Why?
This Live Workout is designed to keep your In Person On Camera Skills Sharp. Much like a Live Call back or Chemistry read even for Virtual auditions.
Our focus this year is Finding & Creating “Visual Nouns”
to tell the story Visually Within the Frame. We’ll also focus on Implementing Specific Notes & Adjustments in Real Time & On The Spot.
How it works:
Each Participants should prepare the material as they would a Live Audition or Callback, being as Off Book as humanly possible & Ready to take Notes or Adjustment between the 2 On Camera Takes in Session. Once everyone is done On Camera we’ll
have a Q&A session. Participants will be emailed a Link to watch Playback at home.
Please bring a Notebook & Pen to take notes as we’ll cover Months of Tools & Techniques within hours.
It’s limited to Only 10 On Camera Participant Spots this session & they will go Fast, so jump on these.

Limited to 10 Participants

$50 to Observe
Limited to Only 20 Observers!
What
On Camera Workouts are all about?
On Camera Workouts are about the actor's process. Understanding the actor's Responsibility & contribution to the collaborative process of auditioning for film, television and theater. I will help you implement audition and self taping techniques from my 40 years experience. If you want be a Working Actor, learn directly from a Working Actor.
How it Works
You can either Participate or Observe. Participants will be sent Current Film & TV Audition material to prepare. You should however prepare the material as you would a Real audition.
If you are an Observer you will be sent a Zoom link. We do this for security purposes so we know who we are admitting into Zoom. You do not need to prepare anything.
