This class is ideal for anybody who wants to take the first few steps to acting in front of the camera (and those who want to do it better) or those with exeperience acting on stage who want to discover how to deliver great moments on screen.

Class will cover screen techniques, connecting with your scene partner, auditioning for film, cold reading, and more.
