Best of the Valley: BEST ACTING SCHOOL

"The Valley may be full of aspiring actors, but as any movie star-in-the-making knows: Making the transition from waiting tables to working in your chosen profession can be tough. That's where David Kagen's School of Film Acting in North Hollywood comes into the picture. Kagen, who has coached such pros as Ted Danson and Alec Baldwin, has been practicing his craft for 30 years. What sets his school apart from the others that proliferate the entertainment capital of the world? "Two things," Kagen says. "The first is that all my instructors have conservatory training and extensive experience. And second, we teach real world skills that actors need to complete effectively to get work." He could also add another attribute. Kagen keeps his classes small, to a maximum of 12 students. Each budding thespian performs before video cameras twice in each session, giving them more bang for their buck. Classes are for beginners to professional, and those who enroll participate once or twice per week (or more), depending on their budget. Now roll tape! "
