Current & Upcoming Options

Course # 8: Acting for Camera -LIVE Class - February 2022

COURSE CONTENT:
This is a 7 class course on acting for the camera for those of you with some previous acting experience either in an acting class, on stage, or on sets. We will be learning acting techniques for on-camera auditions, commercial copy, improvisation, devising, comedy and serious scripted scene work.

Participants will become familiar with the filmmaking process, but emphasis will be on the acting process as tailored for the camera. We will practice techniques to develop the inner life of the character, clarify the dramatic action, and increase moment to moment awareness.

Students will be required to memorise scripts and MUST be responsible to scene partners in the later part of the course. Prior acting experience is needed for this course.

This class has a smaller class size and is limited to 10 students maximum in order to provide the highest quality of instruction. These On-Camera classes are focused on the acting process and will involve video playback. Because it is a process-oriented course, we do not keep or publish the work that is done in the class. This allows more time for the acting work, and less time is spent on the technical elements.

  • When: Wednesdays, 7:00-9:30pm, February 16th-April 6th, 2022. (No class March 16th,)
  • Where: Flying Turtle Studio, 27 Pearse Street, 2nd Floor, Dublin D02K037
  • Instructor: Kathleen Warner Yeates
  • Fees: €270, Minimum non-refundable deposit of €100 due within 3 days of reservation. Remaining balance due in full by February 2nd, two weeks prior to start of class. No credits or refund if student misses class.

Testimonials

“I took the 7 week Acting for Camera course to work on my confidence on camera. I had previous camera training and experience in film and commercials but had come back to auditioning after a hiatus and felt rigid and nervous on camera. The class was capped at 10 students which was perfect, and everyone received some on-camera time each week, followed by viewing and constructive comments. In just 7 short weeks we all improved as actors and got a better idea of what works and doesn’t work for us. We even learned a couple of monologues to boot.
