Confidence on Camera | Self Tape Professional – Online
Film+TV Acting Class Thursdays, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (PDT) Ongoing, via Zoom Instructor: Michael Bean |
Most professional auditions now happen via self-tape or Zoom. This class ensures you’re prepared to book work in today’s industry by developing the real skills folks use to audition and work in film and television, in the same place where you’ll be taping most of your auditions — at home.
Actors will learn how to deal with the challenges of self-tape auditions, like:
● How do you record at home a script that was written to be shot professionally?
● How do you perform at home so it looks like you’re a real, living person, in a real place?
● How do you create a unique, compelling performance while still telling the story?
Personalized:
Michael personally assigns each student a film or TV script tailored to their experience, interests, and goals. Students can expect to work on progressively challenging scenes in a variety of styles.
Collaborative:
Class starts with a check in about what’s most alive and interesting for each actor, and ends with the invitation to reflect on what stood out about each actor’s work during the class.
Professional:
Actors should come to class prepared, with their scene off-book and ready to take direction.
Measurable:
All work is recorded and uploaded to a private folder, allowing you to track your progress over time.
MICHAEL BEAN has a twenty-three year track record of helping students make their dream of working professionally in film and television a reality.
