PRIVATE / SEMI PRIVATE 10 SESSION CLASSES

PRIVATE / SEMI PRIVATE 10 SESSION CLASSES.
  • I will tailor your class to best enhance your level of ability and knowledge. Otherwise for beginners, I work with TV commercials, Film scenes and improvisation.The ten classes are to give the student a good performance understanding of TV commercials, real world auditions, and film scenes / working on camera. These 10 week private classes are for 1 hour and the first 4 classes begin with TV commercials, how to audition for TV commercials and working with the camera.  The next round of classes then go into film and TV scenes, working with camera, how to do Film auditions, find and develop their character and playing to the camera. Also these classes use improvisational Sanford Meisner technique "Activities" exercises.  I teach students to realistically audition and work in the film and television and as such, I reflect the passion, demands and professional mindset and behavior of which that industry expects and demands. 
  • I’m available to work with you on your audition material.
  • Agent / manager recommendations are possible however I only recommend students to agents / managers when I feel they are ready and NOT before.
