Acting For The Camera
We will be working “on camera” with scripts (hand picked for each and every student) with modified TV, Movie and Commercial scripts for emergent readers. The goal of the class is to improve on-camera comfort, confidence, and skill while students hone their acting skills in a supportive, exciting, and enriching environment. Every class utilizes real video playback so students can get true on-camera experience! This class is designed to be taken multiple times. Because all scripts are hand picked and classes are deliberately small, you will always get personal attention, and will always be in a class that is a "good fit" for you!
