Class Experience

In this unique class your learner will be reading a variety of scripts to explore the assets needed to become a great actor. I will be listening with a professionally trained ear to the individual voices to help guide them into being a better actor. We will practice reading lines to get them into the realm of realism, and with power. Each class will build on the individual skill levels of the learners. I will take them on a wonderful journey into the imagination and get real time feedback on what is working and what needs some adjustments. 

March 12th: Voice Characterization 
March 19th: Getting into Character
March 26th: Diversification in Roles
April 2nd:     Making your Character Real

Learning Goals

This class is a very interactive experience. Each actor will come out with a better understanding of the principles of acting. We will cover how to get into character and the best techniques to use to stay in character. Voice over work and improv will also be covered. Each learner should have a microphone, camera and stable internet connection.  Reading level should be at least 7th grade or preferably higher.

I learned a great deal on delivering a professional performance and also how to watch and give constructive direction to others.  I embrace an enthusiastic approach to learning and enjoy teaching the self discovery of your imagination.  I am a amateur magician and have been performing slight of hand for my entire life. I can also make three balloon animals.
