The Actor’s Lens – Overview
Step into a class where individuality is celebrated, and your choices matter.
The Actor’s Lens is designed to give actors both insight and practical training for film and television. These intimate, focused programs sharpen your on-camera technique while deepening emotional connection to the work. Each week, you receive hand-picked material tailored to your strengths, growth areas, and artistic goals. With a full week to prepare, you break down the scene, uncover its emotional core, and explore bold, truthful choices. In class, I work individually with each actor, offering precise adjustments that nurture your instincts and support growth technically, emotionally, and artistically.
Classes are primarily online, making them accessible for actors around the world, though some sessions are offered in person. Each class is recorded, and your scene work is sent to you weekly for review and continued development.
Classes are offered in ongoing weekly sessions.
