EMPOWERING ACTORS EVERYDAY

Acting Skills Are Life Skills

Acting classes provide the life skills of listening, speaking, communication, critical thinking, reasons, regulating emotions, making choices, building confidence, building self-esteem, quick thinking and so much more.

“Every actor brings something unique to their work. I celebrate that uniqueness while providing the techniques that make your auditions and on-set performances shine.” – Gayla Goehl

“I believe there is a fundamental truth in acting; what you think is what the camera reads” — Gayla Goehl

I teach ongoing classes at The Playground Acting Conservatory in Los Angeles, where I’m the Director and Head Acting Teacher. Thees are committed group classes where you work week after week, alongside other serious actors, cultivating wisdom through your creative expression and building your craft with intention.

Placement Audition: Finding Your Path

I can audition you or your child for placement in the right class level. I have the wisdom to understand what you already know and how that translates into real screen acting craft. I look for what’s already alive in you; your unique instincts, your emotional capacity, your specific way of moving through a scene. Then I place you where you can build from strength, honoring both your creative truth and your growth potential. Of course, your other teachers you have studied with prior to me or that staff at The Playground.

Whether you’re ready to start at the Beginning, Advanced, or Professional level in our Undergraduate two-year program, or if you can immediately step into our Graduate Level Classes: Junior Varsity and Varsity. I’ll assess exactly where you need to be and get you into a class built for serious craft work. However, it’s really fun too!

Email me at Gaylag@theplayground.com for a placement audition.
