The Basic Actor
Level 1

For those who have little to no experience or who have taken 1 or 2 classes at The Actor’s Scene or elsewhere. This program is good for those who want to explore the world of acting or who simply want to work on self-confidence/self esteem and communication skills.

Students explore the foundations of acting through series of energetic, fun and high energy acting exercises. Teaches all the basics of acting for TV, film and theater. Students are given various scripts throughout the session and are filmed on camera. We then email a link for the student to download their scenes for viewing at home. It’s a great way to see how skills are improved throughout the session.

We have Basic Actor Program for ages 4-Adult and these classes are coached by:
