If you have a **moderate** amount of prior training or experience (several classes or projects), you may be eligible to purchase one class credit and join our Essentials of Acting On-Camera ongoing technique classes. You may need to provide a demo reel or recent self-tape to gain placement into this class directly. It's perfectly normal and advisable to start in the beginner workshop if you are revisiting acting after an extended period of time off, or if you're unsure of where you'd fit in the training. You'll be appropriately challenged if your prior experience requires it!

More info:

Acting for Beginners is a workshop that introduces the basic concepts of performing. This course offers both an overview of how the Film & TV industry works, as well as paired & individual on-camera instruction using short scenes. It is a progressive training workshop, meaning it is designed to be repeated until you are ready for Essentials 1 | Acting On-Camera (at the discretion of our coaches).

We cover fundamental, beginner acting concepts, as well as our own unique and practical approach to memorizing and understanding scenes. Then we dive into how you overlap with character, getting out of your comfort zone, and starting to perform!

This workshop is 2-3 hours long in an online live-video format on Zoom, with adult actors (18-70+). Actors may be invited to continue training in these sessions at the coach's discretion, as availability is limited.
