Description

Specialties

Students, of ALL ages, are given the overall structure at the beginning of each on-​going eight week session of classes and trained in the consistent application of the First Take Method. A technique that provides students a set of unique tools to dissect the few pages of material that would usually be given to them in an audition situation and make it come to life realistically and believably. This unique approach has contributed to the consistency, depth, and complexity of students’ work. This helps elevate students to compete in the L.A. market.
