Quit Following Cookie-Cutter Methods And Create Your Own...
If you’re “acting process” isn’t keeping you PRESENT it’s time to quit following “cookie cutter” methods and have one designed just for YOU.
Not All Acting Classes Are Created Equal.
Nobody sees, thinks, or interprets the world in the same way. NOBODY. So when it comes to finding a natural acting technique — How can ONE-SIZE FIT ALL? What makes QA PRIVATE INTENSIVES different than any other acting class is that all techniques are individually created based on how your brain naturally works and how you NATURALLY ACT. Because the technique is natural to you, not only will you need less time to do your prep work, it is guaranteed to continue WORKING FOR YOU 100% of the time!
When you Quit Acting, you don’t follow someone else’s technique, you become your own master teacher and create your own.

A note for Actors w/ Dyslexia & Other Learning Differences
Laura Lasky cHt (Acting Coach and Certified Hypnotherapist SPECIALIZES in helping actors with Dyslexia and other learning disabilities.
The TRUTH IS NOBODY SEES, THINKS OR PERCEIVES THE WORLD IN THE SAME WAY! NOBODY! The "label" just means you process and perceive the world in a not so typical boring "normal" way. Which BTW, makes you better equipped as an actor. (No offense boring "normals.")
Laura Lasky cHt will tailor your acting process to your unique learning style and offers techniques to help each actor over-come the "industry" challenges.
Tom Cruise. Robin Williams. Keira Knightly. Robert Downey Jr., and so many more... These actors didn't listen when told they couldn't be actors because of learning differences and neither should you!

How We Work
At QA, young actors are never given a “line read” to solve a problem. The QA approach allows even the youngest actors* to trust their instincts and be willing to show their individual style without fear. They too, create their own process in breaking down a script as well as learn how to achieve and release needed emotions comfortably.
Because the techniques are individually created, they naturally change as your child changes, making the often difficult transition from child to teen, and teen to young adult actor as seamless as possible.
When it comes to true creativity there is no place for competition.
I passionately believe children and teens need to claim their rightful place in this industry while feeling safe, empowered, and most importantly free to be exactly who they are.
However, not everyone needs, wants, or is ready to quit acting. This is as much true for some students as it is for their parents.
This isn’t the easiest industry to be a part of and venting can be a healthy way to release frustration. However, here at Quit Acting –bashing the industry, casting directors, your child’s representation, or other actors is strictly prohibited.
QAW is a “ZipZapZop” free zone.
