Acting Truthfully 

Intermediate Acting

Reno Venturi

What do we mean when we say an actor is being truthful? After all, they are acting — they’re not really the person they’re playing in the show; they haven’t really lost their loved one, or been shot, or even defeated the evil villain. What they have done is learn how to personally relate to and empathize with the character’s experience, behave in a manner, both physically and emotionally, that makes sense for the character in that particular situation, and created that behavior so specifically that we, the audience, can’t help but identify with him or her in a meaningful way

Intermediate level acting course is for those with previous workshop  performance experience who are interested in exploring their uniqueness through scene study and special exercises.

Commercial Audition Class

With Special Guest

Casting Agent, Doris Silk

Master your levels of focus and confidence in commercial auditions, on the set and beyond!

At an audition how are your interview, improvisation and cold read skills?

According to casting directors, there is a growing need for actors with strong commercial improvisation skills. In fact, many breakdowns read “strong improv skills a must.” Most commercial auditions don’t always consist of reading large volumes of copy where the actor gets to show his or her great “acting” ability.

For consistent success in commercials, the actor will be required to be reasonably good at doing certain activities “consciously,” that they are usually excellent doing in the outside world, “unconsciously.” Activities such as eating and not having a mouth full of food on your line, driving an imaginary car, looking out of the sunroof for address numbers on top of a skyscraper building, and at the same time entering information into the navigation system while talking on the cell phone, and of course remembering that you are driving a car, so you must look out of the window often enough so you won’t crash! And yes, it must look real.

Instruction:

On-camera with -

Cue cards

How to interpret and read commercial copy and make sense!

Improv - how to think precisely and respond correctly in Improv situations.

The correct approach to slating and personality interviewing.
How to feel “comfortable in your own skin” in front of the camera and producers.
How to stand out in an audition while performing with difficult actors.
How to graduate from the training mindset to the trusting mindset in auditions and so much more!

There will be no doubt in your mind that you can pass any “test” given to you at auditions because you will know with certainty that you have been equipped with the tools necessary to be absolutely outstanding at commercial auditions. You will impress the decision makers and bookings are sure to follow!

Note: Doris will be available the first class. In addition to a brief lecture, there will be a question & answer period as well as an on camera audition and critique.

Be sure to bring your head shot and resume if applicable.
