Experienced tutor in Acting in Los Angeles, Walid offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Walid is a great acting coach! I’ve loved working with him on my monologues and scene study during our zoom acting lessons each week.

I was just starting out and unsure of my next steps. Walid helped me get my business tools in order, then coached me to make stronger choices and connect emotionally in every scene. His guidance sharpened my on-camera work, audition prep, and overall presence. I felt more grounded, more bookable—and I looked professional on paper too.

walid just gets it. he knows what casting directors are looking for and helped me fine-tune my auditions without losing what makes me unique. i’ve worked with a few coaches before but he’s the first one who really made me feel like i had a plan. also super chill to work with—keeps it real but still pushes you. i started booking more after just a few sessions and even got interest from a manager. honestly, if you’re serious about acting, he’s the one to work with.

Working with Walid Chaya has been a game changer for me. He creates such a supportive, professional environment where I felt challenged but also completely seen as an artist. His industry knowledge is unmatched—he doesn’t just teach technique, he teaches strategy. Every session is personalized, and I left each one with clear takeaways I could apply immediately. Thanks to his coaching, I’ve grown more confident on camera, improved my audition skills, and even landed meetings with agents. Walid truly cares about his students’ success and it shows in everything he does.

I'm new to all of this and Walid has makes our lessons very informative and enjoyable. Excited to learn more and go on my first audition soon.

Best acting coach in NYC.

I loved having Mr. Walid as my teacher for acting. He's very nice and he encouraged me to try out for my school play. He even helped me pick a monologue because I didn't know where to find one. It was really good and he is a good teacher!!!!!

Walid saves the day when we get a last minute audition. He works with my child, Travis, on his sides while teaching him lifelong acting lessons along the way. Travis says he feels prepared in the audition room and I know Walid helps bring this confidence forward.

I really like the scripts we use during our lessons. All of it it just like what I do when I am called in for a casting, Walid provides real world teaching. I suggest him as a teacher for sure.

Kind and organized, we love going to Walid for coaching and his classes in New York. My daughter booked a commercial after coaching with Walid too.
