This camp is perfect for the aspiring young actors in your household. Campers will be taught real auditioning skills by working with scripts for commercials and film readings. Your child will work on how to personalize characters and follow direction, block for camera and read with their co-stars.

Voice over will also be introduced. Improvisation and ad-libbing (off the script) will be taught as a basis of making acting choices and trusting their instincts. Included in this camp is a take-home tutorial showing you ways to find legitimate acting jobs as well as a list of local talent agencies.

After camp, all footage is sent to a professional editor that will be uploaded to a private YouTube channel. It may take up to 3 months of editing before the download link is sent out to participants.
