Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio Lynette Sheldon May Have Intermittent Explosive Disorder - Warning!

I believe Lynette Sheldon almost certainly has Intermittent Explosive Disorder. That's a psychiatric condition characterized by loss of control, tantrums, shouting, yelling, overblown reactions to mundane things, and even violence. Students of Lynette Sheldon, doesn't that sound familiar? That's how she behaved around my class.

So I am coming on here to warn people about her. Think twice before you waste your money and patronize the old crazy's"acting class!" She is out of her mind and need psychotropic medication desperately. She hates certain students and treats them terribly. Run, run, run!

Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio Psycho Owner Spreads Rumours About Students!

I took lessons from Lynette Sheldon and she is a maniac! I found out recently and this is two years after I was in her class that she has been spreading rumours that I wanted to kill someone. Where does this creepy woman who is clearly all brain dead from too many drugs get off telling people that I wanted to KILL anyone? She is out of her mind and crazy and there is something very wrong that she is allowed to teach people in her state of psychosis, she belongs in a mental ward and that's all there is to it! "Teacher, " my ###!

Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio - Literally Sickening

I liked Lynette Sheldon's class for what I was learning about acting and when she cuts the crap and teaches she is a very good acting teacher. On the other hand she did not like some of the people in the class including one that I really liked. Lynette hated them is more like it. Watching the way she treated those two students made me feel sick to my...

Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio Infantile, Immature Owner

I have never seen a school run like this one before. I hope I never do again. The owner has got some very serious issues and is completely out of control. I even wondered if she had suffered brain damage. She is immature and infantile, worse than a kindergartener in the way she can carry on like a lunatic. She favors whoever is dumb enough to look upon her as a mentor since even though it sounds unbelievable there are those who do and she is vicious to anyone who does not look up to her or hang on her every hysterical word. Somehow there are three locations of this nut's school, California, New York and Australia. All I can say is avoid this place! It's a lunatic asylum.

I took "lessons" with LS 14 years ago and not only did she tear into me, but she also encouraged the rest of the class to do so. This was after I approached her before the class and told her I was going through some major personal stuff and that I felt very vulnerable and maybe I should put off doing my exercise. She said no, don't worry. We are all here for you. I never felt more violated because of the months of trust I put into her...not to mention thousands of dollars for "classes". I quit acting after dealing with her craziness. It was almost like every class you'd look around and think doesn't anyone else think she's crazy? Is it just me? I can't believe people are still trusting her and getting hurt. Believe me, if this site was around 14 years ago, I would have written then. Now there are better tools so people can get the real deal on someone who turns out to be an immature vulture. If you want damage to your psyche, check her out...

Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio Crazy and unqualified, a real waste of time!

Dont waste your money on this psycho, i've read other complaint boards about her class and they were all true. I thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt but let me tell you she has no business calling herself a teacher.
Stay far far away, run for the hills. Ive been to 4 classes and couldnt take the pain any more. Dont be fooled...save your money

Her real name is Lynette Poulton and on behalf of the family I want to ask that you stop suggesting she return to Australia. While we realise that you Yanks are at wits end we don't want her back here either. London England would be the best place for her away from all of us and the bloody Pommys deserve her besides. Let her go there please and drive them crazy. Thanks Yanks!

It's her psychiatrist that I would like to have a few words with! How could her psychiatrist take her money and let her loose in the condition that she's in?

I work at HB and I resent the comment above about our studio! HB hires some of the best and the brightest award-winning actors in the business to teach classes. Lynette Sheldon, on the other hand, has a horrible reputation and a resume with dubious credits. You might want to watch what you're saying about HB.

And at HB we do not shake down our students or try and rob them, either! There's all sorts of complaints saying this Lynette Sheldon does.

I was in Lynette's class years ago, and yes it was unorganized to the organized person due to her spontanious nature, which consequently, I received more skills from her than HB studios and many other so called acting teachers. It wasn't easy being in her class, I never knew what stunt she would pull to get us out of our own heads and into the characters. So, yes, Lynette's classes were unorganized, boundless and she talked a lot about her family.

Creative people are typically unorganized, so as far as teaching is concerned she needs to spruce up the her skills on that area. However, limits on boundaries is what her job is, if an actor wants to succeed, they better not get on that stage with boundaries, that's for life. Her "family talk" did go over a bit, but learning about humanity especially within families will make identifiying with the character easier.

I took her class for two years every week three nights a week, from Rye, NY to 28th Street and I knew I was learning a great deal. That woman taught me more about myself through every level, I not only became a good actor, but I became a better person in class. Take what you want and leave the rest, if you passion, excitement, unpredicability take her class. If you want structure, organized and not so passionate try HB.

When looking at a good Acting teacher, you will never find picture perfect. Look at a teacher who has passion and devotion. Look at a teacher after being there a while before sending her back to Australia.

The situation at that school has gone on long enough. Social services needs to be called in before Lynette Sheldon hurts somebody.

Lynette Sheldon Actors Studio Shakedowns

This school is run like it's some kind of mafia. They try to get people to pay for classes we never signed up for or took. IRS ought to take a look at the books of this place. It's run by savages.

As a current student of hers (sydney, australia) i have to say Lynette is a great teacher, as mentioned by others she is tough but only in the sense it's tough to hear the truth. She actively works to improve each of her students technique, has a good sense of humor and obvious passion for the craft (hence she teaches it). If you can't deal with her constructive criticism you certainly
Wont be able to handle the industry, acting is for the willing and tough not the stubborn and unchanging.

I have had the pleasure of having the fabulous and talented Lynette Sheldon teach me for a short while right here in Melbourne Australia and in all honesty I didn't want my time with her to end. Not only has she taught me some of the most important acting techniques that will stay with me forever but she has had enough compassion to take the time to find within me that things that i need to work on as an actress, something other well known teachers never cared enough to address. Like all things in life somethings that may work for one person may not work for another, I love the way she teaches and recommend her to anyone with a backbone because she is tough and will tell you how it is, so if you are the type of person who can't handle constructive criticism don't take her classes, however in the meantime to the others who have had negative things to say how dare you bad mouth someone who has dedicated her life to sharing her knowledge of acting, ? After all she was taught by Stella Adler herself and anyone who has heard about Stella knows that she too is a strong woman... Lynette's technique of teaching comes from the great vine... for those of you considering taking a class from Lynette, take one... you be the judge.

Kindest of Regards,

Miss Jennifer Apap

She hounds her students to take more lessons, she calls at all hours of the day or night, she pressures then, she drives her students crazy!
She has no respect for students. My spouse was in her class and I saw what she does to them!

I must say, I am very disappointed reading these complaints. I took acting lessons for two years at Lynette's and never had a problem getting charged for classes I did not take! Lynette is an excellent teacher. She is very tough but if she wasn't tough on me I would have learned NOTHING. You can go to a class and have someone tell you are great at everything but how will you learn? Would you sign up for a college class in acting and then tell the school you are not paying for the semester because you didn't like the first class or two? If you commit to a semester with Lynette she deserves the same respect. She dedicates her life teaching this craft to others but she has bills to pay too.

For this class, why doesn't Lynette simply get a good old fashioned Suggestion Box? I think it would be a whole lot better for students with grievances to put them in a Suggestion Box rather than onto the Internet.

I was in the class and it was pretty good. Come on, people, give Lynette a break here.

Dear Buckledown...,

You're reading comprehension is CRAP. I said, if people are really serious about complaining they should be legitimate about it: call BBB, IRS, or City of NY. But no one here is really serious because slander on the web is much easier. If you complain to a legitimate authority, LS has the right to defend herself and the complaintee has to give solid verifiable reasons. No one does this, because no one here has a leg to stand on. It's simple slander - destroy her name, but don't let her defend herself.

Now I've seen everything. Just everything! Someone gets reported on here for shaking people down. One of her friends replies and says call the IRS on her. What kind of a friend would say call the IRS on her. That's crazy. Especially in this economy. The IRS pays rewards for information about people like that! I should report her myself and see what I can get. I wont but I should.
