about.

When actors think their job is “to act,” acting itself becomes work. But nobody (not agents, not casting directors, and not audiences) want to see an actor acting. The actors job is to “not act.”

When you Quit Acting, the actor quits the ‘job’ of acting. And acting becomes as effortless as you are being right now.

As a teacher, my job is not to teach you the “right way” to act. My job is to show you if how you are acting doesn’t feel right to you- that’s not how you are supposed to be acting.

Are You Ready To Quit Acting?

If you have been doing the work but nothing seems to be working for you – it’s not time to give up on your dreams. It’s just time to Quit Acting!

The Quit Acting Difference

Since Stanislavsky first introduced his “System,” finding the RIGHT acting technique has meant going from teacher to teacher trying on different “styles” like you would a pair of shoes. Why would you need shoes if you know how to fly?

Natural acting ability isn’t a fluke. After all, ACTING NATURAL is what you are doing right now. So, if you aren’t booking more of the roles you want-this isn’t a lack of talent. It simply means somewhere along the way you started following a METHOD or got into a MINDSET that took you away from your own natural instincts. When you Quit Acting, you quickly pin-point and easily eliminate those obstacles -bringing you back to the natural actor you have always been!

Laura Lasky cHt. BIO

With over 30 years experience in the entertainment industry, Laura Lasky cHt (Certified Hypnotherapist) has been helping others find their voice and embrace their gifts so they can bring their unique expression to their work and the world one creative soul at a time. Prior to starting The Quit Acting, Laura founded the youth division of The Characters Talent Agency in Santa Fe, New Mexico, During this time Laura helped launch the careers of local talent including Hank Harris (Once Upon A Time, Twin Peaks) and Emile Hirsch (Bonnie & Clyde, Speed Racer, Into the Wild). Upon moving to Los Angeles while working both as a sub-agent and in house audition coach for The Barbara Cameron Agency she helped launch the careers of Kal Penn, Columbus Short, and Shailene Woodley. Quit Acting was created in 2001 when Laura was approached by the parents of a few clients who where unhappy with classes available for young performers. When the agency closed in 2003, Laura became a full time acting coach and shifted from teaching group classes to strictly working one-on-one. Recognized for over a decade in the industry as a top private acting teacher and coach for kids and teens, around 2014, Laura officially started working with adults after several clients confessed to lying about their age. Struggles with her own Dyslexia and other neuro-processing challenges turned into a fascination with how the mind and the brain work. This along with a life long study of Western, Eastern, modern, and ancient wisdom and theologies, quantum and metaphysics, eventually led Laura to gain her Certification in Hypnosis in 2007 through the nationally accredited Hypnosis Motivational institute (HMI) in Tarzana, California. This in-depth program (logging over 600 hours of study and practice) also included the study of Guided imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and clinical counseling. With the background of a talent agent, musical theater director, acting coach and Certified Hypnotherapist, Laura provides a true one-stop-shop for actors and performers when it comes to navigating the creative, business, and mental challenges of this industry. Laura's innovative approach,unique insight, and individualized techniques have helped not only actors, but also singers, musicians, dancers and artists. release blocks and negative thought patterns allowing them to reach new levels of creativity and confidence. Laura presently works with actors and performers in Los Angeles, CA, and on-line across the country and around the world.
