Your Acting Training

Taylor Acting Studio

As one of the world's premier acting studios, we are dedicated to inspiring and instructing artists in bringing themselves and stories to life through the craft of acting. We work with simple yet profoundly rewarding tenets of Depth, Imagination, and Truth. We teach artists how to utilize their individual uniqueness and life experience, fully exploring their Depth; how to engage in committed play and acceptance, strengthening the Imagination; and how to both practice and demand authenticity, fortifying their commitment to Truth.

 

We do this through personal, guided instruction by  the most Awarded Acting Teacher and Coach, Alex Taylor: a step by step, sequential approach of exercises, improvisational work, and scenes.

 

With more Academy Award nominated actors trained in this approach than any other technique, we believe fully in this way of working and in the artists that come through our doors.

Testimonials

"At the Taylor Studio you are not working to impress your teacher, but to step into your power as an actor and self-acceptance as an artist. Alex has this gradual, gentle way of guiding you to take full ownership of your work and your process, which is a level of independence and empowerment no other teacher has ever attempted to give me."

"There are few people, in Los Angeles especially, who have the ability to guide their students into a place of such delicate vulnerability, in a way that significantly enhances their acting potential. Alex is one of these rare sorts. His teaching is no less than masterful."

"Never have I felt more nurtured as an Artist as I have with Alex.  He allows you to reach your full potential without "directing" you.  This allowed me to be more self sufficient as an Artist which is what we all want.  He truly cares about his students on a human level."
