BASIC COURSE
On Camera Training's basic course is presented in 4 weekly, 3 hour sessions. Sessions are held evenings and weekends for your convenience. Classes are limited to eight participants to allow individual instruction. Each participant will work on camera every week.
The course will give you experience working on-camera solo or with a partner, audition improvisation skills, and, most importantly, the ability to be comfortable on camera, even when you're not speaking. You'll be given practical skills necessary to prepare yourself for the audition and for the job, as well as wardrobe and image advice and tips on marketing yourself, consistent with the unique demands of the Washington/Baltimore area. As an actor, you are your own product. Shouldn't you do everything possible to assure that your product is competitive in the market place?
As a bonus, there is a 15 minute phone follow up on "your next step" in the industry. This offer is valid after the class is completed.
The cost for the four-week basic course is $400, with a down payment of $100 payable in advance. Ask about SAG/AFTRA, AEA, UMD students and Theatre Lab discounts.

MASTER CLASS
The Master Class is offered to graduates of the four-week Basic course, or to people already working on-camera who want to improve their skills. The training intensifies and expands on the basic training, with special emphasis on the improvisation and visualization skills necessary for successful auditions. The goal is to help the actor gain confidence in creating the moment before he or she speaks or performs an action in an audition, and to improve the visualization necessary to make an audition completely believable and real.
On Camera Training's Master Class is held Monday evenings for your convenience. Classes are limited to ten participants to allow individual instruction. Each participant will work on camera every week.
The cost for the four-week master class is $300, with a $25 deposit required.
Upcoming Classes:

ON-CAMERA NARRATION CLASS
The concentration of the Narration Class is to teach or improve the narration and professional presentation skills necessary for the direct-to-camera delivery that successful narration/spokespersons require. Training for this “conversation with a camera” is tailored very specifically to each individual in class, and is offered to those people with on-camera experience who want to sharpen the very valuable narration skill. Professional dress is recommended for this class, and previous on-camera experience or the 6-week is required.
A local casting director will be attending the last class.
The cost for the 4-week class is $300.
Upcoming Classes:
Mondays:
April 16 - May 7, 2012 from 7:30 pm. to 10:00 p.m.
TELEPROMPTER CLASS
Teleprompter class will give you an opportunity to work with a state-of-the-art "over the lens" teleprompter in a studio setting. The goal is for the student to gain comfort and to appear completely relaxed and spontaneous while actually reading a script on-camera. It has been said, "If you can read, you can use a Teleprompter." However, our aim is to have you look completely natural and relaxed doing it. This skill is valuable not only to actors and narrators, but to corporate presenters, as well. Corporate dress is recommended for this class.
The cost for the one-day class is $150. Ask about SAG/AFTRA, AEA, UMD students and Theatre Lab discounts.
Upcoming Classes:
Sunday:February 19, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
April 15, 2012 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
EAR PROMPTER CLASS
The Ear-Prompter course is a small class devoted to hands-on learning of Ear-Prompter techniques and equipment, a system invaluable for situations where a Teleprompter is unavailable, whether you are delivering a narration, making a speech, or doing a "trade-show" presentation. The student records scripts and performs them in a real situation, but without the pressure of being on-camera. You will learn about equipment and techniques for practicing on your own, so you can become comfortable using an Ear-Prompter before marketing yourself as proficient in this skill. During the last hour of the class, students will be put on-camera to have a look at their progress and comfort with this new skill. Class size is limited to 4, dress comfortably.
The cost for this one-day class is $200. ACTOR CENTER MEMBERS RECEIVE A 10 PERCENT DISCOUNT ON EARPROMPTER CLASSES.
Upcoming Classes:
Sunday:
January 22, 2012 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
On Camera Training classes are cancelled if local area schools, businesses and government agencies are also closed.
