Make Casting Directors Your Biggest Fans

Actors Comedy Studio is permanently online, thriving and now available to actors across the globe! ACS was the very first acting school in Los Angeles with a physical space to convert to online training. We transitioned seamlessly into the digital age of Hollywood with no need or desire to look back. Founders Gunnar Rohrbacher and Lauren Bertoni continue to lead the way toward innovative, current and remarkably efficient instruction for actors, writers and content creators. Our focus on craft and career means our students understand the industry and work.

Gunnar is Hollywood’s number one comedy coach for adults and author of the definitive book on comedy; The Comedy Code – Your Complete Guide to Acting & Writing in the Digital Age of Hollywood. Lauren is a certified Studio Teacher and one of the most accomplished kid & teen coaches on the planet.

We knew the entertainment industry was headed toward digital casting long before there was a pandemic. We were prepared for this new era, which is why we’ve received rave reviews for our exciting, inclusive and engaging online classes. ACS is the place to adapt your theater and improv training to tv and film standards. Our actors don’t discover “secrets” (Run away from anyone selling you secrets); they learn valuable knowledge regarding the way the industry actually works from highly experienced teachers, casting directors and industry experts. We know the business, inside and out. Our actors book. Simple.

Auditioning now means self-taping and self-submitting. Are you one hundred percent confident in your auditions? Are you sure you see the material the way the writers do? Are you sure about your cold reading and audition technique? Actors who book love what they send to casting directors and they’re certain about all of their choices. Self-taping means no adjustments and no guidance. The industry is no longer looking to “discover” talent. Actors are hired when it’s clear they can get the job done with little notice, like a pro. We train actors to that standard!

Home of the Festival Fringe, Edinburgh is one of the most creative cities on the planet. Overflowing with talent of all kinds, Scotland holds a special place in our hearts, all the way here in America. Production is booming in London and throughout all of the U.K. That means more opportunities for actors in the new global marketplace. Actors Comedy Studio is the place to prepare for the exciting, new opportunities that are coming.

Improv and theater training is valuable. But make no mistake – actors who book offer the best on-camera auditions. Full stop. If you want to be truly camera ready, we’re here to help. Not only are we experts in tv and film comedy acting, we offer the best cold reading and audition technique training you’ll find anywhere in the world. Here’s tae ye!
