What We’ll Work On

Students work hands-on with scenes, mock set environments, filming exercises, and advanced acting technique.

Class work is inspired by techniques such as Meisner and Strasberg. Exercises may explore voice, body, emotional connection, listening, imagination, vulnerability, and truthful behavior.

Actors receive real-time direction, personalized feedback, and practical performance adjustments designed to help refine their work both on stage and in front of the camera.

How Level 2 Works

Unlike Level 1 Acting Essentials, where each class builds directly on the previous week, Level 2 works a little differently.

Level 2 is offered in ongoing 4-week training blocks. Each block has its own focus, scenes, exercises, and takeaways while still continuing to strengthen foundational acting work.

Students may begin with any new 4-week block and continue training block after block as they build, deepen, and strengthen their craft over time.

Each block is different from the last, but the class continues to focus on important foundational material such as scene study, emotional truth, acting technique, voice, body, imagination, connection, and performance skills.

Level 2 is self-paced in the sense that students determine how much they would like to challenge themselves, how deeply they want to work, and how consistently they want to continue their training.

The more students show up, prepare, and commit to the work, the more they will get out of the class.

What to Bring

While we provide everything needed for class and break-time, most students bring:

  • A water bottle
  • Folder for their scripts

We encourage students to bring curiosity and a willingness to collaborate.

Take the Next Step

Acting is more than memorizing lines.

It is learning how to listen, connect, imagine, trust your instincts, and bring truthful behavior to life both on stage and in front of the camera.

Level 2 Acting gives students a place to keep practicing, keep growing, and keep strengthening their craft in a consistent, supportive environment.

Common Questions

  1. Do I need to have taken Level 1 (Acting Essentials) first?
    Not necessarily. Level 2 is designed for students who’ve completed Acting Essentials with us, but we also welcome actors with prior training from elsewhere. If you’re unsure whether Level 2 is the right fit, reach out and we’re happy to help you decide.
  2. Can I join at any 4-week block, or do I need to start from the beginning? You can join at any upcoming block! Since each 4-week session has its own focus while continuing to build foundational skills, there’s no required starting point. You can begin whenever works for your schedule.
  3. Can I keep taking Level 2 block after block?
    Yes! Many students continue training block after block, since each session covers new material while deepening the same core craft. There’s no limit to how many blocks you can take.
  4. How is this different from Acting Essentials?
    Acting Essentials is a structured, beginner-focused sequence where each class builds directly on the last. Level 2 is more advanced and self-paced. Each 4-week block can be taken on its own, and the class is designed for actors who already have some training or experience.
  5. Will I get individual feedback?
    Yes. Students receive real-time direction, personalized feedback, and practical adjustments to help refine their performance both on stage and on camera.
  6. What should I bring?
    Just yourself, comfortable clothing you can move in, and a willingness to dive deeper into the work. We provide all class materials.
  7. Is this class refundable?
    Yes. Let us know before the block begins for a full refund. Otherwise, we’re happy to apply your tuition as a credit toward a future block.
