I believe in creating a highly interactive lesson to build self-confidence in students. All my classes will involve ice-breakers, improv games, or physical warm-ups to release inhibitions creating a safe and fun environment. I want them to know this is a space where there are no judgments and they are free to enjoy their creativity and imagination as much as possible. The first class will be an introduction to acting. I will introduce the skill of cold reading by showing them a short scene or commercial for them to perform during this class. I also give them a quick introduction to the Meisner Technique a fun acting repetition technique to apply. Students will be given Scenes for them to choose and memorize/familiarize for the next class. The second class will be focused on Character and Script Analysis using the scenes given. Students will learn how to make instinctive choices for the Scene and Character. Students will be paired up during the class to perform scenes together or with me. Afterward, students will choose a monologue to memorize for the next class along with another scene to analyze and memorize. In the Final class, students will break down stages of the monologue they memorized. I will give them the chance to use their choices and interpretations when they perform their monologues. We will then go through their chosen monologues and fine-tune the choices students have made.
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence, be able to analyze scripts and characters. They will also learn how to make creative choices to make their characters believable and alive. Finally, they will understand the process of auditioning during a Mock Audition.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am offering this class to help students gain confidence not only in acting but in life. I feel that my acting skills have given me the confidence needed in performing well during interviews, relating easily to other people, and being more understanding of others by studying behavior. I also have more than 15 years of film and television experience as shown on my IMDB page https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1120742/ and would love to share my personal techniques and knowledge for students who would like to pursue this career or anyone who would just like to experience an acting class out of curiosity.Reviews
