ACTING FOR CAMERA
|
My acting for camera course can help you overcome these challenges by learning the basics of acting for camera. I am an Emmy Award winning director and member of the Directors Guild of America, working in the New York City area. In this class, we will be working on various acting techniques to enable you to become a lot more comfortable when you walk on set.
Note: Two prepared monologues are required for the first class. For the first class please have two short, contemporary monologues, approximately :30 and :60 seconds, transcribed from current television series, appropriate for your type, that you are ready to record on camera.
