Anyone have recommendations for quality acting courses taught in the San Francisco east or north bay at community colleges? Id like to get back into learning, developing acting though cant afford the fees for most private and group acting classes ive heard about.
I had started attending Napa Valley Colleges basic acting class last year, but moved farther south during it and was unable to finish it. The teacher seemed competent and focused, which i appreciated.
Though some people dont feel the difference warrents distinction, I am more interested in the subtler, natural feeling often found taught and expressed in acting for film rather then the exagerated, overly theatrical or shakesperian melodrama often found in classes focused associated with many theater or drama classes.
Im a relative beginner in acting, with only a few basic acting classes since 1985.
And prefer classes taught / held in the east or north bay, rather then san francisco as the commute to sf is too much and too expensive & unpredictable for parking, which is an extra hassle i dont want right now.
Any recommendations are appreciated.

Re: acting class recommendations at local community colleges?
Sat, September 3, 2005 - 2:15 AMIm also open to recommendations for high quality and affordable, ongoing acting classes suitable for beginners as well as advanced / experiences actors through private acting coaches / teachers. Not just through community colleges.
Prefer taking classes from an actor/ress with plenty of quality experience and performance in film/tv/ and theater themselves, not someone who simply takes classes (or not) then goes into teaching. But with plenty of high quality experience as an actor/ress themselves.
Needs to be within the SF Bay area, preferably in the east bay or marin areas.
Ideally a class held at least once a week for 3 or more hours per class.
So far one of the most attractive class ive found so far is www.theactorscenter-sf.com/
- its just too darned expensive.
