Program Details, Schedule, and More!
The Working Actor Masterclass is a four-day immersion designed to take you from “hoping it all clicks” to “I know exactly how to approach my work, the camera, and my career.” We move quickly but intentionally, blending technique, rehearsal, and on-camera practice so that every session builds toward something real. Whether you’re newer to the craft or seasoned and refining your process, this weekend gives you a clear, repeatable roadmap for how to prepare, rehearse, and perform — one you can take with you into every audition, callback, class, and set.
Across the weekend, you’ll train the way working actors actually train: embodied, specific, collaborative, and grounded in the story. You’ll strengthen your voice and movement work so you can stay present under pressure, deepen your listening and partner connection, and learn how to adjust to the lens with precision. Our script analysis process ensures you’re making bold, playable choices quickly instead of drowning in overthinking, and every rehearsal block is structured to help you explore, refine, and trust your instincts. Add in two guest instructors and genre-specific sessions, and you’re getting a full spectrum toolkit of practical skills.
Everything leads to filming day — a professional-style set where you’ll run your scene with multiple takes, playback, adjustments, and support every step of the way. The goal isn’t just to give you polished footage (though you’ll get that) — it’s to teach you how to work on set without freezing, shrinking, or losing your truth. By the end of the masterclass, you’ll walk away with footage you’re proud of, a process you understand, a community that has your back, and a clearer path forward in the industry. This weekend is intense, joyful, challenging, and transformative — and you’ll feel the shift long after it’s over.
