Dialects are fun, but when you need one you can't do for an audition, it's already too late! Every actor needs several dialects in their "back pocket" & periodic study to sharpen more along the way. Through basic skills taught in this class, students will acquire the ability to hear and learn subtleties which distinguish one dialect from another. Penny Orloff uses listening, vocal/articulation exercises, improvisations and short monologues to develop students' ability to use British, New York, and Southern accents. Additionally, students will choose and prepare one dialect specific to characters for which they are ideally castable; ie: Hispanic, African, Middle-Eastern, Arabic, Swedish, Irish, Russian, etc. This exciting 8 wk class graduates live & on tape.

9 yrs & up

We improvise everyday of our lives, we just don't realize it, but as
actors we must be seasoned
improvisers at a very young age. This class will teach you how to improv
and how to apply it in a
"practical real world way" which will indeed sharpen your skills as
an actor. We will explore the
basics of improv thru exercises, games and scene work; learn agreement,
teamwork and trust thru
the actor's most creative expression; Improvisation!
This “workout room” will help develop the
actor’s “tool kit” with no graduation at
showcase.

Kids Presents :
A one day Parent Seminar for
on-camera Kids with
Belinda Balaski ~
"Once a parent has made the decision to help their child pursue a career in the Biz, they discover it's just the beginning of many important decisions to come. Did you know that when an agent is considering your child for representation, they are also considering whether or not they can work with you?" well said by agent Rhonda Richards. A regular day can be complex enough without auditions added to it. It takes a specially dedicated and educated parent to do it all smoothly. Our goal is to help you streamline the process of learning the “Ins & Outs” of the entertainment industry. This seminar will help protect your child (and your wallet) from common mistakes that so many parents have learned the hard way. In 1½ hours you will be completely ready and empowered to help your child succeed. Points we will cover:
Labor regulations, Training, Difference between Audition/Callback/Avail/Hold
Pictures & Resumes,
Coogan Law, Agency Protocol, Work Permits, Difference between
Agent/Manager, Contracts, Commissions
Reserve your space early as seating is limited!!! 323)650-Kids BBs4Kids@aol.com
