Every class is on-camera, and every actor works on camera, every class. "Observing is fine, but only by doing can you master a craft."

Learn how to break down a "side" quickly and efficiently, and give a PERFORMANCE, not just a reading. Overcome personal obstacles and increase your chance to turn an interview into a job. Acting for Film - Head, Heart & Heels Film acting is oceans apart from acting for the stage.

Acting for the Sit-Com Timing, Timing, Timing… Acting for the Sit-Com is much different than acting for Feature Films or Episodic Television. You must know the responsibilities of the Series Regular versus the Guest Star versus the Day Player. Learn how to recognize the jokes, how to set them up and how to pay them off. Timing and Pace are essential in Sit-Coms, and to succeed in this lucrative and exciting medium, actors must master them both. Ms. Franklin's extensive experience in Sit-Coms, both in front of the camera and behind it as a dialogue coach, makes this an exciting and rewarding class.

Propel the scene, don't steal it! Actors will work on roles ranging from Day Player to Guest Star to Series Regular. The similarities and differences of each of these categories will be covered so you can develop the technique to fit into whatever role you're cast.
