“My time at Actorsite helped me grow as an actor in many ways. In an intimidating business, Actorsite managed to create a welcoming and judgement-free environment. I learned so much about interacting with casting directors and preparing for auditions. I'm thankful to have had a safe place to introduce me to the business!”

“Boy did I luck out finding Actorsite towards the beginning of my boys acting career. As a parent I felt like I was supported just as much as my boys. I always felt like I was ahead of the curve from the knowledge that Actorsite provided me as a parent which is so helpful when dealing with your child's team. Actorsite had the best workshops and classes. I loved that my boys could go to class when we were in town or get the same amazing training from the comfort of our own home. I can't even say enough about acting coaches/ teachers that become not only the most important pieces of my boys team helping my son book really great bookings. I think my son has almost been on every network. The teachers from Actorsite; Jack, Kimberly, Amber have become my family. They are the first people that I share my families happy news with and also the first people that we reach out to for comfort on the not so fun part of the industry. I know that I can count on them for the best training to book the roles and the support when things don't go as plan. Actorsite has been the best part of our journey... came for a workshop.. left with an extended family. 10/10 The Herda Family recommends.” PJ & Jeff Herda (parents of actor Braxton Herda)
“Kimberly Crandall and the entire staff at Actorsite are some of the most intelligent and experienced coaches in the acting world. They have helped me take my game to the next level. They know how to get the best performance out of you while making it as fun as possible. 5 Stars in my personal opinion. And if you don't believe me find out for yourself. You won't regret it. I am Braxton Herda and I approve this review.” Braxton Herda

“Actorsite is one fine organization. Unlike many other Hollywood acting schools, the cost is affordable. I studied there for almost 5 years and what I learned were the nuts and bolts of being a film and television actor. Kimberly Crandall, was my main teacher and she imparted lots of love in her teachings. She is a working actress and has a firm reality on what it takes to be a success as an Actor. Kimberly was always so encouraging to me and adjusted my acting skills with firmness and delicacy. Our actor egos can sometimes be damaged by an uncompassionate teacher.
I especially liked the on camera classes where I learned to distinguish between how to play the camera in a commercial setting versus a theatrical one. The last three years I have landed 3 National commercials and as a result of Kimberly's coaching, I am very confident in front of the camera.
I cannot sing Kimberly Crandall's praises too much. She is the best teacher for a beginning or even a Veteran actor! I'm excited about the prospect of continuing to study with her in the near future.”

“Ever since I met Jack and Amber at the Actorsite I feel that I transformed as an actress. Amber has given me not only acting skills but also life skills. Always encouraging me to give the best of me, and to be myself, and to always keep it real. Amber is always honest, professional and positive. I love The Actorsite and Amber Bohac.” (Allison Nordahl Nunez)
“Thank you for all that you have taught Michelle, at such a short age she booked films and worked for different projects. We look forward to keep working with you. I cannot say enough good things about Amber, she is the best at coaching little kids. My daughter loves her and Amber's technique have made Michelle's performance 10 times better. Thank you Actorsite!” (Jessica Nordahl, parent of Michelle Nordahl and Allison Nordahl Nunez)

"Actorsite was the first place I ever took a class in Los Angeles after I moved here when I turned 13. Not only did it come highly recommended, which made my mom happy, it was also a place that helped me meet friends and discover my love and passion for acting. The teachers saw me through my first auditions, my first heartbreaks and my first jobs! I was so lucky to have gotten my start here, and so grateful to all the teachers for making my transition to LA so seamless. I would send any young actor here in a second!"

“My time at Actorsite was some of the best years of my life! It’s the combination of learning more about my craft and having fun while doing it. I always wanted to come back for more. I also got to meet my best friends there along the way. Not only did I grow more as an actress, but also as a young individual. The classes are filled with amazing teachers and other like-minded kids with the passion for acting! I would recommend Actorsite to anyone.”

“My boys and I have been part of the Actorsite family for over three years. I say family because their attention and caring has fostered a family atmosphere. The support I feel from Actorsite is such a lifeline for me in the industry and just as important is the true love both my boys have for the coaches. The classes at Actorsite are both challenging and fun, they require my boys to push themselves and also builds their confidence. They know the business so well at Actorsite that they are able to explain exactly what each step in an audition process is, which is so important because if my boys know what to expect, then they feel confident and comfortable and nerves don’t affect them negatively. Through their incredible coaching, both my boys have booked network shows, as well as some feature films and commercials. The coaches are patient and understanding with the little ones, but seem to know exactly when to push them. My boys always look forward to their time coaching at Actorsite, and the results speak for themselves.”

“I never felt in all my years living in Los Angeles being so rooted for as an actor than I did at Actorsite. I was welcomed into Actorsite’s family and was truly gifted with amazing mentors who strive to carve us actors in booking actors. Some of my best experiences living in Los Angeles as an actor took place there. Whether it’s cold reading, comedy, drama, or commercial, Actorsite is the complete toolbox for any actor’s needs.”

Not only did it lay the foundation for my future in the acting business but left me with memories and friends for a lifetime. Along with the techniques and the cold reading, I also learned how to communicate and connect with people on a level I never could. Everything Actorsite has taught me has stuck with me and shaped a huge portion of who I am today.”

“Working with Kimberly at Actorsite was such an amazing experience. The environment of her classes was the perfect combo of nurturing but also a good kick in the butt. She knows her stuff. The insight she shares on a script is so valuable and helps you stand out and get of your own way. She helped me grow so much. I made some of my best friends training at Actorsite.”
