Class Description

This class is designed for actors committed to challenging themselves to sharpen the precision and quality of their on-camera craft to the highest standard. Over six weeks, you’ll practice identifying a scene’s triggering events, selecting the sharpest human- and text-specific choices. You will practice allowing yourself to experience the consequences of those choices. You will also learn how to experience it flowing through your voice and body as you breathe into the moment-to-moment transitions. 

You will learn:

  • How to apply drills from ACTING REWIRED to turn technique into truthful on-camera performances.
  • New ways to express complex emotions for the screen that are efficient and practical.
  • Tips to quickly adapt to specific film and TV directions.
  • How to break down scripts to the micro level, leaving no element overlooked.
  • How to craft honest and organic on-screen performances for a range of characters and situations.
  • How to identify your “thought replacements” and “thought triggers.”
  • How to locate the “chemical conflict” at the heart of your character’s toughest choices.
  • Become more adept and quicker at exchanging objectives/verbs/beats with Event/ Choice/Consequence workflow.
  • A five-step training tool on how to do a thorough debrief after each workout and plan the “reps” you will need to execute to raise your game and stay sharp for auditions and on-set.
  • The craft of breaking down your work without breaking down.
  • How to prep efficiently and with more joy.

Bring an SD Card and review your classwork. We will record your final on-camera class and send you a scene you can show and be proud of.

All class format, content, core values, techniques and drills were created and developed by Lewis Baumander.
