The Actor Factory' newest instructor knows comedy. He's made a career of it, in fact, playing the funny guy in over 150 film and television productions, including being comic relief in several dramas. He believes everyone can be funny. Including those who swear they aren't.
​
This class will be a deep-dive into comedy characters, comic delivery and comedy performance. He will work with actors to mine scripts for comedic options, even when not clearly on the page. He will open minds to finding freedom on set, taking the pressure off, and most importantly, having fun!
​
This class isn't about "being funny", but rather "finding the funny" quickly and with confidence. Actors with comic skills book jobs. Take it from Josh.
​
IMPROV FOR ACTORS
​
Wednesdays, 7:30-9:30 pm
$250 for 6-week class
14-Student Limit, Ages 18+
Returning this fall.
Let's face it. The better you are at improvisation, the more free you are to create on set, and the better film and stage actor you will be.
​
This is not a comedy class. This class is designed for the on-camera actor, encouraging free thinking and creativity on set and in the audition room. What happens when the director doesn't say cut? Or asks you to "just go with it" or "use your own words" or says "let's see what happens after what's written"?
​
This amazing class, led by a wildly beloved, gentle and supportive instructor, will give you the power and confidence you need.
