Through The Lens: Casting WAITLISTED
On-Camera Acting with Casting Director Alexa Pereira
Service Description
Work the role from both sides of the camera. In this six-week on-camera acting class, Emmy-nominated and Artios Award-winning casting director Alexa Pereira brings the perspective of the casting room directly into the rehearsal process. You’ll work on Film and TV material with an emphasis on making specific, grounded acting choices while exploring how those choices read through the lens of casting. Working with sides and scripts across a range of roles, from co-star and guest star to series regular, you’ll dig into script analysis, character, tone, and the adjustments that can make a performance more specific and compelling. You’ll also explore how the work shifts across different formats and styles, including single-camera, multi-camera, and Disney-style television. Throughout the course, you’ll: • Work on Film and TV sides across co-star, guest star, and series regular roles. • Strengthen script analysis and make more specific choices on camera. • Explore the differences in tone, rhythm, and performance across television formats. • Receive individualized coaching and adjustments from a working casting director. • Develop greater confidence adapting your work to different roles, genres, and material. This is an acting class through the lens of casting: six weeks to dig into the work, take risks, make adjustments, and better understand how your choices translate on camera.
