One of the biggest questions actors face as we come out of the Covid lockdown is, “Are online classes worth it?’ 

 One of the most positive things to come out of the Covid-19 shut-down has been the advent of Online Acting Classes.  Born out of necessity, they offered people all over the world access to classes & coaching with the best acting teachers. At PTS, we have been coaching actors online since 2000 and teaching parts of all our classes online since 2012. This experience has taught us that the actors learn faster & better, and we can teach on higher level with online acting classes.  Having actors work “inside the frame” of their computer monitor mimics the actor’s real-world workspace for auditions and film & Tv work. The real workspace is not the “Set” but rather the frame for each shot.

The great film actors know how to work inside the frame so that the camera catches every nuance of their performance. There are two teachers. Penny Templeton works  with the actors to strengthen their acting technique through specially created exercises.  Technical Director Hank Schob works with the actors to develop the technical side of working on camera. All actors work in front of virtual backgrounds and greenscreen.  This gives the actor instant feedback on how well their acting is working inside the frame. This allows the class to focus on the most transformative skills an actor needs, complex moving thoughts and emotions to take their work to the next level world of film & television and theater.  with 30 years of teaching this Online On-Camera Acting Class has long been recognized as  one of the best acting classes online. This powerful and comprehensive lass was chosen by Columbia University for inclusion in its MFA program, and is highly recommended by top agents, and casting directors for learning Film & Television Camera acting techniques.

FREE SAMPLE CLASS –  August 10^th

• The difference between booking small co-star roles and major supporting and leading roles in film and television boils down to how deep your acting goes within the frame, for every shot from every angle from the master shot to two-shots to close-ups and reaction shots. It is not just acting with a camera pointed at you.

• Your eyes and thoughts must fill the frame with every piece of information the audience needs to receive for the scene to work and to fulfill the need of every shot for the editor.  Knowing how to have the exact eye line necessary for each shot and creating the intimacy of the conversation are key to booking anything more than one or two lines.

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 3 hour Free Sample Classes 4 times a year.
