East Valley Acting Studio

From beginner to pro — acting classes, private training, and career coaching designed to help you stand out, grow your skills, and get cast.

Acting Classes, Coaching, and Career Guidance for Actors Nationwide

At East Valley Acting Studio, we help actors build real skills, grow their confidence, and better understand how to navigate the entertainment industry. Whether you are brand new to acting or already pursuing auditions and opportunities, our training is designed to help you grow with clear direction, practical tools, and honest feedback.

Our virtual acting classes and private coaching focus on the work that actually matters. Actors train in scene study, script analysis, audition technique, self tapes, cold reading, character development, and on-camera performance skills. Classes are interactive, supportive, and designed to help actors stop overthinking and start making stronger, more confident choices in their work.

What makes East Valley Acting Studio different is that we go beyond performance training alone. Actors also receive guidance on the business side of the industry, including branding, marketing yourself as an actor, understanding opportunities, avoiding scams, and knowing what steps to take next. Many actors feel overwhelmed trying to figure everything out on their own. Our goal is to help make the process feel clearer, more realistic, and more approachable.

With experience in acting, casting, talent representation, theater education, production, marketing, branding, and career consulting, Leslie Infalt brings a well-rounded industry perspective that helps actors grow both creatively and professionally. Students receive real-world insight designed to help them feel more prepared, more confident, and more connected to where they want to go.

From time to time, guest industry professionals including casting directors, directors, working actors, and other entertainment professionals join classes and workshops to share insight, feedback, and real-world perspective on today’s industry.

East Valley Acting Studio offers virtual acting classes and coaching for kids, teens, and adults nationwide, along with select workshops and special events throughout the year.

Whether your goal is to build confidence, sharpen your craft, prepare for auditions, or start taking your acting career more seriously, this is a place where you can grow, train consistently, and move forward with support.

30 Years On Set, On Stage, and In Your Corner

I’m Leslie Infalt — actor, writer, director, and your new favorite coach.

With over three decades in the industry, I’ve done it all: from national commercials to indie films, from directing stage productions to repping talent as an agent. I’ve coached actors at every level, taught in schools, and sat on both sides of the casting table.

I know the craft, the business, and the BS — and I’m here to help you navigate it all with skill and confidence.

My coaching isn’t fluff. It’s real-world training that helps you audition stronger, book smarter, and build a career that lasts. Whether you’re brand new or leveling up, I meet you where you are… and push you where you need to go.
