Silver Layne Studios

ugh… this parking situation. not cool.
i really wish they’d schedule auditions not to conflict with the tow away after 4 on their street. what a nightmare of a place to park AT!
park on las palmas

This studio is definitely one of the better studios that I have been to for my daughter’s casting call auditions. It was pretty easy for me to locate without a GPS (I was having one of those kind of days.) on Santa Monica Boulevard since I had already been to other casting studios in the area. Thankfully parking was easily located within one quick loop around the neighboring side street off of Santa Monica Boulevard.
As always, be very aware of where you park your car whenever in Los Angeles, or anywhere for that matter. I always allot for plenty of time for traffic and so I can basically scope out the location of the studio seeing where the best street option to park would be. And always, always read the signs before leaving your car because you’d hate to come out from an audition and not have a car to come back to!
Once inside the studio, I was glad to see a clean, spacious open loft type of waiting area with lots of bench seats available. Even with the crowded waiting room, including a constant flow of people coming and going, the room temperature still felt comfortable and not muggy. I was very grateful for that with the hot weather we’ve been recently having. No one wants to look sweaty before their audition. There were also clean bathrooms readily available and accessible, if needed.
We hope that our future auditions and call backs are at this or similar comfortable studios!

Unilocal 100 Review Challenge 2014

Silver Layne is my favorite casting studio in Hollywood! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Never had a bad experience here. Park on Las Palmas!

The place was easy to find. 6660 Santa Monica blvd.
Even if you’re straight off the boat to LA, Santa Monica is a main popular street anyone can find, star for that.
Don’t park on Santa Monica after 4pm.
You’ll get towed. I deducted one star for that.
My audition was at 3, I got there 2:45p.m found parking pretty much right in front. I gave myself plenty of time in case they were going slow and I had to move my car.
Clean facility, star for that. We had to stretch because we had to do yoga in there and there was enough space for the actors to stretch before going in the room. Star for that. Not that the space was super large or anything but it was just right.
The bathroom was clean too, star for that:)
Break a leg!

Nice enough studio. The wait area is nice but the actual sign in for auditions is a little tacky. Staff for the most part was friendly, although the little «man» at the front was a bit meh lol. Anyway, I like this studio and hope to have other auditions here in the future :)
I give SLS an easy 4 out of 5 stars.
