Acting Class for Beginners

If you have always wanted to explore acting, EMAS has the perfect class for you. EMAS has developed a series of acting classes just for beginners.  Through exercises, improvisations, and scene work, you will understand the way actors work and acquire a clear, solid and effective approach to the acting craft. Our goal is to get you a set of “acting tools” to draw upon when approaching any role or scene. As a result, you will acquire confidence, self-awareness, and a vivid imagination – all necessities if you are to become an actor in Los Angeles. In this class, beginning actors will explore the 4 major foundations of acting:

  • Character Development
  • Imagination Work
  • Physical and Vocal Development
  • Script Analysis

Classes are small to give each student plenty of “stage time” and personal attention.  So come join us in our upcoming 11-week Acting Foundations class and do that thing you have always wanted to do!
