Careers are made with close-ups. This class is fashioned after our successful adult class to help young actors learn the skills necessary to create the nuanced performance expected when the camera is up close and personal. PLUS, it will give actors footage that might be used to create clips and reels. Agents need clips of your on-camera work that showcase your acting ability. Typically clips are posted to Casting Network, Actors Access, Casting Frontier, and other sites such as Actors in Wisconsin, etc., to showcase your skill set to those casting for television, film, commercial, industrial, corporate, theater, etc. 2-person scenes will be shot in close-up, with each actor having a dedicated camera recording footage as they share dialogue and actively listen to their partner. Actors will receive professional coaching that meets them according to their need, whether they are a seasoned actor or someone just starting out. Classmates can see what is working and not working, while watching actors perform both in-person and on their dedicated monitors. After each class, actors can provide a thumb drive to receive a video file of their best scene.Be exceptional - Actor’s Craft is a CLTS Approved Provider
