This acting on-camera master class provides students with a thorough foundation of performance skills aimed specifically at training the actor for the technical requirements of TV and film. No matter how beautiful the cinematography or impressive the special effects, audiences are drawn in by the struggles of the characters on screen. On set, dozens of crew members whirl about, twelve-kilowatt lights bore into the eyes, focus tape is pulled to the actor's cheek, and yet, the actor is still expected to give a believable and moving performance. This workshop enables actors to experience on-camera practice and intensive coaching. Scenes from TV shows, films and plays are performed as cold readings and then worked on until they are perfected. The 4-hour workshop is limited to 12 actors so that each works on camera at least twice during the session. Final recordings of the class work are included with this workshop.
