Each class will start with a warm up (to ready the body and mind for acting). We will then jump right into that day’s lesson. Each day will be different and could include improvisation exercises, (these are quite fun and usually a big hit), learning about commercials, script analysis, the differences between comedy and drama acting, filmmaking lingo etc. Some days they will be on camera trying the skills we have learned and watching playback. Each session will end with a final project they will get to show their family and keep.

PREPARATION IS IMPORTANT! Students WILL need to do some work at home on their own. With any acting, an actor needs to know their character and learn lines (I will always keep it short). As with anything, preparation is the key to success. In acting, preparation means freedom. It gets you out of your head and into the moment, and THAT is where the magic happens! But don’t worry, there is always a second take if they forget a line, it happens to even the most seasoned professionals.

Discover Parents:
You are more than welcome to relax in our waiting room during class! Because our space carries sound, you will easily be able to hear your children having fun and learning. To help them stay focused on their activities, we strictly ask that you do not look through the viewing window.

Please remember that this is treated as an active film set. Because sound travels both ways, the camera can hear everything happening in the waiting room. The waiting room must remain a completely silent space. We appreciate your full cooperation in keeping this area quiet and distraction-free!

Express Parents:
To help our teen actors build confidence and truly embrace the creative process, our classes are closed to observers. Acting requires a high level of vulnerability. We want to provide a safe space where students feel completely free to take risks and make mistakes without the pressure of an audience—we save that exciting part for the final product!

Don't worry, you won't miss out. We will host a special "Premiere" during our very last class of the session, where you can come in and see exactly what the kids have created.

That's completely okay—and very common. Many actors start out shy! We create a supportive environment where students are encouraged to participate at their own pace while gradually building confidence. You will be surprised what the camera can capture even from our more guarded students.

Because each week builds on the previous lesson, we encourage students to attend every class whenever possible. If a class is missed, we'll do our best to help the student catch up during the following week. Any scripts will be emailed so the student has the opportunity to work on it at home. There are no makeup classes or refunds given for missed classes.

Yes! Every student will spend time acting on camera throughout the session. Watching playback is one of the best ways to learn and improve.
