To be good at anything you need to practice. A lot.
Of course, you should be practicing at home but we all know that but this gets lonely and directionless.
and how can you practice if you’re rarely in front of a camera or in a casting room?
How do you get your 10,000 hours?
THE PRACTICE puts you in an environment where you work on a regular basis with a group of like-minded peers or one on one with me.
This is where the mastery happens— this is where all your ‘breakthrough moments’ come to life as you put the work “into” your body by simply doing it a lot.
Yes, you will be taught about how to use the space, the camera and how to take direction and to stand out using improvisations.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE PRACTICING.
This is your “scales”.
This is how you “show up”.
HOW IT WORKS.
Because I have been so busy this year I have only been able to take on a small amount of clients - that being said- if you want to know how it COULD work to work with me- this is how it goes.
First, we chat on the phone - work out what your goals Then I put you with 3 other students who seem similar to you and you all meet with me every 2 weeks and work on sides from all TV and film genres or if you prefer, theatre.
Pretty soon you will have 3 or 4 great self tapes for you to use to get an Agent - send to CDs (casting directors) & directors - or help your agent see you in a new light— but MORE IMPORTANTLY — you will have been PRACTISING so you will have got better.
Your preparation will improve (which I think where all great work begins - and ends) and your skill set will be tested and consolidated. You will also be shown a rigorous set of tools to implement to help you illuminate a role as you prepare and perform with accuracy and originality.
You will also learn about the backend of the business - not just who is who in a casting room, but how the creative process works from the birth of an idea- to its final production and you will be hugely encouraged to see how you can be a part of this process.
THE PRACTISE will help you face your fears and anxiety head on and with joy— before you go for/do the job which is the least ideal place to solve problems.
You will learn the essential craft of SELF TAPING and so you can AUDITION with confidence and originality as well as starting a CLIP GALLERY which is an essential part of the actor’s toolkit in this DIGITAL AGE.
But most importantly you will PRACTISE because without implementation you have no craft.
THE PRACTICE will transform your acting process from being one of approval seeking and fear to one of empowerment, creativity, and fun.
It will give you the power, the tools, and the discipline to have ownership of your work, the room, and the screen and MOST IMPORTANTLY remind you that it’s all meant to be FUN.
