You may be the best actor in the room. But if you don’t nail the audition, you won’t book the job, and no one will ever know what you’re capable of. Auditioning isn’t just luck.

In this 6-week intensive, you’ll learn the single most important thing you can do to convince a casting director to hire you. You’ll discover how to create a living, breathing, believable person that persuades casting directors that you are the character–and the right actor for the job.

In this class you will practice

+Breaking down “sides” to create a believable character

+How to master callbacks and seal the deal

+Taking risks and making strong choices

+Taking redirection and making it work for your performance

This class is limited to 10 students. Some previous training is required.

Introduction to Acting for the Camera

This class is limited to 12 students. Early registration is recommended.

Lose those nerves, gain confidence and learn to audition like a pro! You will learn how to make the first contact with the agents. By taking this class you have the opportunity to show the agents that you are serious about pursuing this type of work. If you already have an agent but want to increase your "Bookability" this workshop will give you the edge over your competitors (ask your agent, we're confident they will agree!). This workshop will give you experience with the actual audition process. You'll work on-camera all day doing both prepared and cold readings, and receive plenty of feedback from instructor Richard Mason.

Script analysis skills: We have written our own textbook that breaks this process down and makes it simple. Comfort in front of the camera: How do you stand? How do you hold the script? How do you deal with your partner and the camera at the same time? What is a slate? What do you do with your hands?

Practice at doing all types of commercials: Scene work, improv, one-liners, bite and smiles, handling products, etc. You'll also learn how to market to the casting directors, all about pictures and resumes, how the unions work, etc.

An intensive eight-week workshop to prepare the actor for working on a film or television set and to produce a clip for their demo reel. Students will concentrate on the development of acting skills through working on a film based on 12 ANGRY MEN, a 1957 film directed by Sidney Lumet. Our modern adaptation of this film will allow each student to be cast in a substantial role.

This class will guide the student, step by step, from the audition process, through preparation and rehearsal to actually filming on a set. In addition, students will also learn industry etiquette and terminology. We will be shooting with two cameras and a film crew to produce a product worthy for the actors' demo reels.

Students, friends and family members are invited to attend the WRAP PARTY and SCREENING of the film at the GATEWAY FILM CENTER. Students will receive a DVD of the film and a individual clip for their demo reels.

The film will also be screened for regional Casting Directors, Agents and Filmmakers.
