Venue Actors Studio’s
Acting & On-Camera For Adults
with
Annie Cerillo
Every acting teacher and/or coach has their favorite, hopefully inspirational, words of wisdom. These are a few of mine:
“It takes hard work to be an overnight success.” “Practice, practice and more practice...makes for your Personal Best”...AND...it doesn’t matter what creative “venue” you’re taking on whether it be the lead in a play, the guest star in a series, the featured role in a film or the wacky next-door neighbor with one line in a Budweiser spot...ULTIMATELY...”It’s always about the work.” Being focused and 100% committed, raising the stakes with your “reads”, learning to love all your audition challenges and being prepared for anything that comes up in this ever changing subjective business that we’ve chosen to pursue.
Here are some of the Basics I cover:
- Relaxation & Physical Warm-ups
- Concentration, listening and visualization exercises
- Exploring the Script/Sides - Breakdown
- Exploring the inner life of the Character/Role (thinking & feeling)
- Cold-Reading
- Improvisation (Film scene work)
- Comedy Improvisation
- The Monologue
- Auditioning for TV Commercials
- Auditioning for: Feature Films; TV - ½ hr. Comedy vs. 1 hr. Drama, Series Regular & Guest Star vs. Co-Star
- Create compelling characters that people love to watch
- Interview Drills
- The Callback
- The Producer’s Session
