Students will learn Scott’s specific and effective approach to acting on camera, developed over the last 30 years. Scott has been hired by studios to coach hundreds of actors (and celebrities like Jason Momoa, Pat Morita, Brooke Burns, Steve Allen, Jayne Meadows, Charles Grodin, and many others), for literally thousands of hours, on the sets of national television series and major motion pictures. 

Scott has developed a technique that uses parts of the Meisner Technique and Method Acting, in addition to effective tools Scott has found, from several other techniques, to help an actor adapt to, and exploit, the unique technical demands of working on camera(s) and focus on creating real, in-depth emotions on-demand, while keeping it conversational and spontaneous for every take. Actors will learn the varied demands of working in different size shots and how that affects your performance. Students work on spontaneity, active listening, making and committing to choices, and reliably triggering real emotions.

Audit Policy

Our Audit policy is relatively simple – We don’t allow audits. Ever.  Period.  The reason we don’t allow audits is because when people are watching class – even just one person – the feeling in class changes. It changes from a place where actors feel safe to try things they are not good at (yet), into a place where they are ‘performing’ and being watched.  This is not what (our) classes are for.  Class is the place you go to fail.  It’s the place you go to work on things you’re NOT yet good at; in order to expand your comfort zone.  And everyone else in class is trying things, experimenting, and risking humiliation too. That is why we NEVER allow people to come and watch class.  We hope you understand.
