Narration Clinic

Narration Clinic

This clinic focuses on the principles what it takes to give compelling performances in the “marathon, not a sprint” that is much of narration (documentaries, audiobooks, eLearning). Like Workout Groups, each instance of the Clinic is a bit different from the last: digging into manuscripts for acting clues, sustaining the listener's interest, vocal stamina, and minimizing mistakes in order to maintain performance. And never forgetting that, even when it’s a solo performance, it’s still character-based.

Grimoire Clinic
Dec
16

Grimoire Clinic

One of the best practices an actor can do is to develop characters that they can pull out as needed and kept in a Grimoire, or a character bible. (A Rolodex, if you prefer old-school terminology!) These should not be stereotypes or even archetypes, but deep, unique and interesting people that give depth to roles, and have the versatility to be put into multiple situations.

The Grimoire Clinic is the place to train, try out, and evolve everything related to creating or enhancing characters in your toolbox:  something new, or deepening a role, possibly inventing an offshoot of an existing character, and so on.  You can bring scripts, or scripts can be assigned in-session based on what you’re wanting to work on.

  • Monday, December 16, 2024

  • 10:00AM - 12:00PM Pacific Time

  • Via Zoom

  • Members: $125

  • Non-Members: $175

  • Limited to 5 attendees

Combat Clinic
Nov

Combat Clinic

Combat is so much more than attacks, hits, and deaths - it involves terror, stress and boredom; heroism and confusion; survival and moral choices. Most of us will never be in combat situations, yet it’s commonplace in video games. This clinic puts a granular focus on these aspects so that actors will not only be better prepared for actual combat games, but for any conflict resolution and realism, even when the only weapons are words.

Pro Series - The Edge of Spec: Booking More Auditions

Pro Series - The Edge of Spec: Booking More Auditions

The audition comes to your inbox. It seems so obvious what they're looking for. How do you differentiate yourself? What's too safe and what's too far?

We're going to take you to boundary edges and explore the nuances that are the difference between a perfectly nice audition and something that makes casting directors sit up and say “that's our actor.” You must come prepared to work and to be pushed, as well as to offer thoughtful, constructive feedback as well as take it. Because the work you put in here when you have an audience will serve you well when you're alone in your booth.

This will be limited to 12 actors and will be two intensive, full days. If you're ready to go for the bigger projects, the more visible roles, and the memorable characters, come join me.

License to Create: Character Innovation Beyond the Script

You have license to be imaginative and create, with a bit of adherence to the guideposts along the way. Create characters you can believe in with risks and stakes YOU feel are worth fighting for. By emotionally committing, you will deliver something compelling and ultimately original. More often than not, originality gets the gig!
