Daytime Class Delay: NEW YEAR DISCOUNT!

My Daytime class has a new start day of next Wednesday the 10th.
----------------------------------------------------------
If your desire is to try something new this year, think about On Camera One with me. I do guarantee a fun learning process! For a limited time in the New Year, I am offering a discount on my Introduction classes. I am giving 20% off for the Daytime class, and 10% off for the Thursday evening class. Just mention this to me when emailing me to sign up. 

Non-actors should know that this is a excellent class for them. Though serious actors can benefit from foundational on camera principals, much of the acting fundamentals taught in my classes deal with practical things like being a good listener and communicating authentically. If you have a friend or loved one who is wanting to try something new, this class is a great gift. And, if you have been wanting to stretch yourself / get out of your comfort zone, this class is perfect for you. In the context of a safe and supportive atmosphere, you will be overcoming performance anxiety and learning to express yourself with authenticity.

Note that the Wednesday daytime class starts up the second week of January.

Happy New Year!

**On Camera Acting II - 7 weeks 
Dates: January 9th - February 20th
Time: Tuesdays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The total cost is $295

The class is especially tailored to actors who have already been through the OC I class.
Though this is not a requirement, actors need to have the fundamental abilities that OC I covers.
If I don’t know an actors work, I will need to see something on tape or in person.

Moving beyond "being in your skin" and finding simplicity on camera, here the focus is on 
rehearsal process, the "headspace" of the character,  script analysis, and auditioning. 
Actors are expected to up the ante, as we get into the hard work of acting. 
Know that this class will require more outside time than OC I. 
All work is filmed and (time permitting) viewed and discussed.

A 100 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance ($195) is due by the second class.
Mailing address for check payments, below. Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo via: 323-819-9622.

FULL**On Camera Acting III - Character Work - 6 weeks 
Dates: January 15th - February 19th
Time: Mondays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The total cost is $210

This class is for either advanced actors or actors who have been through OC I and OC II.
It was designed to be a continuation of those two classes.
Moving beyond yourself in the given circumstances, the focus here is on stretching the actor’s sphere of comfort
both physically and emotionally. Whether it is with an accent, a physiology or a personality,
the goal is to be able to include characters that are not normally considered one’s “type.”
Character work is “owning” those differences - stepping into the shoes of someone unlike oneself.
Techniques in accomplishing this are discussed and practiced in class.
Each actor decides with me how much they want to stretch and with what kind of material.
All work is filmed and (time permitting) viewed and discussed.

A 100 dollar deposit holds a spot. The balance ($110) is due by the second class.
Mailing address for check payments, below. Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo via: 323-819-9622.
Paypal address: twrooney@pacbell.net (Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge).
