free Actor's Reel where students can literally email a

audition or as a way of introducing themselves to potential

Advanced Screen Acting & Character
Instructor: Jen McCabe, Gary Bennett & Guests
This class is the continuation of the work accomplished in the previous semesters, concentrating on character work in a medium shot.
Advanced Voice & Character for Screen
Instructor: Karen Braga,
Faye Simpson and Sara
Krieger
In this class we will continue our exploration of individual holding patterns in relationship to vocal freedom. Students will learn a vocal warm-up suitable for film and tv work. Material : 4 weeks voice over/commercial copy, 4 weeks soap scenes, 4 weeks film and tv scenes.
Focus: how vocally bold can we be? – striving for a full vocal sound and range with less tension and more natural expression.
Contemporary
Film Genres and History
Instructor: Charlie Bass
This
class focuses on the study and appreciation of film acting
styles from the 1960s through today. A wide range of actors
and performances from across the globe will be intensely
examined through a variety of critical forms (genre, history,
cultural influence). In revealing the multifaceted nature
of modern performance, the class hopes to give each student
a more informed perspective on film acting, thus providing
an invaluable skill for their own work as creative performers.
Shakespeare
on Film
Instructor: Joe Siravo
This
course differs from most film anthology or history classes
in that we not only view and discuss Shakespearean productions
previously filmed, but we also tape our student actors
doing Shakespearean monologues and scenes. The thrust
of the class is not only analytical and historical but
also directly experimental. The course targets the acting
skills necessary to successfully make the transition from
bolder Shakespearean stage acting to the more intimate
demands of acting on film. With the resurgence of Shakespearean
film productions, both in traditional and experimental
modes, and films about Shakespeare (his real name: Will
Shaksper!) possibly growing in popularity (thanks to the
Best Picture Oscar for Shakespeare in Love), Shakespeare
on Film hopes to prepare actors for the demands that this
new and yet so old material places on the film actor.
