Here are my spring offerings. In addition, I am thrilled to have Brooke Totman join me in my studio! She will be teaching my weekend On Camera I class. She will also be teaching her own comedy classes at my studio. Brooke is a great comedic actor and teacher, and she will be an excellent compliment to what I offer. I am very proud to be collaborating with her. I am posting Brooke’s bio below, though most of you already know her from her successful Amazon series “The Benefits of Gusbandry”.
On Camera Acting I - 7 classes / 8 weeks (NOTE: April 10th is OFF)
Limited to 12 Actors
Dates: February 27th - April 17th
Time: Tuesdays 6:30pm - 9:30pm
The total cost is $345.
Beginning with improv and easing into scripted scene work, this is a relaxed,
fun approach to getting comfortable in front of the camera.
The objective of the class is to establish the foundations of a process that emphasizes
simply listening and talking - being "in your skin" - as opposed to in your head.
This is a great transitional class for theatre actors and an excellent foundational class for new actors.
All work is filmed, reviewed and discussed - time permitting.
A 100 dollar deposit holds a spot. Refunded only up to 48 hours before the first class.
The balance ($245) is due by the second class, after which there is no refund.
Mailing address for check payments, below. Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo via: 323-819-9622.
Square payments (3% surcharge) are also accepted.

**On Camera Acting II - 6 weeks
Limited to 10 actors
Dates: March 1 - April 5th
Time: Thursdays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The total cost is $245
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 ($145) is due by the second class.
Mailing address for check payments, below. Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo via: 323-819-9622.
Square payments (3% surcharge) are also accepted.
