Hello Everybody,
Just wanted you to know about an acting class I’m teaching here in Thousand Oaks, California.
Talk soon,
Maggie Egan-Cummings
The BizKidz is proud and honored to introduce the tremendously talented star of TV, Film, and Theatre, MAGGIE EGAN-CUMMINGS to teach our Brand New Class… THE ACTORS’ WORKOUT GROUP
Do you ever dream about becoming an amazing actor? This class will help support you in that dream, because becoming an admired actor is achievable! In our ongoing Actors’ Workout Group, we’ll be incorporating important improv techniques at the beginning of each class, then go to work on scene study and complete character development. You’ll learn how to prepare all your characters by understanding the material, making strong committed choices and carrying them out. Using scripts, scenes, and monologues, you’ll learn how to identify and solve any acting problems, plus how to break down a script quickly and thoroughly.
Whether your primary focus is stage, TV, film, or just for fun, Maggie will guide you gently, but clearly in becoming a real actor. You’ll learn core-acting techniques, such as using action verbs to score your script, improvising to relax you and help you find the true character, plus, what to do if you feel nervous before an audition or a performance. These techniques will allow you to become your own best director. You’ll develop your confidence so that when you audition, you’ll go into a casting session as a professional actor. With consistent coaching and practice you will learn what it is that makes acting look easy and believable!!
THE ACTORS’ WORKOUT GROUP
lead by 30-Year Veteran Actress of TV, Film & Stage Maggie Egan-Cummings“One of the most important moments in my life is when I sat in my teacher, Chris Wilson’s, acting class and she asked, “How many of you here really want a career in acting?” It took everything in me to raise my hand to admit out loud that, yes, I wanted a career in acting. Up until that point no one had ever cared enough to ask me if that is what I wanted. I want to be that person for my students. I want to let them know that I believe in them and that, yes, they too can have a career as an actor. I still work as an actor and I still take classes myself. It makes me so happy to pass my knowledge and training on to my students so that they can go into their auditions feeling confident and enjoy a successful career.”
