Start dates for all classes, Summer 2017


**UPDATED DATES FOR ALL CLASSES!!**

Here it is! The definitive list of classes I'll be teaching throughout the summer. This will allow you to plan for the ones that are right for you and your progress as an actor, as well as for your schedule.

Acting for Film
Tuition: $175
Want to understand how to translate your performance for the camera? Feel like you're a good actor but lack experience with television and film? Want to understand the industry better? This class is a perfect fit for you!

Acting for Film will begin Wednesday, August 23 and will run through September 27. Each class session will meet from 7-10pm (depending on class size).

To sign up, please go here and fill out the form.

Voiceover
Tuition: $175
Want to know how to get started in this exciting and growing area of performance? Love creating new voices but have no idea what you're doing in front of the mic? Want to audition in your pajamas, without leaving your home? Voiceover is the place for you! In this class, we will work on commercial/industrial, book narration, and animation/video game voiceover work.

Voiceover will start Thursday Sep. 7th and go through Oct. 12th. Each class session will meet from 7-10pm (depending on class size).

To sign up, please go here and fill out the form.

Auditions
Tuition: $175
Feel like you're an amazing actor, but that you just can't book? Wanting to move to LA, but are afraid you don't know what to do? Need that extra edge in the room? This class will knock your socks off!

Auditions will start Monday, August 28th and go through October 2nd, skipping Sep. 9th (Labor Day). Each class session will meet from 7-10pm (depending on class size).

To sign up, please go here and fill out the form.

Location:
All classes will meet at 381 East, 230 South. It's a house, and we'll be meeting in the studio space above the garage. There will be signs, but you will enter through the gate on the right side of the house, then take the stairs up to the studio.

To sign up, please go here and fill out the form. In order to secure your place in the class, you'll need to pay at least the $35 non-refundable deposit. Links are below for each class.  Full payment depends on the class. The non-refundable deposit for all classes/camps is $35. If you make a deposit, the remainder of the payment will be due on or before the first day of class. That final payment can be made in cash, check, or credit card.

Once the classes have started, the entire amount is due, regardless of the number of classes you end up attending. If something happens during the course (for example, a show or film) and you need to withdraw, talk to me about it. I can pro-rate the remainder of the classes and use it as a deposit for my next round of classes.

For those who might need some flexibility on payment, contact me (actingwithoutthedrama -at- gmail -dot- com) with a payment plan already thought through. I'll let you know whether or not it's something I can work with.

Enrollment is limited (I like to keep the classes small), so make sure and sign up quickly! Your deposit insures your place in the course. Don't worry. If the classes fill up, I'll refund your deposit fully.

A note on tuition: you are signing up for the entire course. If you have to miss a class, you won't be refunded for that day. You're encouraged to clear your schedule on the day of class for the entire 6-week course.

Once you sign up, make sure you find and prepare a one-minute monologue for the Acting for Film class (have it memorized and ready to perform for when the class starts). For the Voiceover class, look for commercial copy (voiceover ads from the radio or television). For the Auditions class, bring in auditioning sides that fit you as far as casting. That material will be the first thing we'll be working on. If you need help with this, email me (actingwithoutthedrama -at- gmail -dot- com) for tips and places you can start looking.
