This self-tape class will guide students through the technical aspects of self-taping, as well as performance technique, helping them use their imaginations to lift off the page and into creative scene work. Actors will analyze and break down audition sides to create dynamic choices and elevate their performance within the parameters of a self-tape. Memorization, tone, personalization, camera craft, a proper set up, and script analysis will all be explored in every scene. Revision of the self-tape will be fundamental to this class in order to understand how their imaginative exploration of the text translates on screen.
The course will combine very practical instruction and on-camera coaching. In each class, actors will work on and tape a new audition side. We will explore multiple genres and all role sizes from guest stars to series regulars in both TV and Film.
You may enroll in either Sunday class. The first is from 1 to 4 pm, and the second is from 5 to 9 pm. The class fee is $300, unless bundled with a scene study class. In that event each class will be reduced to $250.
