FILM 2: THE ART OF FILM ACTING FOR THE ADVANCED MEISNER ACTOR

Taught by Emmy-Nominated Filmmaker Pamela Peak

This class not only ties together everything you’ve learned as a Meisner Actor, and the basics of film acting you’ve learned in Film 1, but it prepares you, with ease and understanding, to play supporting and major roles in motion pictures.

This class is taught both in a classroom setting with the group and one-on-one with Pamela. In Film 2, there is more emphasis on one-on-one instruction, as you work on the role you have been assigned with Pamela.

This class is chock-full of some of the greatest secrets of the top screenwriters and directors. You will learn why they do what they do, and you will be prepared to produce in-depth, phenomenal work as an actor.

This class will change you and elevate your work as a film actor (and in live performances, too).

ON THIS COURSE YOU WILL:

  • Gain three highly professional scenes for your reel, shot on location.
  • The scenes you will be assigned will be chosen especially for you—the way a Hollywood casting agent sees you.
  • You will study and perform three significant scenes that fall along the “Emotional ARC” and journey of the character you are playing.
  • You will learn some of the great secrets of top screenwriters who instill profound clues for the actors that play their roles. (Without having your eyes opened to these incredible secrets stored within a screenplay, you might never see them . . . And you will not be able to instill full life into the characters you play.)
  • This class will teach you how to immerse yourself in a role – like top stars regularly do!
  • You will get used to doing highly emotional work on a professional set, know with greater understanding what a director is looking for in your performance, and understand the best ways to communicate with a director.
  • When you finish this class, you will feel completely prepared to audition for and take on a major role in a motion picture, and you will have significant work on your reel that demonstrates that you are ready.
