Acting Technique: 9 Week
*Howard’s Recommendation!* For over 30 years, Howard Fine has taught a comprehensive acting technique class in Los Angeles called the Foundation. The Foundation is our deluxe acting intensive – what we’re known for and often what sells out quick! Originally an entire semester long, it has since been distilled into this 9-week intensive suitable for actors of all levels. A fun, challenging, thorough approach to the craft, with the goal of giving actors a complete toolbox to master scene work, book professional auditions, and work at the highest levels of the industry. This deluxe acting technique class is the best value for any serious actor looking to hone their craft, and it is our faculty’s preferred way that actors join the studio. A complete A-Z of acting where you study with the master teacher right from the beginning and continue on with a foundation in the craft.
If you have prior training, or are unable to commit to the full schedule of the deluxe acting intensive, we offer an alternative 6 week version covering the highlights of the deluxe version.
