Charlie very rarely teaches children’s classes at the Mosaic Acting Academy. Lately though, he’s received many calls and e-mails from parents saying they’ve wasted sometimes thousands of dollars on worthless classes and pictures, and requesting some sort of kids class. There are lots of “sharks in the water,” claiming they can “make your child a star . . . all they need is to take this class, or have these pictures done, etc.” Others claim to offer professional training, but have never worked as professional actors themselves. With that in mind, we are offering the following class for kids 8 -12 years old. THE *MOSAIC ACTING ACADEMY PRESENTS
(*Voted Sacramento’s Outstanding Training Resource for Actors)
ACTING ON CAMERA FOR KIDS
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
TUESDAYS, AUGUST 9th - 30th
At the Mosaic Acting Studio in Ranch Cordova
(Directions provided upon enrollment)
This entertaining and informative series will include:
Week 1 - Improvisation This is one of the two most important skills an actor of any age must learn. It helps the student to relax, learn to think quickly, and adapt rapidly to new directions. And it’s just plain fun!!
Week 2 - Auditioning for Commercials The commercial audition is very different from others. Commercials are the quickest way to get started, and offer the most opportunities for young actors. The kids will learn how to slate properly, interpret copy, use cue cards and much more.
Week 3 - Auditioning for Movies and TV Again, the Movie/TV audition is different than the commercial audition and very different than the stage audition. Unlike Theater auditions, which often request monologues, Movie and TV auditions don't generally use prepared memorized material. In this part of the class, the kids will learn the proper slate, how to interpret copy, and create a character for the audition.
Week 4 - Scene Work Students will learn to use facets of the Mosaic Acting System to perform a short scene on-camera with another student, and learn about different camera angles, eye-lines, sizes of shots, and much more.
A break with snacks for the kids will also be provided during each class, as well as a "Wrap Party" at the end of the course. .
These interesting and entertaining classes are geared for youngsters from 8 through 12 years of age. So that each child will receive plenty of time on camera, enrollment is limited to a maximum of ten participants. The tuition also includes a counseling session with the student's parents addressing such topics as choosing the right pictures, obtaining work permits, selecting an agent, avoiding scams, and more.Tuition is $200.
