9th Level Acting Studios is one of the friendliest entry points in this directory. Working actor Alex Boling teaches on-camera film and TV classes in Hollywood with a comedy-forward, low-pressure approach aimed squarely at beginners, shy actors, and people managing performance anxiety.

The structure is simple: Thursday classes (an afternoon and an evening section), $200 per month for four classes, and one-on-one coaching in person or over Zoom at published rates. A 30-minute private coaching session with taping can even be used as a make-up for a missed class, which is more flexible than most studios manage. Boling also works scenes in French and German, unusual for LA.

A free participating audit is offered to email-list subscribers, so you can try the room before paying anything. The operation is small and personal: no published street address (the Hollywood location is shared when you book), one teacher, and by-appointment scheduling outside the Thursday slots. For a first-ever acting class with a working actor at one of the lowest published prices in this directory, it earns its place.
