Scene-Monologue Study |

Stanislavski - Method?? Don't worry
about what it's called, work on being believable, interesting,
and exciting to watch!" - C.A.
This class is necessary to evolve as an actor and
strengthen your performing skills. We help you select
and develop suitable monologues for presentation to
agents and theatrical auditions.
Also, actors will perform contemporary and classical
scenes with partners. All geared to raise your acting
ability above the norm. Charles knows how to get actors
over the top quickly, helping to find that key element,
turning average performances into paid performances.
Included in the many things taught in this class are,
line by line script analyses, arcs/beats,
internalization, characterization, believability,
blocking, creating your environment, and drawing your
audience in.

On-Camera
Class |

"It is vital for an actor to understand the difference
between stage and camera work especially in the audition
process!" - C.A.
In this class we tape our students, play them back on
television and critique their performance. It is
important for the actor to see how they present
themselves on screen.
Actors must also understand the major differences
between stage and film work, and the art of acting and
the audition process. Only after mastering on-camera and
scene-monologue work can actors appreciate how both
forms integrate. Students work alone, in pairs and in
groups doing scenes and mimicking real auditions
preparing them to land those jobs!
The many things studied in this class include cold
readings, commercial work, improvisation, auditioning
techniques, script analyses and slating. We also teach
the complete business application including headshots,
resumes, portfolios, agents, casting directors,
self-promotion, unions,
the audition process, principles, featured extras, and
extras.
