Class Description

"An advanced on-camera class for actors and improvisors transitioning to acting for the camera. Students will go on camera every week, learning to break down a script, overcome obstacles, and make it their own. Classes will also focus on stylistic differences working with audition scenes from sitcoms, dramas, and procedurals; auditioning for Daytime, Prime Time, small roles, guests stars, recurring and contract roles, and series regulars; the technical side of on-camera work; and how to take ownership of your career, with or without an agent or manager (aka - how to stop whining, making excuses, and waiting to be discovered).

Students will audition for agents and casting directors in an industry showcase. Prerequisite: Auditioning for TV & Commercials."
