Wayne's Meisner program has been the most pivotal for my acting technique. And, he's the only Meisner coach in Los Angeles who can show you how to use Meisner in comedy!

You will be hard pressed to find an acting instructor so dedicated to his students as Wayne Dvorak. He stays uniquely true to the Meisner method of acting -- developing your emotional response, knowing how to prepare for an acting role, and offering the most believable and real performance possible

He is so straightforward-so if you're ready to be a professional actor, get ready to hear what he has to say. The way he breaks down the Meisner technique is incredible... he doesn't read it from a book. He's been doing this for so many years he works with you one-on-one. He will work with you until you unwrap all your emotions!

[The Wayne Dvorak Acting Studio showcases] consistently professional work in a non-competitive and positive atmosphere. Professionalism gives you the edge in this competitive industry.

The Meisner training was a major factor in me booking the lead in a SAG Independent feature. Getting to read for many working casting directors, in the studio's Professional Program, has been a great opportunity which has led to several auditions for network episodes and independent films.

The Wayne Dvorak Acting Studio is serious training for the SERIOUS actor. Wayne taught me how to draw out and work with my creativity in an honest and safe environment. I learned a skilled commitment to my craft, that I use on every set!

Any actor looking for a solid foundation to his craft will greatly benefit from Wayne Dvorak's Meisner training. Wayne's classes are small and effective and every student gets the education they deserve to dig deep in creating truth under imaginary circumstances in a safe and supportive environment.
