TESTIMONIALS
"I like Melissa's class because she makes it fun and real. I have also had private classes with Melissa. When I went to the actual audition, I knew I had it down!"
Scher G.
"Melissa's class has helped me grow so much as an actor. Her format is set up for you to work with other actors in a scene. She helps you fine tune your character. All in a great supportive environment. There is so much that goes on in her class from scene study to improv. It has truly helped me when I get those same day auditions. I am so much more equipped for this wild ride.
Thanks so much Melissa!! :) xox"

"Melissa Skoff has worked with my son for over a year and a half. Since working with Melissa, he has became a confident, working actor. Melissa has an enormous amount of patience with the children’s class. She is very caring and is truly dedicated to advancing each of her student’s careers. The skills Melissa has taught my son have helped him develop his acting career and he is also able to use these tools in his classroom in school. He has begun to excel in the performing arts area as well as speech and presentation. I highly recommend Melissa Skoff to assist you with your acting and/or other professional career. "

"Since taking lessons with Melissa Skoff, my 7 year old daughter has improved her acting ability tremendously, and she is booking jobs regularly. Under Melissa’s tutelage, she is understanding characters and also how to break down scenes and monologues. Melissa is quick at recognizing and enhancing good acting habits while simultaneously breaking bad ones. She is a renowned casting director herself, and very well connected to Hollywood’s elite crowd. I appreciate Melissa’s approachable and honest feedback. I would highly recommend Melissa to any serious actor, young or older. Melissa’s class fees are the most reasonable in Los Angeles and she often adjusts her schedule to help prepare for sudden auditions. We love her style!"
