Fall Classes Filling Up + Self-Tape Coaching & Must-See Shows!

Hi All:

I’ve had a busy month with home improvement in the heat!

And I’m looking forward to the beautiful Fall weather and the Fall session!  Please let me know your news and if you are planning to sign up.  Both classes are filling up.

3-Fold Online Self-Tape Coaching Service

Get coaching, reading and help with being more inventive with the shot, all in one!

I’ve been doing quite a few online audition coaching sessions.  It’s really useful for actors if they’ve put in the time for their self-tape home set up.

I coach and read on Zoom while we film  on their iphones.  It’s like an Over the Shoulder shot with the laptop being my face to work off of.  In the best setups I can  see the shot on the camera so I can help with camera angles and sight lines.

Cost:  1 hour (plus my reading of the material):  $100.00 +HST
 
Here are examples provided by Lydia Cain.

Dexter: Resurrection

Dexter is back and the show is excellent!

Dexter: Original Sin

This prequel is also exciting, and the cast who play the young versions of the characters in the original series, are very believable.
