I offer an intensive designed to give you tools to better inhabit the characters you play and to allow you to bring more spontaneity and originality to your work in auditions and bookings.
This is a 2-day course- 5 hrs/day, where you will be guided in relaxation technique, sense memory and improv to deepen the connection to the material and help you to become more natural. This is an adult course, suitable for all levels.
If you are struggling with bookings it may be that they are consistently “seeing your acting.” It’s the biggest complaint I’ve heard from casting- when you act as though you are the character, imposing what you think they want to see-on camera it looks fake. So take this intensive and start being able to trust letting them see you as the character - full of life and authenticity!
What to expect:
The first half of each day:
Working with a specific relaxation technique to help you deal with performance anxiety and to help you access your emotions while acting. Then we will work on sense memory exercises to help with dealing with character building and text.
The second half of each day:
We will apply the techniques to scenes or monologues.
Sense memory is a technique in which an actor draws on the memory of sensations from personal experiences to create a genuine response in their characters.

In this class, I teach the fundamental techniques of The Method, which are relaxation and sense memory. In the second half of the class you will learn how to use this technique on camera.
This class is suitable for actors looking to expand their technique. If you have trouble accessing your emotions this class will help you to do so by teaching you to create a mind/ body connection. Also a great way to develop an on camera technique and confidence in working on camera.
