Let’s have some fun while learning to become amazing actors! In this class, we will focus on getting up close and personal with the camera to showcase our acting skills. We will work on 2-person scenes where each actor gets their own camera to capture their performance. Not only will this help us improve our acting abilities, but it will also give us some awesome footage to help us land auditions.
Our professional coach will work with us to make sure we are giving our best performances, whether we are experienced actors or just starting out. We will watch each other’s scenes on dedicated monitors and learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
We should bring a Thumb Drive so we can get a video file of our best scenes to keep and perhaps to promote our skills to agents or people casting for various acting roles. Let’s work together to be exceptional!
