Classes

Group Classes are held on an ongoing basis and are suitable for the beginning /intermediate actor. Meisner improvisation and cold reading technique prepare the way for scene work. Detailed text analysis and sense memory exercises (prepared in the private classes, see below) free the actor to explore deeper character portrayal. In fully mounted scenes the actor's inner life connects with the partner to create the role.

Private Classes bring the group work into a private setting that allows for a more personal approach. Individual needs are addressed and explored through method based sensory exercises. Scenes and sometimes entire plays are analyzed in order to produce monologues that are powerful representations of the actors' work.

Private Classes are available for Voice and Speech. Curriculum includes accent reduction, projection, breathing and vocal expression.

Audition Coaching prepares you to get the job. Whether you are auditioning for sitcoms, soap operas, commercials, film or theater, the methods are the same. Caroline specializes in helping actors to make the strongest choices while under pressure.

Seminars in Voice and Speech are held seasonally. Call for upcoming dates.

Private Classes and Audition Coaching for Teens are available.
