NEW: Audition Fridays w/ Top Casting Directors, Agents
ATNY’s Professional Summer In-Studio Comprehensive Camps are designed to be flexible, comprehensive and career enhancing. Each camp week consists of 8 practical genres of study, all contributing to a young actor’s continued growth and progression. No two weeks are alike, so register for several weeks for continued study!
Camp 7: All acting needs to be honest and real, regardless of genre. Even when telling a real-life personal story, as soon as we’re aware that there’s a camera or an audience, we’ll fall into the “performance trap” of changing the inflection of our voice or our body language, because there’s a theatrical urge to force the feeling rather than allow it to develop organically as the script unfolds. We suddenly become conscious of an ‘audience.’ We get in our heads, which get in our own way. Elevate your audition level by being comfortable with being truthful in front of the camera and making meaningful eye-contact. In this class, students learn to incorporate a sense of self, and let go of all things performance, and over-the-top theatrical and artificial mannerisms. Make the camera mark your comfort zone.
Concepts: Objective. The pursuit of objective. Intention. How your intention changes. Scene Partner. Meisner Technique. You don’t change. You allow your scene partner to change you. Transition. Silence. Focus. Observation. (We encourage improvisation incorporation).
