Scene Study for Actors

Scene study, revolutionized

 

Scene Study at The Acting Center is all about learning by doing.

We train instincts, not masks. Our approach blends craft, play and disciplined practice so actors stay present, specific, and fearless – on camera and on stage.

You’ll experience new ground-breaking techniques and see how they work for yourself. You’ll learn how to create real, interesting, and powerful characters and performances in new and deeper ways. Every actor works extensively in every class, making this non-trauma-based method more exciting, energizing, and useful than older styles of training.

This class grows with you. No matter where you’re starting, you’ll see a change in your work and take your acting to the next level.

This class isn’t about tips and tricks that create hit-and-miss actors. This is real-world acting training at its best.

With this acting technique, a casting director’s request for you to audition for a different character than the one you prepared, an unexpected script change or a director asking you to switch gears in front of the camera becomes something you’ll easily handle.

And last-minute auditions with no time to prepare will become something you can handle with ease.

Knowing our fundamentals, you’ll also experience new confidence. Instead of questioning your choices or wondering if you could have “done more,” you’ll know how to approach a role with tools you can rely on during auditions, performances and on set.

Stop second guessing your choices.

You’ll deliver performances artfully—and without second-guessing yourself. In The Acting Center’s scene study classes you will work on many things including how to:

Create a character that fits the story.

With our technique, your performance will align with the overall message and theme of the story—something few actors even think about, let alone master.

Make your dialog natural and alive.

Become your character so fully that you think their thoughts when you say the lines—making the dialog sound rich and alive.

Add layers and subtleties.

Nuanced work is rarely achieved except by the world’s greatest actors. With our groundbreaking technique, you can learn to add captivating details and depth.

Eliminate confusion on script and character research.

Does the character breakdown not give you enough to work with? Discover new ways to flesh out the details.

Master emotional states.

Are you able to express and experience some emotions better than others? Expand your range with our unique technique.

Overcome stage fright or take your performances to the next level.

With our unique performance-based technique, you will perform regularly in gradually more extensive scenes and monologues. Our technique repeatedly enables students to overcome stage fright, become confident as actors and master the art of the theater.
