6 week Los Angeles class
Hallie Todd Studios is holding a six-week Auditioning, Cold Reading and Camera Technique class from April 15th to May 20th, 2010 in Los Angeles. Classes are small and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis.
For our upcoming film, currently in pre-production, we are committed to casting primarily from our student base. If you wish to be considered, enrollment in class is strongly recommended.
THURSDAYS
April 15th - May 20th, 2010 (6 class meetings)
6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
COST: $350 (plus processing fee*)
In this six-week session we will focus on building raw material into an integrated performance for the camera.
PART ONE - Weeks 1-3
The world of auditioning is about creating something special and memorable with little or no time. Actors must make personal and high-stakes choices based on an often-limited understanding of the text, character and action.
Through scripted material from a variety of styles from different mediums, we will focus on choices, commitment, and "owning" the audition.
The tools taught in this class will assist you whether meeting agents, managers, casting directors, college admissions directors, future employers, or the rest of the world. Let the insights of truly experienced Hollywood professionals guide you in creating a memorable experience for your audience.
PART TWO - Weeks 3-6
The second three weeks will bring the work from the first three to the camera.
What are the fundamentals of acting on film?
o Hitting marks.
o Emotional and physical continuity.
o Relaxation.
o Honesty.
o Imaginative and unique acting choices.
Learn to calibrate a performance appropriate to the lens choice, shot design and angle. Throughout each session, students will view filmed exercises of their work and engage in discussions to measure knowledge of the content covered.
REQUIREMENTS:
All students are asked to bring a minimum of three 1-2 minute contemporary monologues These pieces can be from a play, movie, television script, edited from a novel, or original material. Please bring 3 typewritten (12 pt) copies to the first class, one for each instructor and one for yourself. These pieces SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMANCE READY, and need only be LOOSELY memorized. (Please call if you have any questions.)
LOCATION:
Studio City

Through scripted material, combined with exercises and games, we will work on text analysis, character and action, addressing the common mistakes and habits actors make that can inhibit their most honest, interesting and memorable performances from reaching the audience.
