We are a studio that empowers students and their talents, and we believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to express their true selves.

Our classes are taught by Film Directors, Writers, Producers, and Working Actors. We have classes in Acting, Improv, On-Camera, Film, Vocal Training, Voice-Over, Musical Theater & more.

We are a bonded facility and our instructors have Child Performer Services Permits (CPS) as required by the State of California.

I was five years old and I had a big personality – but only around those I knew. My mom thought that I was cute enough to do commercials, but she didn’t count on that I was mortifying shy around strangers. How do you teach your child NOT to be nervous? There are no “anti-shy classes.”

Acting classes helped me grow my confidence and self-esteem quickly and effectively. Acting skills work from the classroom throughout life. The Performer’s Academy is a great place to learn to perform and take those skills to the stage, screen, classroom, or boardroom.

Not everyone that comes here wants to be in the entertainment industry. Almost half of our student body is here just to experience the art of acting and performing – with no aspirations or goals to be the next child, teen, or mature star. Many parents have shared with us the fact that their child has become more confident, their self-esteem has been boosted and they are having a great time.

“I stumbled across The Performer's Academy two and a half years ago. Having grown up in an acting family, I knew right away I had found a genuine acting program, one that hires working actors and directors as teachers. This direct connection to the film industry gives students professional-level preparation for on-camera work. But The Performer's Academy isn't just a training program for those who have already decided they want to be an actor. It also gives students space to develop and explore acting in a genuinely supportive environment. Two years later my daughter now goes twice a week, auditions for paying roles, and has an agent. The Performer's Academy showed my daughter what I knew all along: that she is an actor, that she is an artist, and above all, that she matters. Thank you to all the teachers and staff for making that transformation possible!”

"A true hidden gem here in Lake Forest. My wife discovered this place for our (3 years old at the time, 7 now) daughter to learn about acting as it seemed a natural fit for her personality. It was one of the best things we could ever do for her. She truly loves coming here and learning with her friends and instructors. It's her home away from home. The owner Brianne treats everyone like family. Because of their tutelage, our daughter has been signed to one of the best agencies around and has been in a few commercials as well. If you have a child who has that outgoing personality or one that is shy and needs encouragement to break out of their shell, this is the place for them. It's fun, educational, and a great space to encourage and build up children's confidence. Our entire family loves this place and the incredible people who make it so!"
