Acting the Extremes
This 1-day class will teach you how to master many of the "extreme" characters you may come across in your career!
Actors are called upon to tackle all kinds of challenging material. How would you approach a Disney Villain? Or a sitcom stereotype? How about the next Mother of Dragons?
In this class, Howard will teach you how to avoid common traps involved with playing the extremes. Each actor will be assigned unique material - there's no one-size-fits-all! Each extreme has a specific lesson. Learn the right ways to approach an extreme role without losing your authenticity or becoming a stereotype.
Some extremes that may be covered:
How it works:
Each performing participant will be cast in a scene and required to film a self-tape of the scene prior to class. Thorough knowledge of self-taping is required to ensure all tapes submitted resemble professional self-tapes. If you are new to self-taping, please do not sign up as a participant.
Participation in this class is subject to review and approval of the actor's self-tape. Although rare, anyone whose tape is not approved will be refunded and allowed to watch the class instead.
You should NOT sign up to peform in this class unless you have previous acting and self-tape experience.
