The Acting Gym NEW YORK CITY Professional Acting Class for Adults (Ages 18+)
For those professionals that are looking to brush up on on-camera and auditioning skills. Our classes are a gathering centered on a safe space to explore our craft and build a supportive community of working professionals. Led by Brian J. Carter, the focus of the audition sides/scene work is on bringing to every character one’s own identity and inner truth, on breaking away from how you think the scene is meant to be played and finding the spontaneity of genuinely being in the moment; and on grounding oneself in authenticity and truth.
It’s not enough to just be the most talented actor but the smartest in the room. Each gathering is also used to share real-world experience and knowledge of the business of acting and how we can affect positive change in the increasingly shifting landscape.
