This is the first section of a twelve-week program designed to get kids and their parents introduced to acting as a career.
This course is HEAVILY geared toward: MASTERING AN AUDITION!
You cannot become an actor unless you have the ability to book a role. While there is a lot of material covered in this class, it is all centered around nailing the audition.
Over the course of the three month program, kids will go from having little or no experience in front of the camera to learning the skills needed to audition for film and television roles and hopefully landing an agent!
Every week actors are taped in an audition style format (exactly how they would tape for professional auditions) and tapes are sent to parents at the end of each class.
Session 1 Overview
