Overview

Founded in Los Angeles in 1976 as a Voice Over recording studio and training center for aspiring Film/Television actors, The Actors Workshop remains one of California’s oldest and most respected acting programs. In 1980 the workshop dropped its voice-over program and began concentrating solely on Film Acting [South County News, September 15, 1991, by Marnie McLoed] . In the first six months the workshop doubled its enrollment and by the following year began attracting the attention some of Hollywood’s top Casting Directors and agents.
