ESSENTIALS COURSE
No pre-requisites – beginners welcome. These acting classes stress acting for camera – film and television – all classes are on camera and you review your work at the end of each class on a TV monitor. You will work on Eye Line (where to look) how to project your voice, emotions, and physicality. I stress believability and vulnerability and have many tricks of the trade to share. I spend time working on close-ups. We do monologues, improvisations, commercials, and some scene work. All the work is geared to making you look most effective on screen.

Emphasis is placed on perfecting and polishing performances, creating a film persona and facing the challenge of more difficult roles. Pre-requisite: You must take the Essential’s Class or have Mark Stolzenberg’s permission to take the Advanced Acting Class.

We then make a mix of those two in order to form a unique third entity called, “a character.” For film these percentages usually change, especially since most actors for film and TV are cast for who they are, and casting is very close to your type. This is because the camera picks up your real self with all your subtleties. So, for film, a character is more like 75% you and 25% what is written.
