Experienced tutor in Acting in Los Angeles, Curtis offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Curtis is meticulous, highly creative, inventive and caring. He does his utmost to put you at ease and let you shine -- and ensures that you end up with a taping that you are proud of!

I like working with Curtis because he gets me passed my comfort zone. I love his set up and I feel better about my preparation once I leave.

I've both hired actors from Curtis' class and sent actors I've hired to him. There is no one better than getting an actor to his best performance than Curtis Bechdholt.

He really is very good at pinpointing what his students need to work on. I appreciate the honest feedback he gives and it really helps. After the students first run and him providing coaching, the students were a lot better on their second/third run. His years of experience in the acting industry is very invaluable

I’ve been going to Curtis for over 3 years now. What I like about working with him is that he works from a space of empathy, and respect. He takes the time to understand what you need, and gives you the tools, and the space for you to succeed as an artist. He is rooting for you.

Very specific, kind, and knows what he is doing. He truly cares about supporting actors with their self-tapes.

Curtis is an excellent and very affordable coach. What sets him apart from other people I've coached with is the fact that Curtis knows what casting, and, even more importantly, what the producers are looking for. From the way you enter a scene to the way you hit your beats. The emotions you need to be expressing. He really gets it.

And he will absolutely not let you leave until your scene is perfect. He really really cares that you do the best work that you can.

He also does self tapes, so you can coach and tape and he will send everything to you, ready to go for casting.

Curtis works well with everyone's abilities, so no matter who he is working with, he can suggest ways to improve and make a character or behavior more specific, and therefore interesting. I always learn so much, whether I am coming in for coaching on an audition or doing a self-tape. He has a nuanced eye, a passion for his work, and truly cares about the people he works with. He really believes everyone has something to offer and helps bring it out in them.

Curtis is AMAZING!!! He finds unique touches to help you stand out and really cares about the work

Curtis, really cares, and his skill at helping actors is unmatched. His teaching has helped me book many roles.

Curtis provides a professional class environment driven towards helping actors book jobs. His on camera work is attentive to each actor and specific to each character they play. His ability to pull performances, while simultaneously teaching technique is both instructive and powerfully motivating. His attention to character detail is unsurpassed as is his ability to build confidence. When working with Curtis you come away with a belief in yourself to walk into a casting room and book the job.

Curtis is fun to work with and he is always getting the best performance out of me. I love it when my manager or agent compliment my self-tape auditions. Curtis has a lot to do with that.

Curtis is extremely professional. Always makes me feel very comfortable, gives great direction and will keep shooting me until he is sure my performance is up to industry standard. I am confident the work I turn into my agents will always be great and the casting directors will always see me at my best.

I've been taping all my auditions with him for over a year and he is always my first choice, hands down.

He’s professional, patience and honest with his feedbacks!

I love that Curtis is able to zero in on what makes each performer unique and help them bring out that essence. He's not a cookie cutter teacher, he takes a different approach to each actor. He also always has ideas that feel organic but not stereotypical or boring. As an actor himself he knows the right vocabulary to use to bring out the right emotional life!

Curtis is an incredible acting coach. I trust him fully with every audition I have. Almost every callback or booking I’ve gotten is because I coached with Curtis before hand. He is my secret weapon!

kind, sound, solid, experienced advice and adjustments, gets back to you in a timely manner, and high quality looking results.

Amazing coach and human! Every time I leave his class I always feel inspired! Curtis is really able to bring out the best in your work! I recommend him to all my friends.

I met Curtis on set over 5 years ago now. He’s always been a kind, outgoing and all around amazing person and actor. I was one of his first acting coach clients in LA and have been using his services ever since. Curtis really understands what it takes to get the job. He’s always looking for interesting ways to take on a character, something that will make you stand out. He’s also the best scene partner and really goes there emotionally every time. Not to mention he’s super flexible and always goes out of his way. Highly recommend you try him out! Either private coaching or his weekly classes, you won’t be disappointed. :)

Excellent acting coach and wonderful audition coach as well! I've booked many, many jobs with the precision guidance Curtis provides!

Curtis is one of the most insightful acting coaches I have ever worked with. He completely personalizes each session to your ability and pushes you to grow as an artist in a constructive and meaningful way. I always walk out feeling so fulfilled. He has a special teaching gift!

Curtis is an excellent acting and audition technique coach! He is patient, encouraging and knows how to get the best performance. I love the fact that I can go to him get coached and put myself on tape in one place, at the same time if necessary.

Through Curtis’ coaching, I’ve learned how to break habits that have hindered me in past auditions. He’s helped me reach a level of confidence in my work- to TRUST myself, remain in it- experiencing the turns, the beats, the stillness in the scene(s). It’s incredibly awesome, refreshing and empowering. I now enter rooms well prepared, focused, using all my tools which I continue to build upon. I highly recommend actors of all levels to work with Curtis Bechdholt Studio.

Curtis teaches some of the best techniques that help you bring your characters to life. He breaks the classes into different sections, so you're technically getting much more than scene study. He has a ton of experience as a working actor and teacher & it's nice getting advice from someone who knows what they are talking about. I took a 1 on 1 session and his character/script breakdown technique was extremely helpful. His classes are also very affordable. I highly recommend his class to anyone wanting to take their acting to the next level.

The difference prior to coaching on-camera and after is incredible. He caters his teaching style to every student, making it easy for students from all different acting backgrounds. The class is really supportive, and working on scenes outside of class helps a lot. Taking a note/direction in the room from the CD is so easy now thanks to this class.

Curtis provides an open atmosphere to explore and create that allows for discovery and growth. His knowledge and skill as an actor and coach help me to understand my abilities as an actor and how to strengthen and hone my craft.

curtis coaches to find the performance that stands out for who you are. he is not only an experienced actor but understands what the casting directors are looking for in a performance. he takes the time needed to get to the final performance needed and makes sure you are comfortable in that performance in order to show the best of what you can offer.

Curtis gives ample time to develop your self-tape auditions, has a professional set-up, and is flexible and creative to work with.
