COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this abbreviated version of our yearlong Acting for the Camera program, students will spend ten weeks sharpening techniques for acting on camera for film and television comedies, dramas and sci-fi/fantasies, as well as self-tape audition techniques.

This workshop is open to new students, as well as alumni from the yearlong Acting for the Camera program who would like the chance to repeat instruction with a particular instructor.

Please note that focus is on the actor’s craft, not the product—which means recordings are not intended to be used for student reels.

Weeks 2, 3 and 4 (Drama)

Weeks 5, 6 and 7 (Comedy)

PLEASE NOTE

Our short, ten-week, standalone workshops do not apply toward a yearlong certificate.

Special guests participate in our classes for feedback and informational purposes only. They may be working actors, directors or producers, but they are not here to offer students industry opportunities—only insights and career strategies based on their own industry experiences.
