Actors Comedy Studio

If you're looking to get some solid on-camera training, make sure you check this place out. Todd Rohrbacher is an incredible teacher with great insights, especially when it comes to acting for sitcoms. You get to work 2-3 times per night, you get great feedback and tips, and then you review your performance afterward to see how you look on camera. AND, class is a blast in a half; I laugh more in this class than I do at some comedy clubs. Class at ACS is one of the few I recommend for actors here in Los Angeles. I've taken quite a few, and this has easily been one of the best (and most enjoyable). If you're curious, make sure to catch one of his free audits! more

Our daughter loves Lauren as a teacher. She is terrific at coaching and teaching kids. She truly connects and makes them feel comfortable. She does not give false hopes, she builds their confidence. I believe if your child wants to become an actor or actress this is the best place to start. We drive over 60 miles to take this class. It is worth it!!! more

You would think that I have stock in the company . I love this school. Todd and Lauren are so smart about everything they do , from the classes they offer to the smart teachers . ( what I mean with smart is that there's no time or lesson waisted ,or the way the class is structered) . This place is all about getting work or creating work . This place excites me . They're honest but done in an empowering way . They're very generous with there sharing of knowledge . Like I said a very smart place . I wish I had found them when I first started out . more

Actors Comedy Studio and Lauren Bertoni has taught our child so much about the industry. How to audition, work, improvize, and be smart about your choices. Our child has been with Lauren for a little over a year, and she continues to learn sooo much every week. We have watched our daughter go from being unsure about herself and her auditions, to booking some really great roles. We HIGHLY recommend Actors Comedy Studio and Lauren Bertoni to anyone whose child has a dream of being a successful actor! more

After taking scene study classes for years and performing sketch comedy around NYC and LA, I knew I needed to sharpen my audition technique and sitcom skills in order to start booking in this town. \r I found The Actors Comedy Studio and I haven't gone anywhere else since. \r Every class is on camera, so my audition skills have sky rocketed. In fact, I was called a ""pro"" by a session director recently, which I knew was only because I have become so comfortable with reading on camera and taking control of the audition room, in class.\r Todd teaches a complete breakdown of all the characters in sitcoms. We have gone so far in detail as to how these characters not only function in their world, but how a certain formulaic combination of different characters just equals great comedy. He really teaches script analysis from a writers' point of view, which is invaluable when trying to figure out how a character's brain works and what function they serve in the scene.\r Although heady in theory, the classes are taught in such a fun way and with unique exercises, that the time flies and you leave class really thinking about what you just learned. \r Todd is a great guy and really cares about his students careers and is always encouraging us to self produce, which is such a great outlet for any artist these days!\r Take the classes. You will be happy you did. I am! more

I have been training with Todd for over two years. In that time I have gone from a student who wants to perform comedy to someone who can be handed a script and in 15 minutes and perform it perfectly in front of a camera. Todd is an amazing person, teacher, and friend. He teaches not for himself, but for you. He supports everything you work towards and finds a way to make any and all road blocks dissappear. He has devoloped Actors Comedy Studio so that you can find the answers to Acting with Comedy, Singing, web series (start to finish and marketing), stand-up, voice, improv, EVERYTHING!!! If he doesnt have a class on it. Ask and he will bring in an expert! When it comes to teachers he is the best. EVERYTHING he teaches and works with you on are things you will hear from every casting director in LA. He does not tell you things to just say them or to ""get your money"". In fact Todds goal is ""To make you so good you dont need me anymore."" I have talked with over 50 Casting Directors and the things they say are EXACTLY what Todd teaches. He also devotes his efforts to each individual. We are all different and have differect things we need or could improve on. He helps YOU to be great. Not a CLASS to be good. Only studio you should consider!!!! more

I wish there was something like Actors Comedy Studio around when I moved out here years ago. LA can be a crazy city full of crazy people and this can be a bit intimidating, but then add in the uncertainty of which classes to take as an actor when there are HUNDREDS of classes to choose from... chaos! Let me save YOU lots of time and energy... go to Actors Comedy Studio. I have been studying with Todd, the founder, for almost 2 years now and am so thankful to have found a teacher that I can trust will always guide me in the right direction. There is no better Comedy teacher than Todd Rohrbacher! Beyond the teaching, ACS is a COMMUNITY. What makes it so great is the welcoming, collegial environment where it is true that students take interest in helping other students. We leave stuffy, competitive acting studios to the other hundreds of studios you can chose from. Long story short... come check out ACS- you'll be sure to be greeted with a friendly face. more
