Two actors.
Same casting.
One role.
The other actor books it…again.

One factor is
that actors don’t use the monitor to their advantage and they end up having a
flat audition.
Few actors
understand how valuable the monitor can be when they’re going for a real,
engaged audition
experience. Why?
Because most on-camera technique classes just don’t focus on it.
I have trained
and taught with some amazing film directors, directors of photography and
casting directors
who focused on
what actors need to know about working on camera. By understanding how your
audition
reads
technically, you are able to transform a one-dimensional “satisfactory” audition into
a three-dimensional
“unforgettable” audition.
This is not an
acting class in the sense of learning new theory or methods. It’s about taking
your existing acting
and cold reading
technique and effectively adjusting it to your advantage in an on-camera
medium. Class will
be spent working
scripts on camera. Each week you will leave with a videotape of your work.
You will take
away new skills to implement right away, the very next time you are on camera.
Some of the
things focused
on are how to:
· Strengthen your presence on camera - by learning how to use your
whole body, even in a close up
· Create an environment larger than the monitor - by incorporating
the world off camera into your work
· Reveal yourself more fully - by using your eye-line to establish
relationships
· Add dimension to you work - by using all 4 corners of the
monitor
There
will be an immediate difference in your work. See it for yourself!
