6 Week Online Class - $375 (earlybird $350 thru 8/28)

The Green Room’s Screen Acting Fundamentals will take you from an actor who auditions for On-Camera work, to a screen actor who speaks the language of the screen, and imbues your characters with the power to more effectively land their actions in an on-camera medium.

Learn massively effective STRATEGIES to take control of your TV commercial auditions no matter what commercial structure you find yourself in.

Learn to place the STORY first in your TV & Film auditions.

If you are an advanced actor and are hesitant to take a “Level 1” class, be assured that Level 1 is by no means a “beginner” class. It is designed to take the working actor who is out there auditioning and turn them into a far more successful working actor.

This class is designed for:

The actor who’s out there and active in the on-camera industry and who wants to increase their bookings in TV/film and commercials.
The theater or improv actor - with a strong stage performance foundation who wants to transition to screen acting.
If you are a beginner without acting experience or a model moving into speaking roles, this class MIGHT STILL be right for you. The ability to be present and real in a performance before starting this class is a NECESSITY. That said, we’ve had LOADS of people new to the acting world prove to be very successful by starting out their journey in our On Camera program.

NOTE: There IS homework and often multiple self-tape submissions required each week in addition to the class meetings. Our classes are more robust and engaging than typical 8-week classes. Please be prepared for the commitment. A smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer is all that’s needed for the online portions. No further special equipment is required.

Classes will meet at 7pm CT (8pm ET, 5pm PT) on Zoom.

The length of each live class is dependent upon the number of students registered, but may go up to 2.5 hours in length.

OPTIONAL IN-STUDIO ADD-ON

You have the option to add two weeks of In-Studio training at the end of the session to make it an 8-week class.

The in-studio weeks will be on TUESDAYS at the same time as the online classes and take place the two weeks after the online classes end.
These will be a mixed group from other levels. You will do "lab" work on Commercials one week and TV the next with your direction based on the concepts we've covered in level 1. It will meet at our studio at 1915 W. Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60618.

The In-Studio weeks will build on the previous 6 lessons, deepen your ownership of the material, and provide an opportunity to experience the collaborative discoveries that can only happen when you're creating alongside fellow actors in the same room.

PLEASE register as far in advance as possible.

There IS homework that is expected to be done before the first meeting, if possible.
