Industry Professional series

New offering for 2023!

Occasionally, or as much as possible, we're going to offer a series of classes where we'll work hard for three weeks—and then get feedback from an industry professional on Week Four!

At the Andi Matheny Acting Studios, we've always offered affordable classes for actors working hard to build their career. The tuition for the Industry Professional series will vary by guest, remaining reasonable for the working actor. This series is highly recommended for experienced actors with previous training.

As usual, the presence of an industry professional is not a guarantee of employment. But it will be a great learning experience and a chance for you to flex your acting muscle!

TESTIMONIALS

If you’re ready to take on the challenge of preparing a scene, practicing, fine-tuning and ultimately performing for an industry professional (and receive their feedback), this is the class for you! Not only do you get to work with like-minded actors looking to better their skills, you receive weekly feedback from Andi which allows you to shape/mold your scene throughout the course. It’s excellent practice if you’re in-between bookings.

I’ve already signed up for another session and can’t wait for the next experience.

Landrum Arts LA aka Landrum Talent aka LALA was established in 2005 with a family of professional agents from both California and the Southeast.

Landrum is home based in Shreveport, Louisiana which is a prime centralized location within the United States.

Logistically, Louisiana is a “right to work” state meaning that agents based in Louisiana may submit and book in any other state without having a boundary limit.  Also, both union and non union actors can work on union projects in "right to work" states.  This freedom remarkably opens the market to book Talent in all states from Los Angeles to New York and all states in between. Landrum is a one-stop shop for all types of industry jobs and opportunities including commercials, print, voice over, motion capture, audio books, series, web/tv, feature films, live events, comic cons, and all manners of stage and screen.

 

Landrum has in-house management that works diligently to educate Talent with information and consistency to maintain a uniform professionalism.  Reputation, work ethic, respect, and quality is very important to us and we like to believe that this is the heart of our success.
