Taught by Emmy-Nominated Filmmaker Pamela Peak
Being a new actor on a film or TV set can be daunting. But you can look and act like a Pro and feel totally confident – both in your film acting and in what is expected of you, as a professional actor on a film or TV set.
Calm your nerves, raise your confidence and give them your very best when it comes to acting for film and television. The knowledge you’ll gain from this course will totally accomplish this.
Your credibility and knowledge is something directors and casting people do look for.
When we know all the ins-and-outs of our job as film actors, our confidence soars and it greatly opens our chances of obtaining roles!
For film and TV writers, this class will help you see through the eyes of the actors you are writing for!
This class will teach you:
- What is expected of you as a film and television actor from each of the people you’ll be working with (the director, the editor, the camera people and even the make-up artist)
- You’ll know precisely how to change your acting from stage acting to what is needed in film level acting. And you’ll know exactly what is needed from you in all types of shots in film and television acting.
- We will cover monologues and commercials for film and television.
- You’ll understand the structure of screenplays fully, and what to do as an actor when you are constantly called upon to shoot things out of sequence.
- You’ll understand the importance of where your eyes need to be focused while on camera. This can make or break actors and determine the professionalism of their work. This is far different than stage acting.
- A number of fun improvisational exercises will help you accomplish some of the vital skills on this list.
- This class will culminate in a short scene that you would definitely be cast for. It will be filmed professionally so you can add this scene to your actor’s reel, so directors and casting directors can see the strength of your work.
