Siren Studios

If you’re an actor/​actress, you know the «Bidness» can be hard. Whether or not you audition on a regular basis, it sucks when you walk into a room full of frazzled actors as nervous as you, and get a really bad vibe from the people working there. Almost as if they begrudge your existence in their studio instead of being grateful they have hardworking performers who fight through hours of traffic on a weekly basis to come to them and give them the best they’ve got to keep said «bidness» running.
Such a unwelcome welcome is NOT what you’ll find when you come here. At least, not from my experience. The people here were surprisingly warm from the moment I walked in, and that in turn carried over to the actors who were decidedly more at ease than in most other situations I’ve been in. The vibe is chill, and I kid you not, they offered me candy and beverages when I walked in. Not to mention they’re situated, literally, next door to Coffee Commissary– which happens to serve some of the best java in LA.
I can’t give specifics on my particular audition/​project, but I can say even the casting director and session runners were super sweet. Honestly, I wish all studios in LA were this great. Sure, it’s a hard business. But it can be made so much more enjoyable and rewarding when people are nice to each other and genuinely want to help each other succeed. Wouldn’t you agree?

My daughter and I came for an audition. Finding parking is difficult depending on the day of week and time especially when the ocean is pouring down rain. Security guard was friendly and helpful. Production staff was nice. Person working front desk was helpful in directing my daughter to restroom. It was cool to see the huge selection of wardrobe available for projects as you enter the lobby restroom. Casting room was very spacious, well lit, comfortable, and clean. One of the nicest casting rooms I’ve visited. I’ve been to this studio before for the Lexus Nexus event. Fun location with a lot of activities.

Cool space! Friendly and informative staff.

Tonight was the big annual party by the one and only, the crème de la crème of cosmetics, LA MER! The Siren was not so impressive. Maybe La Mer paid Gwyneth Paltrow, Nichole Richie and Kate Hudson too much and didn’t have much money left over for the rest of the party.
The o’rdourves were ok but I guess the best and only best part of the night was the FREE open bar! Need I say more? Nah. Not impressed!
Oh, btw, many Unilocalers mentioned that parking sucks. Maybe, I can’t say because La Mer was kind enough to provide us with a chauffeur and a car. So, access was fine for us.

Came here for the launch party of Usher’s collaboration with Yoobi. The space is awesome & it has a great view of Hollywood & the Hollywood sign. Only negative is parking, very difficult to find street parking. Overall, great location to have private parties.

Incredibly rude service and not cooperative. Called in about potentially renting out venue, however they took our proposal very lightly and highly unprofessional. Defiantly not renting out this space.

I came here for a commercial espresso machine exhibition. The space was clean and well maintained from what I could see. Parking sucked, it was in a lot on the next block over. Meh

Visited the space yesterday with my friend. We were going to the Georgia Boot preview x La Canvas party. The space was great. There was construction going on between the two Siren buildings and near the sketchy construction entrance one nicely dressed door man told us the directions to the fourth floor of the building. You could have missed the entrance driving since there was one 8×11 sign that was taped to the fence. The event was interesting… sort of empty but there was a band playing and a free drinks table.
I like the artwork a lot.
It would be great to use the space for more activities since the parking wasn’t that bad and it’s near Roscoes.

Malibu Music Invasion: Wynter Gordon & DJ Reach had their event here. Neat!!! Inside concert was small but it made the music sound pretty good.
Nice space to create something out of nothing. Parking on street, hard to find.

The rooftop terrace is by far the selling point. To have a private terrace overlooking Hollywood while being served cocktails is going to be hard to beat. The white sound stages are cool but the terrace is the best. A great spot to have a private party. I was only a guest so I can’t speak about the management. Restrooms were stylish and clean.

Friend held a gorgeous wedding reception here. Out door patio looks upon Hollywood sign and capitol records. She also had a fantastic DJ!

We had our wedding ceremony and after party here and can’t say enough good things about this space and the Siren crew.
The event manager Carolyn Jackson, was absolutely amazing, and I know our day wouldn’t have come through the way it did without her.
I would highly recommend this space for any event!

I love this space for events, and it gets 5 stars because of the amazing staff and the wealth of information they provide to help get your event off the ground! Carolyn Jackson, their onsite event coordinator, deserves her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! She came through for us with vendors for everything from valet to port-​a-​potties.
We hosted a charity wine tasting here in June of 2011 and I am finally finished with post charity event rehab and ready to Unilocal.This was only our second year doing this event and it was an ambitious one! We went from 90 people at a full service restaurant in 2010 to over 400 people and a blank canvas in 2011. Carolyn really helped us pull together a vision of what the event could be and executed! Also, I really want to draw attention to the fact that a lot of event spaces will take their sweet time getting back to you when you utter the word «Charity», if they get back to you at all. Siren was responsive and professional from start to finish, top to bottom.
We used Studio 1 and 2 which are sound stages, but they have amazing, more intimate spaces in Tower 2, including fabulous views of the former Capitol Records building and Hollywood.
I read the other reviews and must remind the reader that the event host is responsible for everything from security to enough bathrooms. Don’t blame Siren Studios, they provide the space. It is up to the host of the event to make it comfortable and a succes. For the record, I am not related to Carolyn Jackson or anyone at Siren Studios for that matter ;o)
So, check it out!

Came here for an Art Opening, on a Saturday night. GREAT space for an art show. The rooftop view/​ambiance was super fun! Who knows when I’ll ever be back here, but it was nice while it lasted…

Just got in from this place. Small & not enough security.
