WELCOME TO LA PREP ACTOR'S LAB! The Film Commission along with several other Louisiana businesses and industry entities have expressed the need for us to help build the Louisiana talent pool. In building this pool we have traveled the country coast to coast gathering intel and information to help everyone develop their acting skills the fastest and most effectively. LA Prep Actors Lab is a source for hands-on learning by very skilled and experienced professionals from California and Louisiana. ALL ACTORS are invited regardless of whether they have an agent or previous training or not!
*Signing up to participate in this Lab will NOT gain you entrance into Landrum Arts LA Talent Agency. LA Prep Actors Lab is not part of the agency. "Learning the fundamentals about this business is absolutely necessary before starting your acting career. However, working out to become a more competitive quality actor is also very important. Thank heavens this is now being offered to EVERYONE!"
LA Prep is an actor's LAB with qualified successful designers, coaches, industry professionals and Directors who incorporate easy to learn original methods to give new and experienced actors a chance to work at their craft and to hone in on their abilities. "It's VERY important to train with educated and effective instruction. So many times we find that new actors are training with people who have no experience in properly preparing actors for this business. Little do they know that training with a bad coach is far more damaging than not training at all. I'm so excited to see LA Prep implemented so that all actors can be properly exercised and trained as actors!"
For those who have no knowledge at all about this industry we have an LA PREP Seminar that will soon be available as a prelude to the Lab. Please let our Scheduling Team know if you would like on the list to attend the Seminar. ACTORS LAB INFORMATION and SIGN UP
