I believe one standard piece of advice given to all aspiring actors who are serious about pursuing their profession is to receive training.
But a big question is, "How much do acting classes in LA cost?"
In this post, I will outline a number of acting schools and their prices. A starving actor should know how much a class should be. Information is taken from firsthand auditing or directly from the studio's website. The post will be updated as prices rise - help from others is welcome. If any information is erroneous, please inform!
