Individualized & Powerful Actor Training

Chekhov Studio International is an Internationally acclaimed Acting Studio devoted to Brave, Emotionally Available, Physically Capable, and Viscerally Captivating Acting

that leads to Unforgettable Performances. Marjo-Riikka Makela, Finnish actress and international acting coach, is gaining worldwide attention for her successful acting studio in Los Angeles. Currently, Chekhov Studio International is the only studio based in Los Angeles to offer thorough, in-depth training in the Michael Chekhov Technique, and is the go-to studio for international actors looking to expand their careers to Hollywood. Makela founded Chekhov Studio International with the goal of training a serious ensemble of actors under the discipline, dedication, and inspiration central to the Michael Chekhov Technique. Many professional actors have claimed the technique as integral to their craft, including Johnny Depp, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, and Lloyd Bridges.

1. We not only believe that acting is an art form but we also want our actors to be successful, happy “professional human beings” who have the ability, courage and stamina to explore and express all colors of the human condition. To be an actor, you must love the art of acting and keep in mind that this is a profession of calling.

2. We wholeheartedly believe that acting is a profession of joy. Even when the character is suffering, a part of the actor’s creative being will be enjoying the ride. Learning to empower oneself as a creator in any job situation, and being inspired to love all aspects of the actor’s creative process is crucial for the actor’s personal feeling of success and happiness.

3. We call for those actors who want to expand their ability for empathy,widen their emotional and physical range, and find organic ways to achieve character transformation, these being some of the key elements to great acting. Acting is not a profession of competing with other actors, but rather a vocation of sharing with fellow human beings.

4. Therefore, we won’t let you hide in a crowd of people. For the utmost positive effect on your acting, we keep our class size to as small as 6 actors/session, and only accept maximum of 16 people in our classes at all times. You will work extensively in each class.

5. In our classes you are never alone or uninspired. You will be supported to take care of your actor’s instrument daily. You will learn to “imagine with your body”, and you will consistently find inspiration, not only by the limited means of personal experiences, but also by the limitless means of your imagination. Welcome to the inspired world of the Michael Chekhov Technique!!!
