Film & Television Workshop For Actors

5 Days of Individualized Attention & Group Collaboration

May 30-June 3, 2025 | Los Angeles, CA

Limited Spots Available

Workshop Overview

5 Days of Specialized Individual Attention & Group Collaboration Using Text, Receiving Analysis, and Acquiring Skills to Deeply Embody Your Character.

Portrait of a man smiling, with a hand on his head, and a quote about acting from Kawaoka Coaching. The quote discusses having the inner potential to be a great actor and the importance of learning the right tools to focus one's craft.

Actors will work with text and leave with a clear understanding of the writer's and creative team's intentions and expectations, as well as a clear-cut preparation process that drops the actor into the character and the world around them.

This approach will apply to all mediums, including, of course, our focus on film and television and the self-tape.  

Habitual vocal and physical blockages that keep the actor from truly having access to their craft will be addressed through mVm approaches.
