Improv games and other onCamera acting techniques will be implemented to help instill in the young actor a sense of freedom and spontaneity in front of the camera.  Each actor will have the opportunity to read audition material onCamera and hear Jenn’s specific feedback and re-direction.  Jenn will also replay the performances on a flat-panel monitor in glorious high definition, and give MORE feedback!

Both the the 1-day and 2-day intensive workshops deliver the training and preparation that young adults, teens and kids will find invaluable when they audition at a casting session.
