CLASS DETAILS:

This class is for young actors and will focus on comedy turns and taking direction during callbacks.

  • Actors will be assigned a scene and/or a scene partner

    • Because actors are paired for scene work cancelation is only accepted 72 hours prior to the session start time

  • Everyone will perform their prepared scene, receive re-direction, notes and learn tips for Zoom auditions, callbacks, chemistry reads and more

  • THIS CLASS ALLOWS YOU TO PUT INTO PRACTICE AND LEARN:

    • How to deliver awesome audition scenes, regardless if the audition is live in a room full of people or a self taped audition.

    • Feeling comfortable learning how to establish strong connections during audition scenes

    • Why the most powerful tool an actor has is his/her eyes

    • Focus on the objective in scene performance, (making sure actors understand how to evoke strong emotions to create a solid connection. )

    • The moment before the scene begins- (by discussing the emotional state before the scene starts. The actors full focus should be on MAKING THE OTHER PERSON FEEL SOMETHING. This helps the actor achieve the objective. Actors are far more interesting, when they make it about the other person and NOT about themselves. )

    • Removing any “indicating” in scenes.

      • ‘Indicating’ is the actor trying to show the audience they are feeling something instead of actually feeling it. 100% of the time when an actor is indicating they are not present in the moment with their objective, nor are they making it about the other person! I can’t stress enough how important this next statement is. The most important person in the scene, is the other person. This includes things like:

        • Eye Rolling

        • Sighs

        • Miming

        • Etc.

  • Most importantly- while learning, you will:

    • laugh- a lot!

    • Build a creative bond with the other actors and support them!

    • lastly, have a great time while working on and bettering your auditioning skills
