 For the Professional Actor – By Invitation only

SUMMER MASTER CLASSES 

We have planned a 3-month program June-August on working with our actors on creativity and developing their own work instead of waiting for something to happen.  Our Acting Lions have been very successful in this with one-man shows, Short-films, Indy-films, Plays, & Web series, including a Golden Globe Award for My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend [Rachel Bloom].

A 3 Month Plan for:

Developing & Owning Your Creative Process

• JUNE:  Applying Michael Chekhov Techniques to Creating your own “Unusual Dynamic Character”
• JULY: Developing a character for your “one-person” show
• AUGUST:  Developing the First Scene of Your One-Person Show and your overall concept. With Special Guest Joe Brancato [Artistic Director – Penguin Rep and director, producer of many new plays]

Our Online Live Acting Master Classes are for the performer whose training is at the highest level.

Former Acting Lions have booked over 150 Series Regular Roles and won 10 Emmys,  and been leads  in over 50 Broadway Shows

TESTIMONIALS

“I have yet to find another class that incorporates exercises, cold audition scenes, scene study, on camera scenes, sensory work, writing, monologues, breathing and more.  Penny teaches you how to get the job and what to do once you’ve got it.” —Tricia Helfer – Actress – Lucifer, The Firm, 17^th Precinct,  Battlestar  Galactica, Dark Blue

“I love the online classes because like you said it simulates the self tape experience very closely and also the on camera closeup. Also, love the fact that I don’t have to commute 1 hr to get to a class.” —Jagan Badvel

“Unless you only want to do stage work  this is a Video/Film  Medium and 100% of the class is ON Camera . Logically it stands to reason that the more experience you have with Camera angles , lighting , blocking , matching shots pretty much everything that goes into filming a scene from a performer standpoint is addressed.”  — Johnny Morrow

Applicants  must have previous training and professional experience and successfully completed one or more of the following classes:  

• Introductory Coaching Package
• Beginning Acting Technique
• Advanced on Camera Class

AUDITING: Class is about working on your craft, exploring who you are, growing, trying new things, failing and getting right back up,  and learning to take big risks.  An “audience”  impedes that process because no actor wants to fail or look bad in front strangers while learning something new. We instead offer  Free One night Acting Classes several times a year. For more information: Go to FREE Acting  Class  –   Next Free Acting Technique Class is June 29^th
