The Stonestreet Film & Television Acting Workshop I is an intensive semester covering film and television training from the audition process to performance and production. All areas of film & tv acting are covered: film (dramatic and comedic), dramatic series, sit coms, soap operas , commercials, vocal and physical work as it applies to film acting. Classes include: Film Acting Technique & Production, Soap Operas: From Audition to Tape, Sit-Coms, Dramatic Series, commercials & the Business, Career Management, Intensive Audition Technique and Showcase class with Stonestreet’s teachers and major agents and casting directors preps and exposes students to the professional world on a weekly basis. Students train in the environment of Stonestreet’s 4,000 square foot film & television studio which includes full production and post-production facilities (including nonlinear editing systems). Students learn the unique demands of the camera, film and television scripts, and set work. Students work on a variety of material from original unproduced film & tv material to film classics to adaptations of modern classic and classical material. Stonestreet students learn to become professional auditioners and self-sufficient creative actors who can do both naturalism and character work that are both believable and interesting on camera. Students adapt and apply their previously learned techniques to film & television material as well as learn where film acting departs from what can be done on the stage. Stonestreet schedules, working alumni, course descriptions and faculty bios can be seen at www.stonestreetstudios.com. Stonestreet student work culminates in production experience encouraging students to adapt and fill out what they’ve previously learned and make the leap to performance level connecting with both the magical (and sometimes technical) world of filmmaking, the camera and the audience. Stonestreet’s student film projects, scenes, commercials and pilots can be seen at www.electricmovies.com under “featured films”, “student work” and “commercials”. Students are encouraged to take Stonestreet Film & Television II to experience full blown film production from the top of the semester, voice-overs, and advanced audition and showcase.
