Hi Everyone,
This is Winnie Hiller, the acting teacher here in r/actingclass. I created this sub to help actors who want to become better actors and don’t have resources to do so. I started doing this while I was on set of NCIS LA about 8 years ago. I’ve spent 16 years working full time on the franchise, coaching one of the stars of the show (this is our 4th NCIS show).
In the beginning, in my free time I wrote the many free Written Lessons for you all to read. I made video lessons too. They are all still available to you and I’m adding more all the time.
Well, now I’m on the other coast, working on a brand new show, NCIS NY. Though it’s the same universe, there’s a different flavor to this one. We are out on location this evening, shooting Season 1 Episode 1. It’s already been challenging, working sometimes until 2 am (which may be happing tonight). But it’s a thrill to be involved in the very first days of a show being born. Here are a few photos that don’t give too much away.
I’m still teaching Sunday Zoom classes and helping students with self tapes when I can. But for now I’m also full time on set. It’s hard work but exciting.

I love helping actors. But if you have no experience acting and have never studied the craft, you cannot just practice in your room in front of the mirror. THAT’S NOT ACTING. If you try posting on this sub asking for suggestions there is too much to tell you. You need to learn FIRST!
I created this sub to give anyone who dreams of being an actor, a better idea of what it’s all about. So please don’t post here asking for what to do to start an acting career. This whole sub has advice for you. Go to those posts and get to work!
The technique I teach is my own (a combination of all the well known schools I attended) and it is extremely effective. It’s practical and logical. Take the time to read the in depth lessons I have written for you!
