Method Acting is the perfect technique to learn over Zoom! It is also the most misunderstood acting technique in the world. Much of what you read on the internet about it is WRONG. You hear the phrase “very Method” used often to describe an actors performance – usually when they’re overacting or throwing tantrums on set or “living as the character” off-camera too. In reality, none of these things have anything to do with the Method. Nothing. Method Acting has been called everything from “brilliant” to “dangerous” (and I believe it can be both)…

BUT, there’s a reason that it’s still one of the most frequently used techniques in Hollywood.

And, that the ranks of Method trained actors include the most dynamic actors of our time: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchette, Marlon Brando, Adrien Brody, Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain, Glenn Close, Bradley Cooper, Daniel Day-Lewis, James Dean, Robert De Niro, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jane Fonda, Hilary Swank, Tom Hanks, Ed Harris, Anne Hathaway, Dustin Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Matthew McConaughey, Marilyn Monroe, Jack Nicholson, Gary Oldman, Al Pacino, Joaquin Phoenix, Meryl Streep, Christoph Waltz, etc…

This class will teach you to use some of the techniques of Method Acting, in your work, to help you feel the required emotion, reliably, take after take, WITHOUT THE NEED OF OTHER ACTORS and more powerfully than any technique you’ve ever used. Nothing works as well when shooting the Close-up. We’ll use Lecture, Q&A, and exercises during this course.

A few of the actors coached by Scott include:
