Actor's Edge, San Luis Obispo CA

I couldn’t be happier with Actors Edge! Aaron is a very patient and great teacher. My son loves the class and looks forward to continuing to grow as a young actor!

I cannot praise Aaron enough for the classes at Actors Edge. My daughter Dahlia started in May this year and her progress has been amazing. This is all testament to Aaron’s teaching. The classes are amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. He creates an environment that is fun, inclusive, relaxed, positive and at the same time educational.

I would recommend the classes to anyone interested in starting acting. You will not be disappointed.

I came to Aaron’s class a bit battered and bruised, after a slew of classes and coaches that use tearing you down as their method (they wouldn’t see it this way of course, but it’s how they made me feel - like I must not WANT it enough, otherwise I would’ve made it by now. The train is moving, it doesn’t need you – do you want to run and catch it or not?)

The night before class, I remember thinking to myself, “I just want to find someone NICE. A genuine person who I feel like I could have in my life long-term as a coach. Someone who builds me up, not tears me down. ” Life does a good enough job at tearing you down.

One of the things I noticed right away is that Aaron’s used to communicating with kids, because of his gentle and optimistic communication style. A soothing balm that put my fears at ease. He also asks us to communicate about ourselves apart from the industry, and encourages us to support one another, so that true relationships blossom. This is exactly the type of person I want to be associated with, and whose values align with my own.

I am so grateful my daughter found actor’s edge. Not only is she having fun, she is learning incredible life skills like public speaking and a deeper understanding of emotion. It’s like empathy training! So cool!

Been studying at Actors Edge for a year now and I cannot say just how thankful I am to have found a great studio with an amazingly talented teacher!

Our boys really enjoy working with Aaron at Actor's Edge. Along with learning acting skills they are gaining life skills and confidence by speaking (and performing) in front people.

As an actor I felt so lost before finding Actors Edge. I am finally at a place where our skills, happiness, and success are the top priority rather than just taking our money. Thank you AE and Aaron for being so incredible and making me feel like fighting for my dreams is worth it!

Actor’s Edge is the class to take if you love acting and are looking to improve your craft!

My daughter has been taking classes for a year, and just wrapped up her first Hollywood Showcase. Not only has she grown incredibly as an actor, but I love how Aaron guides the children with respect and caring for everybody. Additionally, after her first showcase, my daughter received offers for representation and continued career opportunities in Los Angeles. If you or your child are considering acting, Actor’s Edge is the place to go. Thank you again to Aaron and crew!

Everyone at Actors Edge strives to give you the best acting class experience you can have. From billing to student success to the classes themselves. Aaron is extremely well versed in acting and the industry. If you’re looking for affordable classes with a true industry professional I recommend you join Actors Edge. They are truly amazing.

A truly special experience located right here on the central coast. So much more than an acting class. Will put you within 12 feet of multiple industry professionals during the showcase giving you a chance to get insider feedback.

Great learning opportunities to improve and grow from - whether it be memorization, getting into the character, teamwork, or standing in front of an audience.

Aaron is a great teacher, and I had so much fun in class! It was exciting to see myself and my peers to improve immensely in just a matter of months! Seriously recommend this class!
Edit:

I started Jan 2022 and after doing his Showcase in Aug, I got an agent!

I love working with Aaron and his team he has craftily put together at Actors Edge. I have worked with so many acting coaches in my time in LA and I just constantly felt like I didn’t fit anywhere. Little did I know all I had to do was look in my own back yard. I’m so grateful Aaron offers online classes now witch helps make class with my favorite instructor a lot more accessible for someone who lives in LA and not the central coast. Online training has been so beneficial to my career especially now since everything is almost entirely virtual. Aarons soft yet demanding approach is exactly what I need. He creates a space where I feel safe to share the deepest sides of me that help mold me into a better actor, and he teaches me how to pull on those moments in such a welcoming, loving, creative environment. I know he cares about each and everyone of his students and truly wants the best for us. And trust me that is not always the case with instructors. A lot of my experiences in LA have been all about extorting the actor for money and pushing things you don’t need.

Not Aaron or his team!
Can’t truly say enough about Actors Edge!

I’ve been with Actors Edge for a little over a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about Aaron and his team. When I first met Aaron 2 years ago, it was for 1 private coaching session, and I had no idea where to begin with my career. After that session I knew I wanted to continue to work with him and unfortunately I didn’t have the money or time to continue with the private sessions.
He suggested I join his classes which I did when I had saved the money almost a year later and I’ve loved his classes ever since. I felt myself improving in as little as a few months and I’m happy to say I’ve booked my first role almost a year after taking his classes.
Aaron gave me the confidence I needed to preform in front of people and he made me feel more confident when going to auditions which is really important. He is hard on you sometimes, but he does that to make you a better actor and he always lets you know when you’re doing something right.
I went to a different studio for 4 weeks and one big thing I noticed, is that Aaron makes sure to give you his time and full attention when it’s your turn to preform. I never feel rushed when I’m performing a scene and he really helps you understand the character you’re playing.
Overall I have nothing but great things ti say about Aaron and his team, I’m excited to see what happens next my career.
Thanks Aaron!

I can’t say enough good stuff about The Actor’s Edge, and Aaron in particular. He “gets” actors in a very unique way and is able to bring out the best in each person. Classes are challenging and delightful! I HIGHLY recommend taking classes here.

Actors Edge has been a dream come true for me. Aaron is an amazing teacher. He is positive and gives constructive feedback and encouragement. I feel he really cares about making me a better actor. We have had professional actors from film and tv visit our class which was amazing. He helped me get connected with a talent agency. Actors Edge has changed my life!
