The Young Actor's Studio

The young actor learns about the technicalities of working on camera, how to make a scene real, as well as various audition techniques to make them stand out.  In addition, they learn comedy improv and gain a freedom in front of the camera. It is recommended that students have at least one semester of Acting Technique when enrolling.

Students learn how to use their own unique qualities to act. Through the basics of the Stanislavski system, the young actor learns about wants/objectives, through-line of action, sense memory, place-work, and past circumstances, as well as improvisation, story-telling and theatre games. Students begin to develop a self-confidence that will stay with them wherever they may go, and have a lot of fun in the process!

The Young Actor's StudioActing Technique and Production: We recommend that all students take acting technique along with the production class. The technique is to help the student to use their own personality and experience and allow that to live on screen or stage and the production class teaches students to merge that into the scripted role. Although, we allow certain students to try just technique, we feel it is better to add production because it gives you a deadline and challenge to meet within the semester.
