Susan’s work is transformative. In just a few months, she has taken my acting to an entirely different level. Every technique she teaches, she has mastered herself. She acknowledges the commitment that goes into acquiring these skills and if you give yourself fully to it, you will be rewarded. Susan pushes you to be the best you can be, always leading with kindness, empathy, and passion for the craft. I come away from every class feeling excited about the upward trajectory of my acting as well as feeling inspired by Susan herself. If you want to become the best actor you can be, this is where you go. I am eternally grateful to Susan and her studio.

When Sue was first recommended to me, I decided to read her book before reaching out to her. Books give a really good sense of what you'll be getting out of a class as well as if you align on craft, as not every technique works for every actor. After reading her book, I realized what was missing in my acting and could not jump into class fast enough. I now coach with Sue one-on-one because I want to get her all to myself as much as I can. Not only is she a wonderfully gifted teacher, but she's also a gem of a human being. She does everything with a lot of passion and a big heart. Not to mention she's funny as hell!

I have been studying with Susan for three years now, and I always leave class feeling more authentic and confident in my artistry. She takes the time to see and understand each of her students and creates a safe space for us to explore and reach our full potential. She is the best!! Would highly recommend for all aspiring actors and artists.

Sue is incredible! I have been studying with her for almost a year, and am so much more confident now in my acting abilities because of her training techniques. Sue is full of life and passion - she is selfless in her teaching and is committed to get each actor to work authentically. I love that she keeps her classes small and intimate, allowing for each person to have quality training in every session. She covers on camera work, plays, script analysis and offers private coaching for auditions. You can really just tell she loves what she does, which makes working with her a joy. I'm so glad I found her and am excited to continue learning from her in the future.

I love working with Susan! I started working with her as a beginning actor, and her method is amazing. She really has you tap in to your emotional core and learn how to use your experiences through the work of acting. She is passionate and cares about each, and every one of her students growth. Not only does she have decades of theater and television experience, but her personal ability to read her students and understand went to push them and when to pull back is extremely important for me. Many acting teachers just push and push and don’t know what is healthy and what isn’t and she really focuses on training actors in a healthy, fun, and challenging way. I recommend her to anyone looking for full, in-depth acting training here in LA.

Her class doesn’t just apply to acting, it really does apply to life. As a professional dancer, who wasn’t booking many jobs, after taking her class, I gained self-confidence and was able to start booking jobs, and just learned a lot about myself through the process. She’s so much more than just an Acting Coach!

I am thrilled to have found Susan Giosa’s Acting workshop. I’ve tried other classes and finally found just the right approach using Sue’s unique techniques. What I appreciate so dearly is her emotional intelligence. She is compassionate, focused and has a fabulous sense of humor. For me, coming from improv and sketch comedy, Sue’s workshops are exactly what I’ve needed. She’s helping me to expand my access to my emotional core. The other students are committed and supportive. Thank you Sue!

Even on Zoom you learn a lot. Taking her classes has changed my acting and my life too, it’s always such a pleasure to listen to her and after every class I feel wiser and more grown not only as an actress but also as a human being. I am so grateful for being one of her students. Thank you Sue for everything, you are a great teacher and an amazing person.

As a professional choreographer and dancer, Susan’s acting workshop unlocked not only new levels to my artistry but a new outlook on life itself. I have found a new voice via her exceptional and rigorous techniques that go beyond other classes I’ve audited. True training that transcends film, tv, stage and more!
