Monday nights @ 6:30 p.m.
Saturdays @11am

This class is a mixture of Scene Study and On-Camera Audition technique. Actors are worked with specifically according to their needs and their career progression. This class does not stick to a format, but rather touches on elements of prepared scene work as well as the art of auditioning. Actors are given the opportunity to perform material from both Film/T.V and Stage, with the emphasis on tailoring the work for the camera. Aaron encourages actors to empower themselves and “own” spirited choices in their work. Improv warm ups are also done every class, making the class a workout for serious actors only.

A graduate of the University of British Columbia, Aaron has worked on both sides of the border, with Film/TV credits including Fairly Legal, Fringe, iCarly, Stargate Atlantis, Life Unexpected, Kyle XY, The L Word, The Unit, Smallville, Tru Calling, The Dead Zone, Supernatural and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Stage credits include Gaslight at the Hudson Theatre (Los Angeles) as well as the Vancouver premieres of Neil Labute's Fat Pig and Michael Weller's Fifty Words. He has also directed critically acclaimed productions of Glengarry GlenRoss and Closer.

"Coachings with Aaron are always a great workout that empower me to carry a lot of confidence into the audition room.  He helps to define and refine strong choices that are right for the character, the piece as a whole and me as an individual...I highly recommend the experience."  - Allison Hossack ( Series Regular on "Hope Island", 'Falcon Beach, "Kingdom Hospital" )

"Is it a coincidence that since starting studying with Aaron, I’ve booked three TV roles in the past two months, and my first recurring one?  I think not.  Apart from the value of ‘working out’, Aaron’s classes provide an avenue in which to explore possibilities.  His check-in time is very valuable, followed by a variety of improvisational warm-ups to get you in the moment. Aaron is a master at pin pointing what each individual in the class needs to work on without getting too personal.  I highly recommend Aaron as a teacher and mentor to anyone wishing to develop their acting craft."  - Valerie McNicol ("Supernatural", Recurring role - "The Killing")

"Aaron understands the process an actor needs in rehearsals and bringing out a full performance from a piece of text.  He knows how to work out the mental moves.  Time well spent."  -Veena Sood ("Battlestar Galactica", "Touch of Pink", "The Big Year" )

"It was amazing to experience the process you take them through in order to achieve the results that make for the best possible audition on the first take. The feedback I've gotten has all been positive and a number of clients look forward to working with you again in the future”. (Les Blackmore – Talent Agent)
