Classes

CLASS 1: PRIVATE, ONE ON ONE, SELF TAPE STUDY 

 *CURRENTLY ON-GOING*

This class is for actors, both young and old who want to succeed in today's audition world! The self tape is the new first round of auditioning and it's here to stay.  This class will focus on the dos and don'ts of self taping and teach you the skills to get to the next level, the call back.  THE BEST PART OF THIS CLASS IS YOU GET ACTUAL FEEDBACK.  You do the tape and send it in and it doesn't go into an unresponsive abyss. You will get feedback on how to improve your audition directly from a Casting Director.  Learn what you are doing right and wrong, how to make choices to make your scene and character stand out.  MAKE YOUR ROLE MEMORABLE.

Classes are four weeks and start the first Monday of every month. Each Monday you will get a new scene and we will focus on the specific choices that will make this scene stand out from the rest. The scenes are big and memorization is the key.  You will discuss the scene with Coach Dean and then send it in via we transfer.  You then get notes for a call back scenario and speak with Coach Dean again.  We will focus on what you need to do to get the call back!!! These classes will build your confidence and enlighten you on what casting directors are really looking for in today's self taping world!

 

*NEW* CLASS 2: FOUR WEEK MONTHLY ZOOM CLASS

*Adult Classes available Starting Wednesday September 4 2024 starting at 7pm and last no more than 3 hours.

Dean Fronk Four week Actor Intensive- the intensive will focus on auditioning and self taping in today's acting environment, the dos and don'ts of self taping and building confidence in making big choices and standing out in an audition- be prepared to work! This is a GROUP CLASS that meets every week in zoom prior to the week's work. You will learn about the choices that make an actor stand out.

Week 1
an introduction to auditioning - we will discuss "Coach Dean's" audition process in 2024- doing Q & A at the beginning and then cold reads selected by Dean and pairing actors up- don't worry we know it's a "cold" read - all scenes are from movies Dean has cast and you will get a re-direct- make sure to go to his imdb and check out the number of films he's cast in just over 20 years

Week 2 
we focus on choices, actors will receive scenes in advance with notes about direction and specific choices he wants to see, you will hear Dean say this over and over- the most prepared actor will always stand out above the others, memorization is key- these scenes are tongue twisters with major choices,  we will start with a Q & A regarding anything discussed in the last week and then segway into the choices for this scene- again actors will be paired up and will do the scene twice with a re-direct

Week 3
this week you will pick from three different scenes, each will have a character breakdown, and what Dean is looking for in the scene- you get to "create" a character, have fun with this, make your choices stand out, be memorable- you will be reading one on one with Coach Dean this time - really push yourself to be memorized, we will do a Q & A at the start and then have specific times scheduled to do your scene

Week 4
This last week we will focus on scenes specific to the actor- what "Coach Dean" wants to see you do role wise- what character he wants to see you portray- You will be assigned a scene and time in advance and you will need to be memorized as you will again be reading on one one with Dean, There will be no Q & A this week as each actor will have a five minute meeting with Dean at the end of their scene to discuss anything pertinent, (career, progress in class, the Buckeyes etc.)

When you sign up for this class be prepared to work and have fun!!!
