OVERVIEW
Master on-camera acting techniques weekly through scene work, monologues, and personalized exercises. Get in front of the camera for valuable critique and learn the mechanics of on-camera acting and the basics of the biz.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This class will cover all aspects of on-camera acting in specific lessons. Exercises will include hitting marks, continuity, eyeline, adjusting performance for a shot, and many more. The procedures of acting in a major film will also be covered, from the time the actor is cast through wrap.
Call sheets, contracts, pre-call expectations, the hierarchy of the set, how to read one-liner, Day out of Days schedules, and more will be covered. Most importantly, students will be filmed in several on-set scenarios in an active and upbeat classroom setting. Playback will be evaluated each week in class, followed by constructive critique from Neidel. The class is open to beginning or advanced actors aged 17 and up.

She has appeared in the Tom McCarthy film STILLWATER, opposite Matt Damon and 13 MINUTES, in scenes with Paz Vega and Thora Birch. She has recently filmed a role in a Tyler Perry pilot in Atlanta, and she just wrapped THE COMIC SHOP in Las Vegas with Jesse Metcalf and Carrot Top.
