Class Experience Each week you will work on Famous scenes from movies, where you will get the opportunity to bring the characters to life, your version, with YOU as the STAR! You will learn to quickly develop characters and make strong choices by choosing obstacles your character could face and then you will work on assigning different possible *tactics* the character will do to overcome their obstacles. In most classes you will be assigned groups and be placed into zooms awesome “breakout rooms” where I will be giving direction in the rooms. While In these rooms, you will Have the opportunity to work together on creating a truthful and engaging scene and then perform your scene before the class in front of a mock audition panel complete with camera, clapperboard and loads of fun! Each week you will learn more techniques so that by week 12 you are ready to perform your chosen piece. Weeks 1-4: we will chose the scenes to work on and will then completely immerse ourselves in the development of the characters, starting with a table read(so you get the feel for the characters, relationships and what’s really going on), we will work with character development slides to help make this experience fun and easy. Of course we will also be performing in the first four weeks and throughout. Weeks 5-8: we perform our pieces and work on putting alternate choices in to see how that changes the character, the look, the relationships, etc. Weekks 9-12: perform and perform some more. This 4 week period is where it all magically comes together. We will perform with cameras rolling, clapperboard and students will be sent their final pieces which can be used as part of their future reel!!!! Your final performance is week 12. Students will be given immediate constructive feedback and direction. This class is super fun. You don’t need any experience to start and you don’t have to want to be an actor to join my classes! Great class to help you get audition pieces ready or just have fun and enjoy the ride. Skills learned in acting are transferable into all areas of your life.\;

It is highly recommended that you have a printer for this program to print out the short scenes and or monologues. However it is not necessary, as it is good practice to have the students write out their line so it helps them memorize.
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been in the acting industry since a very young child, acting in theatre.
From there, I went on to study theatre and film acting.
I have taught over 2000 actors and have helped them to successfully prepare for their careers in acting. On average, 70-80% of my students have gone on to book work in film, tv and commercials.
My classes are interactive as I feel hands on learning in acting IS the only way. Students will learn through my various programs how to analyze and score scripts, build characters, relationship development, improv, auditioning techniques and method acting techniques.
We will work on both scenes and monologues.(depending on the course)
Now is the time to pursue acting as there are thousands of new shows being written which need mew faces. Are you ready?
Students may chose pieces to work on that can be used as audition pieces
