Advanced On Camera Techniques
THE CLASS
It will b an LA style, on-camera, scene study acting class. You will put up work and be on stage in every class.
I will also show you exercises and improve techniques that are used by top directors to get academy award level performances.
I will teach you how to work the camera like a movie star. As a DP as well as director I have MANY tricks that nobody else really teaches.
This is NOT a beginning class or an audition class. BUT there will be weekly opportunities for you to bring in sides you have for your own upcoming auditions and receive my personal direction and coaching on your real world audition material.
You will be working with me intensively every week. I will also be using the class as a casting incubator for upcoming directing projects including the feature film “Chills,” that I am directing here in town. There is no better way for me to get to know the local talent than to workshop scenes in a classroom environment.
