Online Classes

We believe that constant practice breeds confidence and expertise, which result in greater success in the audition room, on stage, and on set. Therefore, our classes are offered on a constant, year-long schedule. Once an actor is enrolled they may renew their spot as long as they wish. Cycles are four weeks long and limited to 8 actors. All of our teachers have prescriptive methods to get to the heart of what each actor needs to tackle practical challenges in their work, and to discover new techniques to grow in their craft.

About the Class

This class, taught by actor Andrew Moodie, is film and television acting for performers at any stage in their career. We will focus on some straightforward techniques based on Strasberg, Adler and Meisner to get to a deep level of truth, under imaginary circumstances, in front of the camera. In the class we will:

 

  • Break down a script to find the journey of the character and understand the subtext of the scene.

  • Use memorization techniques to prepare appropriately for auditions.

  • Quickly create an intimate film performance with deep emotional reality under imaginary circumstances.

  • Follow direction when given suggestions and adjustments from a casting agent or film/TV director.

  • Prepare and perform an audition for a television commercial.

  • Use a Film Voice Vocal Volume and not a Theatre Voice Vocal Volume.

 

Using these techniques will free you from self consciousness and allow you to create honest moments in front of the camera.
