Acting for Camera

These On-Camera classes are focused on the acting process, and you will be videotaped and see playback in each class. 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.

In order to provide the highest level of tuition, Adult Acting for Camera courses are limited to only 10 student maximum

Instructor Kathleen Warner Yeates is a working film actor and director, and works as a professional Directing Actors for Film Specialist. Professional actor Steve Gunn also facilitates..

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.
