More Or Les (December 2024/January 2025)

From: $95.00

More Or Les (“MOL”)  is our intense, twice daily bootcamp for actors. While our Ongoing Classes remain the ideal environment in which to master Lesly’s Kahncepts, MOL is an excellent, fast-paced, freakishly low-priced alternative or add-on. 

Actors say MOL is like bootcamp. You get to work on two auditions and several roles everyday so your real auditions and self-tapes become far less precious, and your work on set becomes exhilarating, effortless and inspired.   

“I remember when I shot my first guest star on a major network show. Everything was new and fresh, exciting and completely terrifying. I was thrilled and petrified. For me, it was the greatest day of my life! For everyone else? It was Tuesday.” – a loose paraphrase of something actor/screenwriter Ryan Raddatz once said  

More or Les makes acting routine — a thing you do every day, so when you’re on set, on camera or in the room, it’s just another Tuesday.

• What’s MOL?

    • MOL is two, short, daily, kickass acting classes that usually meet on weekdays between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm Pacific time for four weeks (that’s about 40 classes each month!). You can join anytime. 
    • MOL classes are held on Zoom, last no more than an hour, and are taught by Lesly and other LK&Co. faculty as well as the occasional special guest or two. Material is generally selected from projects that are currently-casting. Rehearsals are scheduled by the group. There is no attendance requirement — just show up whenever you can. 

• Who is MOL for? Actors who

    • don’t have time for an Ongoing Class but still want all the benefits, and/or 
    • want multiple, daily opportunities to
      • perform and practice acting in front of other people,
      • receive insight, feedback, notes, advice, coaching, training, one-on-one attention and high-level guidance regarding their individual work, abilities, skills and performance, the Business of the Business, and their marketing, 
      • work on at least two new pieces of currently-casting material every day,  
      • improve their text analysis, choice-making, listening, and technique, 
      • create consistent, best practices for their acting and lives,
      • focus on their individual acting and auditioning (as opposed to their day job, children, etc.), and 
      • be accountable.

• What does MOL cost? Between $2.50-$5.00 per class. Two participation options are available:     

    • Working Actor perform in one class per day and attend both for less than $5 per class or as little as $2.50 per class if you choose an annual membership plan; limited spots are available.   
    • Undercover Actorswatch, learn and attend both classes for less than $3 per class.  

• What’s a Membership Plan? 

Working Actors only may elect to purchase a membership. The MORE months you sign up for, the MORE you save and the LES(s) you spend. Payment plans are available.

    • We combine December and January into one month of class, but you will be billed in both months. For example, if you purchase a 6-month membership beginning in November, your membership would be for Nov, Dec/Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr and May. Your payments would be processed in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, and Apr. We are tracking the number of payments as well as the months of your membership even though they may not be aligned.  
    • To sign up for a Membership plan, you must save a payment option in our system. During checkout, just check the box that says, “Save payment information to my account for future purchases.”

    • MOL is a monthly offering; it is not based on the number of classes attended.     
    • There are no make-ups for MOL
    • MOL is not refundable or transferable. 

• Why Should I Take MOL? 

MOL classes have proven to be the missing link for so many actors! People are actually … booking jobs! Yes, even now! Here is a smattering of some of the mind-blowing feedback we’ve received:   

      • “I haven’t booked in forever, and I booked a job!” 
      • “Damn, I wish I had been back in class all this time!!!!” 
      • It’s like HIIT (high intensity interval training) — but for acting; 
        HILT! High Intensity Lesly Training!” 
      • “Now I’m cringing at things I missed in some of my recent work. Grrrrr!!!” 
      • “MOL is bootcamp without the torture!” 
      • “My reps are so much happier with my work now. They say my tapes are getting great response from casting!” 
      • I love the format, the community, the exposure to material, the re-instilling of lessons, and the lack of pressure but opportunity to perform. 
      • I am a working actor who was part of your professional Tuesday night Ongoing and I still get something from your More or Les class every week. 
      • Having the rotating teachers feels like going in for different CDs or working with different directors; everyone says things a little differently. 
      • It is making me feel invincible, that I can handle anything thrown at me. 
      • Daring to suck feels less scary when you have the opportunity to do it more often.” 

We hope to see you soon!
