At the end of this course the students will present this performance for an invited audience (with costumes, props, minor set pieces, and stage lighting). This acting class promises to be fun, exciting and memorable.

Very different than acting on stage, acting for the camera is more intimate and the camera picks up so much more detail than can often translate on stage. This class will explore scene and monologue work for TV and film performance and auditions. Learn how to best present yourself on-camera and explore auditions, commercials, scenes for TV and film using actual, network and professional scripts. You’ll also pick up useful tips on how to book professional work and industry tricks of the trade! Students will have a chance to review their work on screen. Video clips of their work will be made available to parents and students after the end of the session.
