Acting Class Schedule

2010 continues to be an exciting year for a lot of very special Actreel Actors. In the past year our actors have booked several National Commercials, Video Games, TV Shows and Feature Films, AND several have won theatrical representation and been accepted to prestigious universities. Some of our star students this year are Phil Abrams who booked recurring roles on the shows Grey's Anatomy, Parenthood and Huge, Kelcie Stranahan who booked a National Levi's Print Campaign and a starring role in the film Give Me One Reason, Brooke Smith who booked a starring role in the film Nowhere Home, Tom Vincent who booked a guest role on Greek, and Scott Clifton who not only received his FOURTH Emmy Nomination but has also accepted a contract to join The Bold and the Beautiful! Why not be part of it? Join us this session!

The following class schedule is current as of 7/12/10. All classes are held at our studio in Burbank. All actors must be paid in full prior to class, unless previous arrangements have been made. More classes (e.g. a Young Teen Workshop for ages 11-14) may be added to the schedule as demand dictates. Please see below for important information about Tuition Reduction, Referrals, Registration and Refunds.

Bruce is also available for private on call audition coaching. All private coaching is on an appointment basis. Contact Bruce using one of the methods provided on the contact page for an appointment and rates.

college/university audition workshops

A special class designed to prepare those who will be auditioning for Colleges and Universities. In addition to winning preparation of audition pieces, there will also be assistance in designing your audition package including choice of monologues, choice of school, the interview, and which pieces to do for which school. This workshop can be setup for private one on one sessions or small groups no larger than five. All participants will also get ONE private hour prior to the auditions. Please contact Bruce using one of the methods provided on the contact page for more information on this special class.

Over the years Bruce's coaching clients and students have achieved an impressive collective acceptance rate of over 98% to such schools as NYU, DePaul University, SUNY Purchase, Emerson, CalArts, UCLA, USC, SMU, North Carolina School of the Arts, Boston University, and The Juilliard School. Studio Actreel clients have been equally successful in auditioning for Los Angeles and Orange County Schools of the Arts.

tuition reduction possibilities

You may earn credit toward your class tuition in the following ways...

Early Pay: If you pay in FULL at least 4 weeks before the start date of your class, you will receive a $30.00 credit toward your tuition. So, if your class is scheduled to start on September 13th, you have until August 13th to get the early payment discount.

Actor Referrals: Any actor who refers a full paying student to the program will receive a $20.00 credit (per referral) toward his/her own tuition. If, however, you refer FIVE full paying students, your entire tuition for one class will be covered!

registration & refund policies

All actors MUST be paid in full prior to the first date of the class session, unless previous arrangements have been made. A $100 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is REQUIRED to reserve a spot in any of the classes and enrollment in any class is subject to instructor approval. Due to increased popularity, class size must be limited and enrollment is first come first serve. So reserve your spot ASAP! Regular attendance is required and there will be NO refunds or make up classes. Should you discontinue any class, you will receive a credit in the amount you paid (LESS THE $100 DEPOSIT) toward future classes or audition coaching.
