Welcome to The Susan Giosa Acting Workshop | Acting Classes in West Los Angeles

Award-winning stage actress and coach, Susan Giosa offers acting classes geared for the serious professional. Susan's ongoing workshop in Santa Monica, offers classes focusing on scene study, intense emotional work, script analysis, sensory work, improvisation, audition techniques and advanced character work. Ms. Giosa trained extensively with acclaimed acting teacher, Larry Moss, in Los Angeles and New York. A working actress for over 25 years Susan did her graduate work at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, England and earned a Master's degree in Drama/Theater from Queens College, a NYC University.

Susan believes the ability to tap into and use your full emotional instrument on demand is essential for truthful and compelling acting. After over 15 years of teaching, in the Los Angeles area and in New York City, she has created a unique warm-up and specific emotional exercises. Her student's ability to connect easily and quickly to their deepest emotional core is the result of her warm-up technique.

Ms. Giosa is convinced each student needs individual attention in order to fulfill his or her full potential. She believes she cannot give personal attention to students in an overcrowded classroom. Therefore her acting classes are deliberately kept small. This creates an opportunity for her students to work every session in a truly safe and supportive environment.

Often students study years with the same teacher and never develop professional careers. They become too comfortable and stagnate in the safety of the classroom. Susan Giosa is also personally committed to the development of each student's craft and professional career. Her goal is to teach each student to be a master of his or her own craft.
