FILM & TV AUDITION & ACTING CLASS 10/5-11/30
by Jean Zarzour via NEohioPAL 17 Sep '16

17 Sep '16

TV & Film Audition & Acting Class 10/5-11/30 6-9pm No more than 8 students will be enrolled 2300 McKinley Ave. Lakewood, Ohio <http://www.jeanzarzour.com>www.jeanzarzour.com <http://www.jeanzarzour.com/find-your-voice.html> *RECENT TESTIMONIALS**"I am so grateful to Jean Zarzour for sharing her talent and expertise with me. Though I have very little acting experience, I was excited to audition for a TV commercial. She video taped and coached me for less than 2 hours. To make a long story short - I got the part! The producers of the project were shocked when I shared that this was my first commercial. They thought I was a seasoned actor. All credit goes to Jean Zarzour for making an amateur look like and "ole pro." Ingrid Powell Dawkins, Actress in Wayside Furniture **TV commercial* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *"Jean Zarzour is a FANTASTIC acting coach. My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Jean as our fraternal twin daughters actively audition for roles in movies and commercials both locally and in California. Jean coaches and puts their auditions on tape and sends the files to their agent/manager. Jean has the ability to take a "boring" audition and turn it into a piece of amazing work...something you'd expect to see from a seasoned actor. **She can pull the actor/actress out of the student and also teach the student how to bring the character out of the script. I'd highly recommend Jean to any actor or actress who's looking to take their skills and auditions to another level. We're so grateful for all we've learned!"* * Tami Elwell, mother of 2 talented, pre-teen girls * --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *"Ms. Zarzour is an amazing coach! I've had the pleasure of working with Jean a couple of times and one such time stands out. I was auditioning with another talent that I have never worked with before. Jean made the two of us so comfortable that it looked like we have done numerous jobs together. Needless to say, we nailed the auction and booked the job. It was for a local commercial that eventually went national. I thank Jean for knowing exactly what to do to make me as comfortable as possible during the taping. She is so fun to work with and I can not wait to work with her again." * *Greg Anzevino, Actor in Wayside Furniture TV commercial* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *"Every actor remembers that moment of inspiration when they caught the Acting Bug. For me it was the first time I met Jean Zarzour. She not only gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams, she got me my first Hollywood Agent. I truly believe it is because of her confidence in me that I have been a full time, working actor in Hollywood for more than a twenty years. Jean is much more than an acting coach, she is a career builder." Jonathan T. Floyd IMDB Page <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0283273/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1>* *CASTING DIRECTORS DO THE HEAVY LIFTING IN THIS BUSINESS. IT IS OUR FIRST TASK TO IMPRESS THEM! IF THEY DON'T LIKE YOUR AUDITION, THEY WON'T SEND IT TO THE DIRECTOR! *That's just the way it is. *Here is what I hear from Casting Directors* - "Theater actors are just TOO BIG in their delivery!" Those theater chops are overkill in Film & TV. Now, you all KNOW this, but TRUSTING it at an audition is another matter. I work on that very skill at every audition I go to! I've been asked to "Pull it back" or "Keep it real" a thousand times! Now, I LOVE doing just that because it pays off!* Visit www.jeanzarzour.com <http://www.jeanzarzour.com> to see what I mean.* Without consistent practice at this essential skill -* INTIMATE DELIVERY* - you don't stand a chance at getting the part but you DO stand a good chance of being written off for other roles too. * REMEMBER: CASTING DIRECTORS DO THE HEAVY LIFTING IN THIS BUSINESS. IT IS OUR FIRST TASK TO IMPRESS THEM! If they don't like your audition, they won't send it to the Director!* *We are now competing with HUNDREDS of other actors, nationwide, for the roles that are available to us. MAKE YOUR AUDITIONS COUNT for each current and future opportunity!* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- *WHAT: Scene study, monologues, script interpretation, character development, audition techniques, the Do's & Dont's and a FOUR HOUR Marketing Seminar to learn how to market yourself in this very competitive industry.

Joseph, an unseen angel, calls on The Boss for advice, and they decide on Clarence Oddbody, an Angel Second Class who, after 200 years, has yet to earn his wings. Joseph takes Clarence into the past to see George as a boy, rescuing his brother from drowning, enduring a beating from grieving druggist Gower, saving a child from accidental poisoning, then growing up to forgo college so he can save the family business and keep the citizens of Bedford Falls from being ruined by the Depression and the machinations of the conniving Henry Potter. George marries his childhood sweetheart, has a family, and resigns himself to a life of "failure." When his Uncle Billy misplaces $8,000 of the Building and Loan's money, George takes responsibility and runs to the bridge to commit suicide. Clarence stops him, and when George wishes he had never been born, makes the wish come true. Now George wanders through a Bedford Falls that has been rechristened Pottersville and has fallen far without him to save it. He realizes how many lives he has touched, how many people he has helped—and that he has been a success, after all. Clarence brings him back to "his" Bedford Falls and even manages to make Henry Potter pay for his sins. If you have any questions or cannot attend auditions, but would still like to set up a time to audition, please feel free to contact the director at cmb164(a)zips.uakron.edu for more information.
