ACTING FOR FILM & TV: 4 Week On-Camera Class with Roz Coleman, Professional Actress, Film Director and On-Set Coach

Saturday, January 24, 2015, 11am ET / 8am PT

After RAVE reviews...Actors Connection is thrilled to have SUPERSTAR Roz Coleman back teaching our Saturday on-camera class for film and TV. This sought after actress is an incredible acting coach and was recently voted Favorite On Camera Teacher in the Backstage Readers Poll for the 2nd Year in a row! Roz also served as the on-set coach for HBO's hit series In Treatment starring Gabriel Byrne.

In this 4 Week on-camera class, you'll work with Roz Coleman on 4 genres that Film/TV actors encounter in auditions and on-set.

For all four classes, you'll be shooting scenes with a reader to view in class with extensive feedback. Roz will cover the unique elements that each genre poses to the actor and the ways to improve your performance.

Your first week will start off with Sitcom material. Roz will work with you on pacing, proximity and "how to find the funny" for television. The second week, Roz will cover One-Hour Dramas going over elements such as heightened stakes and keeping things conversational. In your third week, you'll work on Dramatic Features adjusting the size of your performance to be more film friendly. In your final week, Roz will work with you on Comedy Features and how to adjust your performance for film while maintaining pace, character and comedic timing.

Throughout the course, Roz will also cover working with a reader, script analysis and some of the challenges of working on set. You'll gain a better understanding of these FOUR genres and how to approach them for future auditions.

Having most recently served as the stand-by for Angela Bassett in THE MOUNTAINTOP, Roz's other Broadway credits include: RADIO GOLF, SEVEN GUITARS, MULE BONE and PIANO LESSON. Film credits include: IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY starring Zach Galifinakis, FRANKIE AND ALICE starring Halle Berry, BROOKLYN'S FINEST starring Richard Gere and Don Cheadle. TV credits include: recurring roles on NBC's KIDNAPPED, HBO's OZ, NEW AMSTERDAM on FOX, WHITE COLLAR, several appearances on LAW & ORDER: SVU and LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT and she was most recently cast in the HBO pilot SPRING FALL. With her film production company: Red Wall Productions, Rosalyn has cast and directed several award winning films that have screened on TV nationwide and in film festivals all over the world, she is currently directing the hit web series JUSTICE. The love she has for acting and directing does not compare to how much she loves teaching.

"The greatest pleasure for me as a teacher is to facilitate the person to reach their humanity. I want my clients to leave the room knowing their personal power as a base to communicate anything that a human is capable of experiencing. The passion, commitment and love of acting I offer to every student and client I work with has turned my job as a teacher/coach into something else. It's not a job; it's a joy." -Roz Coleman

TESTIMONIAL:

"There are moments when you feel yourself immediately grow as an artist. Some light reveals to you something about your craft and yourself that makes you a better actor. Roz Coleman is one of those lights. From the first class, I was moved emotionally. I learned, in a visceral way, how to dissect from a script a personal connection to the material and how to bring it to life for the camera. I believe her class is a must for anyone interested in breaking into TV and Film." -Sean David Johnson (NY Actor, Headshot Photographer, and Aspiring Filmmaker)

"Class was really amazing! Roz has the ability to teach and inspire at the same time! The space, teacher, and students as a whole are just a perfect match!" -Julian Perez
