Film & Television Workshop For Actors
5 Days of Individualized Attention & Group Collaboration
January 17-21, 2026 | Los Angeles, CA
Workshop Overview
5 Days of Specialized Individual Attention & Group Collaboration Learning to Deeply Embody Your Character On-Camera
Through script analysis and voice work, actors will learn how to breathe and live in given circumstances and relationships while working across a multitude of film and television genres.
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.
Habitual vocal and physical blockages that keep the actor from truly having access to their craft will be addressed through mVm approaches.
Workshop Details:
When: Saturday, January 17th to Wednesday, January 21st, 2026 from 10am - 6pm PT daily (5 days total)
