Shaping UP to the competition. Lifebook is far ahead.
Written by Allen Levin
4/3/11

We teach you at Lifebook not to be afraid of your personal power and choices, the ones only you have within you. Lifebook as a company practices this policy. You are trained to use your unfair competitive advantages to book professional work and build your career on a stronger level. We too will use our unfair competitive advantages (Student Satisfaction, Tuition Price, Guarantee, Teacher), to make the case that Lifebook Acting Academy is a wise choice.

Yelp.com is one of the best places to find reviews for companies on the internet. Today on Yelp.com, Lifebook is currently the highest rated acting studio. With 28 reviews (also see the filtered reviews) we have a perfect 5.0 rating from our more than satisfied students. All 28 reviewers rated Lifebook a perfect 5.0.

Compare our scores to other schools. We have plenty of ratings and the top score. In the number of reviews we count every review each business gets, main page and filtered (although in this first comparison the filtered reviews do not affect the official Yelp.com score - we have a more fair comparison below).

Notice the tuition costs: Many acting classes in Los Angeles cost over DOUBLE our tuition and it's not easy to find out their prices unless you go in and sit through quite a sales pitch.

Lifebook advises you to pay less and get more by studying with us.

Can we make the Yelp scores more fair?
Many times the main score doesn't tell the entire tale. The filtered links shouldn't be filtered. When reviews are filtered their score doesn't reflect on the company score. Sometimes companies pay reviewing websites to filter out the bad scores and leave them the good. Let's see where we really stack up!
If we give all reviews:

• 2 points for a 5
• 1 point for a 4
• 0 points for a 3 (a very average rating)
• -1 points for a 2
• -2 points for a 1

How do our competing acting studios stack up? This way the filtered reviews can count and a higher number of reviews (thus more students reviewing) weighs more. This system is more fair.

Lifebook:				60 points
Acting Corps:				25 points **(warning: suspicious reviews)
Beverly Hills Playhouse:		22 points
Margie Haber:				15 points
Playhouse West:				12 points
Ivana Chubbuck:				<10 points>  (negative 10)

**Acting Corps had many days where a number of 5 star reviews were posted the same day. It appears there was some foul play to Yelp.com as well. Out of 32 reviews, 26 have been filtered. This is unique. Usually about half are filtered.

The choice of an acting school is a very important consideration. Please do your own due diligence as well. Feel free to call or email us and ask questions. Ask students at Lifebook what they think of the course work, the teacher, and if you should participate.

We'd love to help you build your dreams into reality in our community. We invite you to Lifebook to move forward with a winning team and a strong leader.

With Lifebook you have absolutely nothing to lose and so much to gain.

I hope you'll study with us.
Feel free to email me directly with any questions you have.
I will respond personally as quickly as I can.
