Ongoing Scene Study with Hans Potter

This course is where acting becomes a reality. Classes involve being assigned a scene partner, then learning and developing a scene over a period of 4 weeks. Each week the instructor will focus on different aspects of the scene in providing valuable feedback. This process is repeated for the next 4 weeks.

Students learn script analysis techniques, emotional prep, blocking, business, story analysis, use of voice and dialogue exercises to help actors learn to breakdown scenes on their own and achieve a higher level of believability in their acting.

Hans is also a dialect coach and he encourages students to try to incorporate any accents they may be working on into their characters for additional feedback and development in this area of their acting as well.

Actors looking to take part in these classes are required to attend regularly and be well prepared for class, so dedication is expected as is previous on camera acting experience and fluency in English.
