There are hundreds of acting classes to choose from in Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, too often, the result is the same – an actor’s frustration with herself and with the craft of acting.  At Nikolai Guzov Studio, we believe that:

 

THIS PROCESS SHOULD BE ENJOYABLE

 

CONFIDENCE IN ACTING IS THE BY-PRODUCT OF A PRACTICAL TECHNIQUE

 

REAL TECHNIQUE MUST BE TAILORED TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND HIS IMAGINATION 

 

THE GOAL OF TRAINING IS TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST, ABLE TO UPHOLD ONESELF IN A BUSINESS FRAUGHT WITH REJECTION AND SUBJECTIVITY 

 

Our curriculum consists of group classes and private lessons, built upon foundations developed by 20^th Century Masters, Michael Chekhov and Yevgeny Vakhtangov.

 

Building a career is up to you.  In the meantime, we will teach you how to act.

 

 

 

                                                                            

“In my twenties, I trained at several prestigious acting schools including North Carolina School Of The Arts , Yale Drama School and American Conservatory Theatre.  There and elsewhere, I studied with some of America‘s most acclaimed teachers.  While I consider this training very valuable, I can safely say that the subsequent time I spent with Nikolai was, by far, the most instructive and inspiring.  He possesses a unique and wonderful ability to guide an actor in navigating the waters of this often esoteric craft.  As for his private lessons, there is nothing better out there.   I recommend him whole-heartedly!”

“Nikolai Guzov has been an inspiration. He guides you through the Michael Chekhov technique, allowing you to explore  and discover yourself as an artist. The technique is exceptional: creative, inspiring and easy to apply to any medium. He teaches an imaginative, common sense approach to acting. The technique and the  guidance Nikolai    provides helped me find my voice as an actor.”
