On-Camera Scene Study Workshop
May 19th, and May 25th

The truth is, acting for the camera is different for each actor. Some take to it easily, while others take more time to settle comfortably into it. It is the job of an acting coach to recognize an actor’s strengths and weaknesses, where the actor is in their development process, and work with the actor to heighten their strengths and strengthen their weaknesses. No one size fits all. In these workshops will be treated as an individual, with the whole idea being you will be a better on-camera actor when you leave the workshop than you were before.

These workshops are open to all actors, 17 or older, with experience in film, or TV, or theater work (no beginners, Please). To enroll, please contact [email protected] and specify the age range you play, as well as which workshop (see below) you would like. Enrollment is limited to 12 actors in each workshop on a first come, first serve basis.

In The Workshop You Will:
* Be assigned (prior to the workshop) a scene with a scene partner
* Perform that scene in front of the entire workshop, be critiqued, and do it again
* engage in inprov scenes and learn how that can improve your acting
* Discuss handouts about audition do’s and dont’s, being in the moment, and acting in Hollywood
* Be made aware of how you can improve as an on-camera actor
* Learn by observing other actors performing and reworking their scenes
* Have your work video recorded for you to take with you when you leave
