Free Consultation!

Our modular system, the Innate Acting Matrix, offers a great number of options ranging from basic professional output that books the job, keeps the reps happy, and over time, implants our core coaching ideals -- to mastery coaching in which ownership of the instrument, advanced storytelling, and innateness, are emphasized and created. In whatever way you would like to study with us, we guarantee your time here will evolve your craft.

All actors commence their work with our institute in one of our Flex Classes. The Flex Class is designed to familiarize new students with the quintessential parts of our system and gradually introduce you to our proprietary workflows. As our actors acclimate to our system, they will be given the option to join one of our Mastery Classes. 

Of course! Please fill out the contact form on our Enroll page here and indicate you'd like to audit a class. 

As our practice tools and methodologies are proprietary, we will ask you to sign an NDA prior to your audit.

We are located in Sunset Junction, just off Santa Monica Blvd. Our physical address will be provided upon enrollment.

Each student will have a brief online (or live under certain circumstances) Institute orientation. During your orientation, we will be discussing different aspects of your career, your craft, and your professional toolkit to determine what is the very best way to proceed. An assessment of the wants and needs of your Triangular Team:  you the actor, our coaching team, and your representatives, will play a role in determining how we proceed. We will also be assessing and discussing with you whether the class environment or private lessons are the best environment for your evolution.

In the event that you decide to leave the institute, we will provide

you with a complete accounting of your outstanding hours/balance owed.

All deferred receivables will be invoiced and you may pay your balance in

one payment, or we would be happy to arrange a payment plan for

monthly-installments, until the balance is paid off.

Given the level of investment and commitment we afford all of our

actors, we ask that you provide 30-days notice upon your decision

to leave the institute. Those not providing reasonable notice may not

be allowed back into the institute.

Flex Class is a week-to-week class in which students will learn, practice, and experience the effects of one or more of the drills, patterns, or examinations found in the Innate Acting Matrix. 

Mastery Class is a semester-based, curricular class in which students learn the Innate Acting Matrix as a means to mastery of the craft.

We have been thrilled with the results we have gotten from our online coaching. What a serendipitous gift it has been! We believe we have gained a great advantage; our coaching has become more efficient and effective as we are able to assess and coach what our actors are creating and delivering with the same unique view that casting, producers, and the audience have. 

This advantage has led to institute-wide success, and we believe it is beneficial to continue offering online coaching.

We have been thrilled with the reopening of our institute and the offering of live classes throughout 2023! 

We will adjust our class schedule and the number of live classes we offer based on demand and attendance.

You will have a scheduled weekly class that will be considered your class. If you cannot attend your scheduled class, you may attend another (same-level) scheduled class, double-up your classwork another week, (with IAI Staff confirmation), and or join the Workout Room to get the information/prep you may have missed. Other than the scheduled class times and workout rooms, there will be no makeup classes.

Our weekly Workout Room is a free service that is open to all students to prepare and/or practice their classwork, and have questions answered by one of our coaches. 

This is a great opportunity to get in extra practice and preparation! You may arrange to join other classmates or simply show up and drill/prepare with other IAI Actors. A member of our coaching staff will always be available to jump in and work with you, as needed. 

Typically open on Friday afternoons, the workout room schedule/location may change to accommodate the needs of our student body. The Workout Room day and time-window will be posted in the weekly class email. 

We reserve the right to not offer weekly Workout Rooms, in any given week.

We understand actors sometimes need regular audition coaching and preparation, and prefer or need private coaching as opposed to taking an ongoing class. We do offer a private-lesson tuition rate. Private students may allocate their lesson time (private coaching session) to audition preparation, audition taping, project preparation, or IAI Curriculum. 

Hourly rates can be found here.

Our time and energy will be allocated to our students based on their investment, loyalty, and merit. Outside of the weekly scheduled classes, we will be on call and ready to work with those of our students that are committed and invested, and they will receive priority scheduling and attention.
