Basic Acting/Improv

(18 years +)

Mondays: 6:30pm–9:30pm
Now accepting students–See Registration Section

Learning how to use your body, voice and mind as they apply to effective acting is what this class is all about. Using exercises and techniques designed for the actor, the topics of this class serve as the underpinning for any future acting endeavors, making it the single most important body of knowledge for any actor. Staying focused, learning to listen, reading a script for character development—all this and more will be explored and taught through some scene study, improv and monologues. This class is your foundation.

Scene Study

(18 years +)

Pre-requisite: Basic Acting/Improv OR equivalent acting experience or courses from other sources

Tuesdays: 6:30pm–9:30pm
Now accepting students–See Registration Section

Wednesdays: 6:30pm–9:30pm THIS CLASS IS FULL

Students are always encouraged to repeat this course. It keeps you sharp and it keeps you honest. It is a class designed to hone the skills that are necessary for work in any medium. This is a class for the serious actor which is meant to enhance character development and performance through the application of new techniques as well as those already learned. Working through problems of performance with constructive critique and discipline in order to achieve the best performance possible is what we aim for as we work with our actors on scenes. This class is kept small to allow the most time possible for each and every student. Performance time is recognized as critical to growth. To that end, we work on a maximum of two scenes per student (preferably one comedic and one dramatic) for the eight week course.

Please call or email for information in regard to other classes that may not be posted yet. Classes are always being developed to fill the needs of our students.

Individual coaching for auditions is always available upon request. Please call or email us for information.

Testimonials

“Roughly 3 years ago I decided to get into acting and the search for my acting school began. I was lucky enough to meet Lynn Seibel and from there began attending classes on a regular basis. Since working with Lynn I have achieved the acting skills I was looking for and needed to attended any casting call or audition. He has given me the direction and confidence I was looking for to feel secure with the role I am portraying. With the help of Lynn’s expertise I have landed roles with some of the greatest actors. I have worked on the set of Great Debtors with Denzel Washington, played on All my Children, played a character on the Showtime series Brotherhood, and had a speaking role with Bruce Willis in Surrogates. In each of my roles I had Lynn readily available for any questions I had or lines I needed to read through for an extra boost of confidence.

I have recently joined Lancaster Acting Studio and had the pleasure of meeting and learning from the talented Ellen Regan who has been in numerous television sitcoms. With her experience and teaching talents I have feel my acting techniques have improved greatly and I have more confidence than ever to take on any role I may audition for. ”

Mike DeMello

“I would recommend studying with Lynn and Ellen to any actor that wants to take their talent to the next level. I was a touring musician for ten years, but with the knowledge and experience I have gained at the Lancaster Actors Studio, I now have the confidence to make the move for the start of my acting career. ”

J. Gulinello

“Being affiliated with Lancaster Actors Studio and working with Lynn Seibel and Ellen Regan is beyond a dream. Both Lynn and Ellen taught me not just commercial study, scene study, acting for the camera etc. But they taught me how to be an ACTOR… I have had success from the teaching at Lancaster Actors Studio. I got a chance to attend an open mic night for actors where in which I landed a part in the “48 Hour Film Project” as the lead actor in a short film. I can wholeheartedly say that everything I learned from Lynn and Ellen helped me land that lead role, and I will forever be in debt to them. They are truly the best.”

Karim Aird

“Before meeting Lynn, I was just an insecure gal who hid her insecurities behind a loud mouth. With Lynn’s guidance over the last 2 years, I have gained the courage to stretch myself beyond my comfort zone and tried to overcome my awkwardness with showing something other than being “tough”. Both Lynn and Ellen have inspired me to not only be comfortable in my own skin, but enjoy new moments that I would not dare try in acting. Their teachings and ideas gave way to something more than just an acting class. It feels like family. For that, I thank them.”
