CLASS DETAILS

Specialist film acting course in Manchester

Manchester acting classes are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

The specialist acting classes are limited to a maximum of 8 actors (usually less).

Small compared to other acting courses (which can have over 15 people).

This means you get plenty of time to be seen and given direction.

Each week of study builds with scenes and direction to better understand:

script breakdown, character study, use of voice, audition technique,

body language, and more importantly - real world on-set acting techniques!

YOU WILL BE ON CAMERA EVERY WEEK.

(Unless the class has a rare special workshop, i.e., repetition exercise, cold reading)

You'll usually receive your scene 5 to 6 days before class night.

Actors are welcome to return term after term (many do).

Classes for beginners or experienced actors.

press for - Class night information
1/ Class usually commences with practical theory about subjects such as; the different styles of screen acting,
script breakdown, body language, production terminology, help with CV's, and useful on set tips.
2/ You rehearse the script (usually received 6 days before).
3/ Valuable personal time in front of me to observe your scene for notes and redirection.
4/ You get time to rehearse the scene again, then it is filmed on video.
5/ The group watches all the scenes - which are critiqued.
Occasional acting classes are devoted to:
My own "emotional close-up exercise",
cold reading, audition, Meisner based variation of “Repetition Exercise”.

press for - Thinking of acting in LA
Ian has been in Los Angeles 3 times every year since 1999.

His hands-on experience of directing actors in his UK and Los Angeles productions enables him to pass on the technical skills, and tricks of the trade that you would not receive in many (if any) other acting workshops...
He's therefore very knowledgeable about an actors life in LA.
