to "open the door" for myself and the other actors on the tour to some of the top agents and casting directors in LA. As the director of a nationally recognized award winning theatre program, I would recommend this program to my students and any other serious minded performer with dreams and aspirations of making it in the professional world."

Deanne Buchholtz, Actor  "There is no other acting school quite like the L.A. Acting Workshop!  It has provided me the opportunities not only to hone my craft in a challenging, positive environment, but also to meet influential people in the entertainment industry.  Every step I’ve taken in developing my acting career, from signing with my first agent, to booking a national commercial campaign, to showcasing in L.A., began at the L.A. Acting Workshop."  --"Amy dear, you have no idea how special you are and how influential you've been, not only in my life, but in so many lives.  You're so strong and you continue to give your all to help others.  I thank you and love you.  God bless."

Antonio Elias, Actor Ghost Whisperer, Vanished, In Justice, A House Divided, "The skills I learned during my time studying at the LA Acting Workshop have proven to be invaluable.  I go into each casting with complete confidence and I recommend the workshop to any actor looking for the tools necessary to make it in this business.  In addition, The Backstage Tour is an AMAZING opportunity that can't be found anywhere else.  I was fortunate to take part in one of the tours and sign with an agent almost immediately and I'm happy to say I'm still represented by them today and have booked great work since.  Best of luck to all!"

"I still love acting and have been an extra in a few features.  I know acting class helped me more than just to be an actor but helped me come out of my shell as a person, and has shaped me to be who I am today.  I even think of the things Philip taught me over 8 years ago when I’m on an audition…it’s the odd things that stay with you.  I really miss those classes and the great crew we had." Michael Hovinga, Holland, MI

 

"I love Ginny Kopf's teaching methods, her sense of humor, and I would recommend this class (and Ginny) to anyone who is not only interested in the Voice-Over business, but wants to improve the quality, tonality, and resonance of their voice.  She rocks!" -- Kathie Meins, Voice-Over Technique


"There was a lot of great information, education and discovery through.  I enjoyed the journey.  Ginny Kopf and L.A. Acing exceeded my expectations.  Thank you." --Fred Gartrell, Voice-Over Technique

 

"As a young adult actress in the Central FL area, and a recent graduate with a BA in Theater, Ginny Kopf's Voice Over Technique I class has inspired me to pursue an aspect of Theater that I never had any experience working in before.  I had always wanted to try voice-overs, but found it hard to find a local class that specialized in the basics for beginners.  Ginny's professionalism and creativity are outstanding!  She started from square one and laid out everything that a student should know about the voice-over business.  She provided us with several resources and gave each student a chance every week to showcase their voices in front of a mic.  The intimate class size worked great and I felt I received the attention I deserved.  Ginny's enthusiasm towards the business and her students are what helped make the class a rewarding and beneficial experience for me!  Now, I am proud to say I am working on creating a professional demo and seeking out voice-over work all over the state of Florida!" --Kimberly Kreiner, Voice-Over Technique
