New On Camera I Class

I am exited to offer one more OC I class before the new year. My partner Brooke Totman will be teaching this.
Ted

**On Camera Acting I (with Brooke Totman)
7 weeks - Limited to 10 Actors
Dates: October 20th - December 3rd
Time: Saturdays 11am - 2pm
The total cost is $275.

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 ($175) is due by the second class, after which there is no refund.
Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo (free) via: 323-819-9622.
Paypal address: twrooney@pacbell.net (Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge).
Credit Card Square payments (add 3% surcharge) are also accepted.

ON Camera II Monday Nights

I still have one spot in my OC II for experienced actors.

**On Camera Acting II
7 weeks Limited to 10 actors
Dates: September 10th - October 22nd
Time: Mondays 6:30 - 9:30pm
The total cost is $285

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.
Venmo and Paypal work. Venmo (free) via: 323-819-9622.
Paypal address: twrooney@pacbell.net (Choose Friends or Family to avoid surcharge).
Credit Card Square payments (add 3% surcharge) are also accepted.

Audit Spots Available this Saturday, the 25th

Whenever I have enough room in class, I allow for auditing in the first of seven On Camera I classes with no obligation. There are a couple spaces free for OC I this Saturday morning. Let me know if you wanna come and see how we roll. 

FYI, I always hope that the auditors will participate as well, but that is not required. You also may decide to join the class fully (many auditors have), which is great. But again, there is no obligation there.

Please commit only if you are sure to be there and let me know right away if you need to cancel. I only have a couple spots, and I want make sure that they are filled.

Cheers.

Ted

There are several spots still available, and any spots that are not taking by paying students, can be taken by auditors. This is on a first come first Serve basis. Please don’t show up without confirmation that you have a spot ;-)

Last Minute Discount

Hey All. There is still room in my OC I Class that starts tomorrow night (Tuesday the 5th).
We wanna get it filled, so I will make two offers. One is for a 15% last minute discount. Claim it by mentioning the word: “Summer.” The other offer is a free audit of the first class. If you are interested in the class, but not sure, you can come and participate - or just watch - and decide for yourself without any obligation up front. Even if you just come for the one class, I promise you a fun and educational experience. If you do decide to join the class it will be at the discounted rate.

This class was set up to help theatre folks make the adjustment to the camera, as well as introduce acting to the absolute beginner. I have even had a couple advanced on camera actors benefit from the class by revisiting the basics.
