Some of what Secrets of Screen Acting Masterclass covers:
This is practical workshop with lots of opportunities to get in front of the camera and put the ideas into practice. You'll get to shoot scenes, watch them back and get valuable feedback
What you'll learn:
The Truth is not your friend
Most acting techniques teach 'truth', but nothing in movies is real. Fiona will take you through a series of exercises and tutorials that will explain how screen acting is very different from stage acting and why.
Screen Acting Technique
Understand the core techniques being used by great screen actors and try them out in front of the camera. It’s all about the cheats – positions, vocal levels and reactions, with a splash of screen business!
Typecasting
Understand why it’s used, the plusses and minuses, and how to leverage it to your advantage!
Castings
If you've ever been to a casting session and not been booked, does it mean you weren't good enough? Or maybe you were taught the wrong way to approach a casting. In this session, Fiona will explain how to read and play for an audition.
*Bring a notebook and wear comfortable clothing
