You can work through the course at your own speed which is designed to take you from scratch to method acting mastery.
Self-Created Character
In the first four sessions, I will take you through a process to create a new and unique character from your imagination. You will identify their psychology, physicality, the clothes they wear and any objects they use in day-to-day life. Then I will set you a challenge (which is optional) to create a short monologue that you will self-tape and send in for me for critique. I will watch your work and then send you a personal video critique for your eyes only.
Scripted Character
In the second four sessions, you will focus on a character from a play and use the tools and techniques taught to create them.
Who Is It For?
This course is for anyone who has a serious desire to be able to act at a profound level. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or a pro, there is a very high probability that what you will learn on the course will be new to you regardless of level. The course takes you from scratch through my process which you can work through at your own speed.
