This is an ongoing on-camera class, focusing on professional camera technique, audition preparation, warm ups, cold reads and single on-camera audition scenes using current film and television texts. We will focus on making ‘choices’, turning text into ‘audition friendly’ sides, being camera aware as well as the things you can do to advance your craft outside of class.
