The Bad Actor
Have you gone to set completely prepared, memorized, script analyzed and ready to show how hard you worked on your character ONLY to have it debunked by a bad scene partner? Were they not memorized? Going off script? Skipping lines? Overacting? Not "matching" your energy? Hate to break it to you, but YOU’RE THE BAD ACTOR. It’s time to stop playing the blame game and instead learn how to navigate these challenges and WANT to make your partner look like Daniel Day Lewis!
We’ll Work On:
• Personalized Scene Assignments:
You’ll receive sides selected specifically for your experience level and resume, giving you a tailored challenge to self-tape and submit before class.
• Tape Review + Live Adjustments:
In the first half of class, we’ll break down your self-tape, discuss your choices, and then run the scene live as I throw intentional “wrenches” your way—mirroring the curveballs casting and directors send in real sessions.
• Cold Reads Under Pressure:
In the second half, we’ll dive into cold reads using intentionally messy or poorly written scripts. Each pair will be given unexpected obstacles designed to throw you off your game… and train you to stay grounded, connected, and adaptable no matter what’s happening around you.
