Intro Classes: Camera Basics
What The Camera Sees. Commercial auditions and most early-stage auditions at the professional level (Actor, 1-2 Lines) only require this basic camera technique (mark, frame, eyeline, slate) and that the actor come across as "honest". After the 2.5hr Intro class students will be ready to audition for commercials, and will have set the foundation for the skills they will need to audition for film and television roles.

Level 1 Classes: Actor + Level 2 Classes: Principal
Level 1: How To Tell A Story On Camera. Students build on the foundation of camera technique learned in the Intro class and begin working to master short scenes (Actor, 1-2 Lines, Principal, 3-6 Lines). In many ways short scenes are more difficult because they require consistent application of camera and acting skills to tell a meaningful story in a short period of time. It will generally take one to three semesters to develop a professional competency with Level One skills.

New students should email info@bizstudio.ca with links to previous work, or to arrange a video audition. It will generally take between two and five semesters to develop a professional competency with Level Two skills.
