Acting for the Camera workshop

The only time for at least another 3 years because of my schedule, I'm conducting an Acting for the Camera workshop October 24 and 25 (Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm), in Seattle.

LA Casting Director Russell Boast will drop in, via Skype, to talk about what they're seeking in auditions there.

If you want to work on a short scene (very short) with me, you can arrange to get it to me ahead of time; I'll select some we can perform live for the camera. You and your scene can be a visual aide for the workshop.

If enough directors show up, I'll also give tips on how to direct actors for the camera - both improv and scripted scenes - with newbie and established "stars."

Bring a lunch - we'll be working straight through with few breaks to make the most of our time.

Assisting me is Karie Gonia, whom I coached and who just finished working on the lead role in the indie feature PERFECT 10. Cast and crew report her performance is a knock-out!

Registration is mandatory - if you're interested, email me at cpcontacts@comcast.net for details.

This seminar is not for the humor-challenged. While we'll work very hard, learning is easier, better remembered and more empowering when fun is a factor!
