:: Kent Klineman Acting Studio Hollywood Los Angeles ::

Welcome to Kent Klineman School of Acting based in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Here's some background on the development of the teaching style of my acting classes:

Several years ago, I decided to start teaching an acting class called "Meisner without the Madness." I studied with Meisner himself at The Neighborhood Playhouse in NYC. I loved the powerful connection Meisner technique created between actors, and yet I was dissatisfied with Meisner's harsh and confrontational teaching style. I decided to teach the acting technique with kindness, compassion and clarity.

I wanted to enhance the student's own creativity in a safe nurturing environment. This environment would be co-operative rather than competitive, and the incoming student would feel like he/she is entering a supportive community of creative partners. We would be the first to blend Meisner and Linklater techniques to create deep connection between scene partners and a deep connection for each actor with his/her inner creative Self.

Ten years later, these goals have become a reality at my Acting Studio here in Hollywood.

Come and check us out.
