+ WORKSHOP FORMAT
As an actor, you always want to do your best. Yet the average time given to line run and block a scene for television is only 10 minutes. The first time most actors meet their director on a TV series is on set. How can you maximise that brief rehearsal time to find your best performance? Emma shows you how to prepare and what to expect, how to really connect with the director and cast and, most importantly, enjoy the whole experience! Working with pre -delivered scenes, you will prepare, discuss and rehearse them with Emma before shooting on camera live and receiving individual feedback.
We will cover: preparation vs adapting on the day; how and when to ask the right questions toget what you need; understanding the tone and style of the show or film you’re in; how to interpret director’s performance notes between takes; and balancing technical requests from director and crew with your throughline as a character. We will also discuss how to deliver a strong self-tape. Emma’s aim is to make you feel welcome from the moment you’re cast to the moment you say goodbye on wrap. The more relaxed you are, the better your performance will be and the more confident you’ll be in every film you collaborate on.Honing your on-screen technique is the best way to achieve it.
Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!
