OVERVIEW
A deep dive into comic performance, actors will learn to find comedic options, even when not clearly on the page. This class isn't about "being funny", but rather "finding the funny" quickly and with confidence. Open minds to finding freedom on set, taking pressure off, and having fun!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Josh believes that anyone, including the hard-noses who say they are not funny at all, can be funny. Anyone! It's all a matter of loosening up, not caring, and not being afraid to fail. He has designed this class to help actors unlock their blocks and let go. It will be a fun, relaxed, hilarious two hours each week.
In different scenes and exercises, Josh will gently nudge and encourage actors to let go, trust themselves and find success in failure.
"I want people to fail. I encourage it. Failing is good. Having the courage to get up and fail is what helps actors get funnier," he said.
Josh Fadem has made a career of being funny in front of the camera, and he knows the importance of honing comedic skills. He studied at length at the legendary The Groundlings in Los Angeles. He moved to UCB to hone his improv skills, and he was a regular performer of sketch and improv. He also has been a stand-up comedian for over 20 years. He has played funny characters in comedies and has been comic relief in dramas. Being able to tap into his freedom to be creative on set has created booking opportunities for decades.
