Turnarounds, Triplets, and Rhythm Jokes!
“In this class, we’ll get down to the nitty-gritty of line delivery, and some specific techniques that can help you get the casting directors, directors, and producers you audition for laughing out loud! Make them walk away thinking, Man, that kid was funny!”
* Class is Limited to 13 Actors to Maximize Participant Interaction and Engagement During the Online Sessions*
CLASS BREAKDOWN:
After Registration:
Participants will receive instructions to send in a “slate” video, showing personality allowing Adam to accurately choose scenes for each person
1st Zoom Work Session- You will learn:
1. Identify and deliver the jokes in the script.
It's exciting and impressive to a writer when you can show that you understand their script, and can move the audience with their material. (I heard our showrunner refer to it as "making the words sing!" - Adam)
2. Find unintended comedic gems .
When you apply these techniques, you will find moments in the scene that even the writer didn't see! And it raises you from just another actor saying the lines, to an artist they feel like they can collaborate with; like you are someone who will inspire them, and give them more ideas; which is a vital characteristic of a series regular on a long running show!

3. Give you a set of tools to decode difficult lines.
Sometimes you come across a line in a script that just seems to fall flat. Many times these are actually the lines and moments that you can use to show you individuality and help you stand out in a crowd!
The techniques you'll learn will give a set of tools to methodically approach those lines, and make them work for you!
