Script Analysis

This class explores the very first steps of creating a role. It can be described as the “table work” that the serious actor must do. From the title to the closing scene, the script is analyzed for the writer’s intent, theme and genre. At the same time, research into the time-period, place, socio-economic background of the character, etc. is discussed. This information is then used to begin building a character that serves the script and brings the character to life in a creative, truthful way. The work learned in this class sets the actor on the right course, and is a big step toward the student-actor becoming a creative, independent actor who can handle any type of script with confidence.

Before you book

  • Ask whether you can audit or try a single class before committing to a full session.
  • No class can guarantee representation, auditions or roles. Be cautious of any that suggests it can.
  • Be careful with workshops where you pay to perform for casting directors. California law limits charging performers for audition or job opportunities. Know the rules and red flags.
