At Palm Beach Acting School we take the position that everyone holds the key to his or her own success. The goal of the artist is to supply truthful feelings under given circumstances, and to translate dialogue into behavior and action. Acting is the art of self realization. The degree at which the actor will be successful is directly related to the degree at which he or she can make up meaningful situations that touch the heart. Acting is spontaneous and instinctual; connecting with your partner, and living truthfully under the imaginary circumstances, moment to unanticipated moment. Acting is expressing exactly how you feel during each and every moment. Acting is not how you say the lines; it is how you behave emotionally while saying them. Everyone learns at his or her own pace, and there is no time limit involved. Students who work with this much acting intensity are usually very supportive of each other. Rehearsals with classmates between classes are mandatory if you plan to become a professional actor. Talented people are immediately drawn towards this type of acting awareness. The training requires discipline, and hard work, and the actors have true experiences with real emotions. The program at Palm Beach Acting School guarantees that if you put in the time you will learn to act to the very best of your ability! This is how most professional actors work. Students who have trained this way stand head and shoulders above the rest!! People who see your work do so for the theatrical experience. They will remember how you made them feel! This technique will take you well beyond the usual LINE READINGS that most instructors teach! Serious students only please! Students should attend this meetup to learn the following! LISTENING - and remain connected by working spontaneously moment to moment. NOTICE YOUR PARTNER - by being a detective of the other person's behavior. PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW - To give your true gut response, or say nothing. THE REALITY OF DOING - Simple human truth always works best! Always have a strong emotional reason for doing what you do! EMOTIONAL PREPARATION - A self stimulation of your emotions. BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP - you must always know who, what, when, where & why ... but never how you will act! SCENES - why it is never just about the words on the page! Always pick material based on how it makes you feel emotionally. IMPROVISATIONS TOWARDS THE SCENE...NOT IMPROV! FANTASIES - Live out your dreams & desires on an emotional level. To end up someplace you have never been before. Like rising up out of the ashes and saving the world! SPECIFIC ACTING WORKSHOPS Cold reading Audition techniques Script analysis SPEECHES - ("monologues") - What separates the amateur from the professional! ...and if you can do these, you can do anything! ...AND WHY IT'S CALLED, "SHOW BUSINESS"!
