Foundations of Acting with an introduction to acting for the camera with Judy Prescott

Your teacher, Judy Prescott, her  professional acting career spans several decades in New York and Los Angeles. She has appeared in numerous American television shows, films, and stage productions. She has played dramatic roles on highly acclaimed shows like Grey’s AnatomyTrue BloodBonesSix Feet Under, and Judging Amy. She created comedic characters for popular sitcoms like RoseanneWorking GirlMurphy Brown, and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Film credits include Say AnythingIslanderBug, and Hit and Runway.

Judy’s class exercises the fundamental techniques of the craft of acting. Actors will be familiarized with the foundational building blocks of acting technique pursued by acting students in the best acting schools and studios across the globe.

This class is for relative beginners to understand, experientially, what it means to work at becoming a skilled actor. The class can also serve the advanced beginner by reworking, through exercises, the technique notions that will keep you in shape to “play the scene.”

 This class introduces you to basic “on-camera” act technique. There is a significant difference between stage work and camera work, and we will give you that perspective, and practice, early on.

We work, and play, in each class to understand experientially what it means to work at becoming a skilled actor. This class experience has been devised for actors to begin to get a hold on what process works specifically, and then, finally, above all, to be loose and playful, just jumping right in to give acting a good go on stage, and “on-camera.”

Students in this class will work on, rehearse, then present “on camera” short one-minute monologues and multiple contemporary scene selections during our weeks together-all this will be filmed with a high quality sound, and camera image.
