Acting Level 2: Scene Study Exploration with Laurel Smith
The best part of acting classes is scene study!
Through character exploration, emotional connection, and script analysis, participants will learn how to bring authenticity and depth to their performances. Each session will emphasize techniques for building strong scene partnerships, developing compelling subtext, and making bold choices that elevate dramatic tension or comedic moments. Actors will work with carefully selected scripts, receiving personalized coaching to refine their instincts and craft. Whether you’re looking to deepen your acting skills, prepare for auditions, or just have fun acting…this course provides the essential tools to create powerful, unforgettable moments on stage.
