Jamie Teaches Acting Class

Come Audit The Class For FREE and see if it's right for you! The class starts with a meditation called the Inner Creative State which prepares actors for the night ahead. This is followed by a warm up of the voice and body. The first exercise is an AUDITION EXERCISE where actors are given a scene ahead of time to prepare and perform as if they are at a final call back. The scene is then broken down and discussed using the tools of the STANISLAVSKI METHOD. Finally, the scene is viewed on a big screen TV as it appeared in the film. Actors are then given an original ONE PAGE SCENE that they will work on with Jamie and receive direction. Every class is themed to focus on one or more important aspects of the method! Working on stage three times a night guarantees to sharpen any actor's instrument and prepare you for that next big opportunity.
