My first Actor's training I ever took was Intro to Shurtleff with Joshua, and On Camera Intro with Sarah Charipar. Both classes- because of the instructors- unlocked my brain into the world of immersing myself into imagination and critique of self. Because of ASC, I have been able to dive deep into an evolution of my auditions. Last year, I worked on a short film that was nominated for multiple film festival selections. I recently booked another short film, which begins filming next week. The current training with Christina [Gorman] allowed myself to be warmed-up and prepared for my booking. I'm extremely grounded in the fact that out of all training types I have received so far, ASC is a hidden gem of Chicago and possibly the U.S. Thank you ASC--I'm so happy to have learned everything I have so far from you. Best, John Stripe Tiggemann
ADVANCED ON CAMERA with JANELLE SNOW
Many working actors are confident in their on-stage craft but want to expand their skill-set and build confidence in front of the camera. In this class, actors will learn how to prep in real audition time for roles in various genres and styles, including procedurals, melodramas, sci-fi/fantasy, sitcoms, and commercial copy. Audition and business strategies are discussed, as well as scene work and playback every week.
This class is ideal for the actor with a BFA or MFA in Theatre with several post-collegiate, professional theatre credits.
Required: A strong theatre background and prior training determined by headshot and resume.
In the event of inclement winter weather, your class will move to Zoom. ASC staff will make the decision by 3 pm the day of class and send you a Zoom link via email and text.
