Speiser/Sturges Acting Studio

Shannon Sturges and Aaron Speiser have been Los Angeles’ premiere acting teachers and coaches for over thirty years. Our focus at the studio is to train you for film and television work. While we love theatre and have trained Tony-nominated actors, we find that people come to Los Angeles to work primarily in the film industry and that necessitates a different way to prepare. This means that when you are in a scene study class, there is no rehearsal. That's right-- NONE. You can run lines before class with your partner, but you won’t be going to someone’s house to rehearse because you won’t be able to do that when you book a job. Oftentimes, you’ll first meet the other actor on set the day you shoot. Our process gives you the tools you need to work professionally. Our studio thrives on diversity; whether you are an award-winning celebrity, a trained actor, or someone who just always wanted to try acting, our studio has a place for you. Speiser/Sturges is a supportive community of actors and teachers dedicated to helping you become the best actors and artists you can be. We believe your time at our studio will inspire you and transform you.
