improv & sketch comedy in hawaii
DON’T MAKE IT WEIRD: self-tapes are the new normal. It’s time to get comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. ‘Cause believe it or not – ACTING IS FUN!
In this class, students will be given a short audition script to work on in front of the camera, learn how to set up at home, interact with a reader as well as be the reader, and walk away with even more confidence in their work.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking to brush up on your next guest star or a brand new actor trying to land that first agent (or even just a person who is bored and wants to try a new thing), this class is your next step!
