Testimonials

“This lady has taught me how to act. And by that I mean she has enlightened me on showing me that I am the key to my acting. She is a miracle worker.”

-Shailene Woodley  

“Years of being told I couldn’t do stuff because of my learning disabilities really beat up my self-esteem. I did hypnosis and it was so easy. I brought my reading up to grade level in less than a year.”

-Tavi

“In 2 months Laura helped me find my natural voice, cry on cue, and use my audition nerves to connect more fully to the character. I go with my gut and trust myself more. And because I'm of that I'm working more.”

About Me and the Madness Behind the Quit Acting! Method

I got into this industry for the love of acting — but I stuck around because I can’t stand the “actor math” that trips up so many good performers.

After 35+ years as a Los Angeles acting coach, I’ve seen it over and over: Casting Directors say that out of every 100 actors auditioning, only 10 have what it takes to actually book the job. The other 90%? They’re busy trying so hard to “act” that they lose what makes them watchable.

That’s why I created the Quit Acting! method. In my Los Angeles acting classes, you’ll stop overworking scenes and reconnect with your natural instincts — so acting feels as real and effortless as you are right now.

I’m not claiming you’ll land your next big LA role overnight. But I do know that when you Quit Acting! you won’t blank on your lines, get stuck “finding” your character, or doubt your talent.

My job as your Los Angeles acting coach isn’t to teach you how to act — it’s to help you see what’s not working and guide you back to what does. When you Quit Acting! you free the real actor inside you.
