Students will begin the first week with a prepared monologue. From there they will learn how to command the room's attention, and create an environment. Students will learn how to break a scene down to get to the heart of each scene. They will also learn how to create the emotional arc that is needed to bring a fully fleshed out character to life. Final scenes are taped each and emailed to each student so that they can see what progress has been made. This Class is limited to 10 students per 6 week session to allow for the time and attention required.

Whether or not you land that big role begins with your headshot. It's the first thing a casting director sees and they can make or break your chances of getting called in to an audition or photo shoot. Don't let a bad photo give the producers the idea that you are not serious about your craft. In this business first impressions are EVERYTHING and our team will give you the tools to market yourself and start getting those callbacks!
