Going Back to In-Person Acting Class
Wow, it’s been 15 months that we have been unable to teach classes in our North Hollywood studio. But, now we are going back to in-person acting classes. We will be going back to in-person acting classes in July and will be providing both zoom and in-person classes. First thing I tell actors is this: Regardless of Covid or not, find a class where you feel safe. Be careful of peer pressure and competition. Stand in your integrity. Everyone needs their own time to adjust to the changes ahead. Take your time and do it on your terms.
Stay safe." - Fran Montano, Actors Workout Studio More>>
