Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this general acting class:

Everyone works in every class, starting from the first session where actors cold read a monologue. Students are taught how to analyze a scene, make strong and interesting choices, take direction, and audition effectively. The six-week course culminates in an audition workshop before an industry casting director.

This class is a perfect refresher course for actors getting back into the business or new actors just starting out who want to take their craft to the next level.

In addition to gaining more confidence on stage you will get advice on:

  • Where to find a scene / monologue that is right for you.
  • How to breakdown beats and analyze a scene.
  • How to make the strongest choice you can for the audition materials you are given.
  • The class will also deliver practical knowledge about having a competitive resume and a great headshot.
  • On the final day of each six week session an industry professional will have a Q&A session and provide feedback for the monologues and scenes you have been working on in class.

Refund Policy
