parent testimonials review arts effect best acting school kids children youth nyc new york city theater

"Our kids had such an incredible year with the Arts Effects! Aside from their being able to walk in weekly to a fun, loving, and supportive environment, they booked four projects between the two ofthem and made major impressions on directors in many more. The fact that your program focuses on the actors ability to be in the moment and deliver a completely natural performance is no doubt a majorfactor in their success!"
--Eva Kotch, Arts Effect Parent

Students will focus on the advancement of their acting technique and skill set. Through the exploration of sensory work, improvisation, character/scene study, text analysis, and more, participants will learn to achieve rich, natural, and honest acting perfect for stage or film.
STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE:

  • Technique Strengthening: Go beyond pretending and role-playing and actually experience REAL LIFE on stage or screen. Our Method-based technique centers on bringing the actor’s own life experience and understanding to character and scene work.

  • Improvisation: Improv is becoming very common in the audition room and on set. The fast-paced, quick-thinking nature of improvisation is key to bringing naturalism and realism to any actor’s work.

  • Character Development: The secret to quickly uncovering the W’s of any and every character!

  • Scene Study: Understand the structure, relationship, objectives, and conflicts of your script and/or audition sides. Learn to work with other actors, listen and respond, and exist in the moment!
    Script Analysis (including subtext and logic work): Discover what’s simmering under the lines and hiding in every moment.

  • Monologue Preparation: Let us help you find and perfect your monologue.

  • Audition Preparation: Important, helpful, and fun auditioning tips to prepare young professionals for cold readings, advanced audition sides, and interview questions.

  • Cold Reading: This most intimidating audition practice will be debunked!
