Acting Scene Study for Film

No matter which technique an actor has been trained with, or if they have no experience at all, in this class we will focus on achieving natural and believable performances. We will also focus on researching a character: costume, psychology, physicality, etc.  You learn to make the character real to yourself and to the audience.
