AC Presents:
In this three-session class, Martin Blank will teach you the basics of acting on camera.
The first class will start off with an overview of how stage and film acting differ, and we’ll quickly drill down to techniques and camera acting craft. Each class member will be assigned film sides to work on in class on their own.
Participants will come away with a strong understanding of exactly what to do in on-camera auditions and on-set work—as well as ways they can continue to build on-camera acting muscle working on their own.
This class is for actors with stage or film experience.
