Dennis LaValle

This is the official YouTube account for the LaValle Actor's Workshop, a scene-study acting class in Van Nuys, CA. Videos consist of information about the studio, acting tips and advice both artistic and career-oriented, and examples of scene work from established students of the class as well as newcomers. 

Acting coach and Director Dennis LaValle teaches an eclectic technique melded from his over twenty five years of experience on stage, film, television and commercial work. "I think it's important to learn specific techniques, but no one school of thought will suffice in all situations." As Shakespeare said, "Suit the action to the word, the word to the action." Dennis teaches a way of creating characters that draw from the vast experiences each individual actor possesses.
