On-Camera Classes: Detailed Class Descriptions
Acting for the Camera

Understand the technical and emotional adjustments required for working in front of the camera in a relaxed and truthful way. Learn to develop a relationship with the camera.
Students will learn how to perform in front of a camera including blocking, reading teleprompters, what it means to “hit your mark”, and other camera techniques.
Auditions: On-Camera and In-Person
Mock or real auditions. Most auditions today are self-taped, although there are occasions when an in person audition is required, especially on call-backs. Learn how actors audition for roles in the real world, as well as industry standards such as “slate shots”.
Personal Recordings
Students can rehearse and film monologues, scenes, YouTube videos, short films, or anything your imagination can come up with. Film commercials and learn the skills to sell on camera like a real professional. Learn industry terms like “call to action”, and “back to one”. Play them for your family and friends.
Script Writing
Bring in your ideas or collaborate with an instructor to write scripts and then perform them for the camera. Script ideas can be for short stories, YouTube podcasts, documentaries, mock newscasts, advertising your favorite products for a commercial and more.
Broadcasting

Teleprompter Techniques
Students can learn the skills necessary to work off a teleprompter. These are often used in commercials that use a spokesperson.

Anchors for newscasts always use teleprompters, and it’s their job to breathe life into the words rolling on the screen.
