Still time to register for a September/October acting workshop at Sears & Switzer: Sears & Switzer September-December 2014 workshop listings: “Acting classes that work, for actors who want to work…” You can always get updates on class dates, times and workshop availability on the website at searsandswitzer. ACTING FUNDAMENTALS: This basic skills class is a great class for beginners, or for people who are moving into acting from another kind of performance. Also we recommend this class for actors with some real-world experience like student film, music, modeling, stunt, background, or community theatre, but no formal actor training. Our high-energy, fast-moving participation workshop will also prepare you for more advanced workshops. THURSDAY NIGHTS Sept. 25th-Oct. 16th or Nov. 13th to Dec. 4th 7:30-10:00 PM, $225.00+ HST = $254.25 TV COMMERCIAL WEEKEND: This is the workshop that lots of agents call “their secret weapon.” The class will make a huge difference in how you audition for TV Commercial work. Any performer who is in that market should do this class! We take you through every type of test audition and give specific, highly targeted exercises to improve your commercial hit rate. It is also a powerful introduction to any on-camera work. SAT/SUN Sept. 27th-28th or Nov. 29th-30th 10:00-5:00 $295.00+ HST = $333.35 AUDITION SKILLS WEEKEND: We cover most kinds of audition [except the TV Commercial process] in this intense immersion-style workshop. This is the workshop for people who want to improve their cold-reading skill and audition techniques for film, theatre and TV roles. Actors should have some auditioning experience or basic actor training to get the most out of this class. We put a lot of emphasis on how to prepare and then how to win! SAT/SUN Oct. 18th-19th 10:00-5:00 $295.00+ HST = $333.35 THE PLAY’S THE THING [SCENE STUDY]: THE PLAY’S THE THING uses scene study as the basic training experience for actors moving beyond beginner level. It’s also a great choice for other actors who want to focus more on scene and text interpretation skills. Learn how to break down a scene more effectively. Work on a wide variety of challenging scenes by the world’s most exciting playwrights. It’s a great way to move up the experience ladder.

It’s the place for actors to make the transition from actor-training or theatre experience into the working world of film in the Canadian industry. Also, it’s the place for experienced performers to get to know us and our very powerful on-camera approach. You can be confident that you will cover the basics and then go beyond. Each actor gets a variety of on-camera scenes recorded on DVD.

We go over winning approaches to radio, TV voice-over and animation work, from the audition to the studio session. This workshop is also a highly efficient way for actors to focus on voice and develop fresh ways to make an impact.
