These small-group (max 6 students) in-person classes are for teens ages 13-17 who are serious about learning to audition and work on set. In all Biz Studio classes, instructors choose scenes individually for each student, and students have the opportunity to give input on the kind of material they want to work on. Unlike other acting schools, students work in Biz classes is done on camera using actual scripts from professional film and television auditions. It’s important to us to run very small classes, so we can support (and challenge) each student appropriately. Although many working actors take our classes, no experience is needed to join, only a willingness to learn, practice and play.

FUNDAMENTALS OF ACTING ON CAMERA CLASS: Students learn and practice the on-camera technique and acting skills needed for auditions and working on-set. Students can expect to work on progressively challenging Film & TV scenes in a variety of styles. Students get a lot of individual focus, support, and feedback, and receive weekly videos of how their on-camera skills are progressing.

PROFESSIONAL AUDITION CLASS: For experienced students who have mastered the fundamentals and are ready to dive deeper into script analysis, complex characters, and nuanced performances. Admission is by Biz instructor referral or audition only. Students can expect to work on progressively challenging Film & TV scenes in a variety of styles. Students get a lot of individual focus, support, and feedback, and receive weekly videos of how their on-camera skills are progressing.

1 DAY INTRO BOOTCAMP: For students new to Biz, a crash course in the way that we approach acting on camera. Class will be a mix of on-camera exercises and script work, and will cover acting and audition techniques for commercials, film and television. A helpful overview for students new to on-camera work, and a useful primer for students new to Biz.

BIZ STUDIO has a twenty-five year track record of helping students make their dream of working professionally in film and television a reality.
