Stella Adler Academy of Acting, Los Angeles | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Just finished my 1st year at the Stella Adler and I can’t express how much I have learned as an actor. The teachers really know what they are talking about, and truly inspire you to find the essence of your character. The technique classes are amazing and teach you even with the minute exercises, a foundation that is vital for a performance. The voice classes help ground yourself in the root of your character, and the movement classes are extraordinary- they take acting to a whole other level in the experiences that are needed in the body i.e. how does fear feel in your body? Are you thinking about it or do you feel it to the core? The great thing about the full time program is that all the classes compliment each other, and all the teachers are in tune with each other. The great thing about taking classes separately is that you get to immerse yourself with one class at a time. I’ve taken both full time and part time and have enjoyed both terms- but trust me once you start with one class you’ll want to take them all. With all this in mind, this school is not for the weak hearted. The classes are challenging (doable with hard work) and the teachers will push you as far as you can go. Every class builds on the one before, therefore perfecting the technique will pay off. After all Stella Adler believed that acting was not a talent, but a result of technique. If you truly want to learn acting and be good at it- this is the place to go.

Changed my life, opened my world and gave me the best experience of my days. And let’s not forget the teaching. Stella might not be flashy or the biggest school out there but it has soul and passion in every wall, so big that the building might not hold it. Everyone in the school has a love for the craft so devoted that it only makes yours grow. The structure of the program is perfect, bringing challenge after challenge to overcome. The way of teaching matches the expectation forgetting about classrooms and focusing on experiences, making you grow in life and as an actor. Simply the best. Thank you Stella.

This is such a fantastic school with proper training. Many of the teachers are notable working actors, playwrights, directors, and producers. They are extremely generous and devoted to furthering the success of their students. My work has improved dramatically since coming here, and I continue to get so much support. It’s especially useful for actors that have had a lot of experience and training. The teachers here will help you get more consistent and deeper with your work. I love this school and the community so much!
