The Friday class is much more than a traditional acting class. We do work on scenes. We do work on monologues. We do sensory work. We do exercises. But we also help you try to obtain your personal career goals.

We ask that you work not just on scenes but on your life as an actor.

We have had great success with our actors who have

GOTTEN REPRESENTATION with top level agents

We all know that actors who work consistently are the ones who train consistently...and train with different teachers so that they learn different approaches and techniques.

.

Do you want to learn new techniques?  How to memorize lines easily? How to find the strongest choice? How to feel comfortable with actors who steal focus or are unprepared. How to get your point across? How to work “on demand”. Several times a month, we work with you on camera and let you see your progress.  You will learn  current and reliable techniques that will help you make a stronger impression on casting directors and directors and, as a result, book more often.

WE KEEP THE CLASS SMALL SO YOU GET PLENTY OF PERSONAL ATTENTION
