It is a more intimate style of acting as opposed to stage acting, which is performed on a broader scale for a live audience, or voice acting, where your interpretation has to provide the entire "theater of the mind" setting for the listener. On-Camera acting, film acting in particular, is "realistic" and can sometimes feel as though you aren't doing *anything*, but that is far from the case. What happens behind and in your eyes can make the difference between a great or forgettable performance. *In this 7 Thursdays + 1 Saturday class, you'll learn the following:* 1. All of the industry lingo, best practices and how to prepare for an audition before you ever leave your house 2. What your "type" is and how to market that type 3. What should go on your resume when you have little to no experience 4. What are appropriate head shots for your age and type 5. How to Slate (state your name, age, height for an audition) on camera 6. How to audition for commercial, film or TV project with real scripts provided by the instructor which includes: a. Scene study b. Monologue delivery c. Commercials d. Cold Reads (when you don't have the time to "warm up" or make early choices before an audition) 7. How to bring a unique but "castable" delivery to the audition, making it your own 8. What to wear, say, and how to behave at a 1st round audition or CALL BACK 9. How to get representation from a Talent Agency or compete without one 10. All about Union Membership and other *Business Of The Business* details to grow your career On-Camera Acting Instruction is taught with real scripts from Commercials, TV & Film projects you've seen. * 6 student limitThe cost is $500 for 8, 2.5 hour classes on Thursday's, 6-8:30pm and one 3 hour Marketing Seminar *on Saturday, April 21, 1-4pm.

Only two weekends left to catch Neil Simon's 1963 classic romantic comedy, '*Barefoot in the Park*' at The Cassidy Theatre!* February 9th, 10th, 11th* and * February 16th, 17th, 18th.* *Synopsis:* Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He’s a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she’s a free spirit always looking for the latest kick. Their new apartment is her most recent find – too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie’s loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco, where everything that can go wrong, does. Paul just doesn’t understand Corie, as she sees it. He’s too staid, too boring, and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous. Running “barefoot in the park” would be a start… *Get Tickets By Phone, Online, or at the Window!* Phone: 440-842-7018 In Person: 6200 Pearl Rd., Parma Heights OH - 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Mon. Tue.

Beck Center in Lakewood is thrilled to announce open call auditions for our Summer 2018 production of..... * GYPSY* * Book by Arthur Laurents* * Music by Jule Stein* * Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim* Considered by many to be THE gold standard of American Musical Theatre, *GYPSY* spins the tale of a time where the death of Vaudeville was imminent, and its much more lascivious cousin Burlesque was poised to take the reins. Mama Rose is determined to vicariously live the star-branded life she never had through daughters June and Louise as they go from town to town searching for their big breaks. Once it finally happens for Louise (having adopted the stripper persona of Gypsy Rose Lee) Rose's life begins to crumble as she comes to terms with the answer to 'Who was it all for?' Director Scott Spence, Musical Director Larry Goodpaster and Choreographer Martin Cespedes are seeking a diverse company of actors, singers and dancers to give light to this masterpiece of Musical Theatre. *Open Call Auditions will occur at the following times, and appointments can be made by calling the Beck Center Box Office at 216-521-2540 x10 <(216)%20521-2540> during normal business hours.* * Sunday February 18th {6PM to 9PM}* * AND* * Monday February 19th {6PM to 9PM}* *GYPSY* is one of those rare musicals that feature BOTH singing and non-singing roles.
