Students will learn the basic tools needed to act in front of the camera for tv, film, or commercial. They will learn memorization techniques, how to read & rehearse a script, and even a quick lesson on commercial acting. They will walk away with tools needed to dive deeper into acting in front of the camera, and possibly what it means to work in the industry itself. 

I am a "working actor" outside of class, and have lots of experience in commercials, auditioning for professional TV shows/films, and writing/producing my own scripts. I do have an "on-camera" agent and am always open to answering questions about the film industry. I first was a theatre actor before I did film, so I can work well with students who have that same background-- in teaching them how to transition from stage to on-camera acting. During COVID, I have "self-taped" auditions almost every week, and can teach students how to master that skill. While in Chicago, I've auditioned for movies, Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Fire, as well as various commercials. Please feel free to visit my website and commercial reel below.
