This past July I joined the Raymond Forchion acting workshop with the hope  
of learning more about the craft of acting. This it did, and in ways I never  
thought possible. The week following the workshop I joined a movie in 
production  and until that moment I hadn't seen a script. The role I'd been cast for 
had  several large chunks of dialog and I had no time to study before the shoot  
started. It didn't matter; using the skills I'd learned at Raymond's workshop 
I  was able to find my character and become him, and learn all the lines in 
mere  minutes. One take, every time... and this is from someone who can only 
memorize  lines with a lot of time and effort expended.

Raymond's techniques and  exercises offered me numerous ways to approach a 
character and feel completely  in the moment. More than that, it helped me as a 
director so that I'll be better  able to coach my actors so they can find what 
they need in a character, in a  scene and in a moment. I can't recommend 
Raymond's workshop highly enough--to  actors, of course, but also to directors and 
writers alike. Raymond has  something for all of us all. Sign up and enjoy!
