In this on-camera acting class, student actors have the opportunity to work in specific artistic and set
environments that they will deal with professionally; for example: the speed of shooting a one-hour
episodic, the director who blocks immediately, the director who improvises, the director who blocks
off an actor’s impulses, doing a scene in two takes and doing a scene in thirty takes. The actor learns
how to maintain a performance and stay open to the specific needs of a production. Working on the acting craft, both artistically and technically, in front of the camera. Analyze assigned
scenes from feature films and one-hour episodic television. Practice working with master shots,
coverage and continuity. Learn how to deal with different on-set working situations and maintain the
quality of the work. Deal with the necessity of coming to the set fully prepared without any rehearsal.
Full preparation for all class work without rehearsal is required.

This course breaks down the audition process while simultaneously focusing on the
business by putting students in front of professionals currently working in the industry. The
course will break down the industry standards of the audition process through mock
auditions, self-tapes, callbacks and cold readings. Students partake in a series of seminars
with industry professionals, including casting directors, agents, managers, producers,
directors, photographers, actors’ union representatives, etc. Students will develop a
resume, gain an understanding of how actors’ unions work, meet with a photographer to
learn about headshots and learn the proper way to correspond with agents and casting. 
In addition to mock auditions where students perform a monologue for industry professionals,
students continue to build a resume, learn how to obtain a headshot, and are introduced to other self promotional and portfolio tools like website building, and audition portals such as Actors Access,
Backstage and Playbill.com.
