The Benefits of Childhood Acting
Could your kiddo benefit from a big bump in confidence, charisma and school-friendly skills like reading, memorization, annunciation and music? If yes - have you considered acting lessons?

Acting instruction isn't just for the children who seem like "naturals," though they absolutely will benefit from formal education, too. Private lessons will infuse your child with the confidence to master monologues, scene work, auditions, diction and speech, singing and breathing techniques, acting through song and much more.

And it's more affordable than you might think. Private lessons that are customized to your child's skills and goals are $40 for a half hour and $60 for an hour at Olivia's Dollhouse Tea Room Toluca Lake. Available for children 8 and older, the courses are taught by Ada Marinelli, a working SAG-union actress with a master's degree in acting for film and undergraduate degree in musical theater. All levels are welcome and will benefit from Ada's usage of the Meisner technique, a well-recognized premier method of acting instruction.
