- Acting Exercises and/or Improv Games with Teaching Point
- Scripted Material - the bulk of class will be spent on the scripted material.
Types of scripted material are on a 4-week rotation:
- Commercials including Slating. Improvised and Scripted Commercials are addressed.
- 2-person Scene, with both people onstage (like theatre).
- TV & Film Auditions using a Scene, with only one actor onstage/on-camera, like a self-tape video audition.
- Monologues - Students may bring in their own, or do one that the instructor provides.
Note: Anytime a student wants to bring in her/his own material to prepare for an audition, s/he may do that instead of working on the scripted material that everyone else is doing.
