Who are we?
LB Acting Studio is a professional On-Camera training facility located in the heart of Toronto, Ontario.
We welcome actors and artists from all walks of life and from across the globe. Our goal is to help you restore joy and creativity into your work as an artist through a truthful and courageous creative process.
At LB, we believe expressing oneself through work is more important than figuring out what “they” want.
Our mandate is to bring joy and authenticity to the process of preparing for & delivering a role in film and TV. We help actors advance their careers, book more work and excel while on set. LB Acting Studio offers weekly group classes, private coaching sessions and periodic workshops for working actors and beginner actors alike. We help you go deeper quicker! We use techniques based on the science of the human brain. We believe a character grows from within us. It is not something to construct.
We serve as a bridge from the classroom to the set by providing the artist with opportunities to form creative alliances, and by being a hub for disseminating knowledge and insights designed to foster artistic growth.
At LB Acting Studio, we see you as an artist, and a human, not a brand.
