The ACT Immersively floor from above: crew, lighting rig, and standing sets under open timber beams

An In-Person Acting Studio · Culver City, Los Angeles

Where hidden talent gets discovered!

Real standing sets. Real props, wardrobe, and wigs. Real casting directors in the room. The only acting studio in LA built like a working production — because that’s what we came from.

Why We Exist

Authentic human emotion cannot be taught through a screen. So we built a place where it doesn’t have to be.

The Experience

Live it, then watch it

Be in the Scene

ACT Immersively allows you to be fully immersed in the scene.

See It on the Screen

We film your performance so we can later review it and give you feedback.

The Space

A studio built like a production

Tour every set
01

The Living Room

A fully dressed family home — where most scenes in television actually happen.

02

The Bedroom

Dressed down to the nightstand. The scenes that only work up close.

03

Wardrobe & Wigs

Uniforms, jumpsuits, period pieces. Put the costume on and the excuse to stay yourself comes off.

04

The Kitchen

Practical sink, practical stove. Play the whole scene while you cook it.

05

Hair & Makeup

A real glam station. You get built into the character before you're called.

06

The Green Room

Where the table reads happen and the industry hangs around after.

Dion and John on set — where this story began.

The Founding Story

Fourteen and a half years beside John Singleton

From inception through casting, production, and editing — on projects like Snowfall and Rebel — our founder watched John do the thing he loved most: find people who didn’t yet know what they were capable of, and turn them into the next great talent in Hollywood.

When she discovered that acting training had gone virtual, she made a decision: build the room John would have built. Real sets. Real people. Real discovery.
