12 Week Acting Program For Film & TV- Learn Acting at One of the Best Acting Schools in the US.

Whether you are in Los Angeles or located internationally and want to study at a top acting school, we customize a program to create a well-rounded training acting intensive. **Upon successful completion, students will receive a certificate of attendance.
Below are some of the classes you could take.

Students enrolled in the Acting Intensive Program will receive comprehensive training through a dynamic set of core classes:

  • Auditioning for Film & Television (On Camera):
    Build confidence and precision in front of the camera by mastering cold reads, scene study, and on-camera presence for casting calls.

  • Scene Study:
    Explore emotional truth and character depth by working on contemporary scenes from plays, films, and television.

  • Voice & Speech:
    Strengthen vocal technique with a focus on projection, articulation, resonance, and clarity.

The Golden Box: Acting Technique Rotation

Every 8–12 weeks, students rotate through a new technique, gradually building a personal “Golden Box” of acting tools. These include:

  • Meisner Technique – Levels 1 to 4

  • Stanislavski Technique – Levels 1 to 4

  • Stella Adler Technique – Levels 1 to 4

This system allows actors to customize their approach and draw from multiple respected methods when building a role.

Our Teaching Philosophy: The Golden Box Approach

At the Michelle Danner Acting Studio, we believe every actor is unique. That’s why we train students to develop a personal Golden Box—a custom toolbox of techniques and strategies to apply in any performance scenario, from film to stage.

Our method draws from the most respected schools of thought in acting:

  • Sanford Meisner

  • Stella Adler

  • Lee Strasberg

  • Uta Hagen

  • Michael Chekhov

  • Konstantin Stanislavski

With small class sizes and a supportive, risk-taking environment, students are encouraged to stretch creatively, take bold risks, and push past their limits.
