Welcome to On Camera Training, I'm Brenna McDonough; professional actor, author and teacher.
Since 1994 students have come to On Camera Training to learn the techniques required for a successful career in acting and on-camera presentations. Our classes are for actors, models, politicians, lawyers, doctors, stay-at-home parents or anyone else who wants to prepare themselves to be in front of a camera in a good, safe, quality environment.
The goal of this class is to cover 2- 3 scenes over 6 weeks. After the first class I will assign scenes and scene partners. You will be required to meet at least once a week with your partner (FaceTime, Zoom, Google or in person) in order to work on your scene and determine Circumstance, Relationship and Point of View for your scene. Which we will discuss during class. We will begin each class with a non-verbal improv and vocal/body movement. Throughout the 6 weeks we will move from comedy scenes to more dramatic work according to the best fit for the actor. In the event your partner isn’t available, have a monologue ready to work on in class. Students will receive a PDF copy of my book You Can Work On-Camera after week 1.
Tuesdays, July 22 - August 26, 7 - 10 PM
Cost is $390. Classes are held in person at Theatre Lab.
