Acting Coach in Los Angeles
As an Audition Coach Los Angeles, Bryan Chesters provides an actor with a one-on-one opportunity to work on a character, in a scene, and explore all the possible choices the actor can make.
The purpose behind all of this is usually an audition (in person, online or self-tape) and the goal is to provide the actor with the tools and the confidence to knock the audition out of the park and hopefully book the job.
Coaching by Appointment

Bryan is an excellent coach. He really knows how to get to the heart of a scene quickly and is able to clearly communicate direction that is spot on. The last coaching I did with him helped me to land the national tour of Mama Mia!
