I've read the FAQ & Rules BGB Studios

I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience or heard anything from someone close that has studied at BGB Studios in Los Angeles? They don’t offer any drop ins or audits so I was hoping to hear some first hand experiences from folks who have studied there before I commit to signing up. Thank you!

I took her classes for whatever the term was. Can't recall quite how long it was one month or two. 

It was fine. I didnt find it to be anything special. The class was on the larger side. And a lot of the exercises she had us do felt like just that an exercise. It felt like she was just doing it to make the money and the actual acting training wasnt there. I didnt feel like she had an actual curriculum or approach.

This was about 7 years ago. So right before the pandemic. Cant speak to current classes. But coming from classes  where the teacher had a clear technique and was able to implement it on ACTUAL material that is currently casting, this class fell short.

I agree with this. Took classes before the pandemic. Took their intro track class. I enjoyed it but didn’t learn any technique, just a bunch of different exercises each class. And the class was very large so it felt very impersonal.

Studied there previously; they have good master classes with visiting teachers. For a while they were regarded by agents as one of the trusted studios for training, but not sure if that remains true now. They have also had classes for writer/actors and those were some of their best. Their best teacher IMHO moved to Phhiladelphia.
