Having a reel is now an acting necessity! The industry wants to see what you are made of before they call you in for an audition. For those who don’t know, a reel is a short compilation of your filmed acting work, even if it’s just one scene! At the Actor’s Studio of Orange County, we produce reels for actors that demonstrate the BEST of their acting, because we focus on preparing the actors for the performance. Actors who join us for the December Reel Intensive (DRI) will receive a polished scene that they can be proud of. DRI is also a great way to assess where you are in your acting and prepare for a real, professional shoot.
Here are links to the previously filmed scenes at the studio: https://www.asooc.com/videoreels
Once you sign up:
-
We will assess what your needs are for the reel. What genre do you want to do, what is your type? What do you want to “sell” about yourself?
-
You will be paired with a partner (of a similar training level and experience)**
-
You will be assigned a scene appropriate for your goals and level.
-
Over 4 sessions, Monday - Thursday, students will be immersed in a professional rehearsal experience where they are expected to prepare their scene, receive acting coaching, direction and blocking and come in the next day ready to go deeper. As always, we emphasize the quality of the performance in a reel, as that is the most important factor, so with the coaching of Ryan, students will craft and polish a performance.
-
On the final day, Saturday, we will film the scenes! We transform every nook and cranny of the studio into a film set that suits your storyline. Each scene is allotted 60 minutes (or more depending) to film their scenes.
-
Within a month, you will receive a polished product.
Custom Written Scene Add-On: Finding the right scene is extremely important, so if you would like to have a scene custom written to suit your aims and needs for the reel, this is the best option for you. Our in-house script writer is certain to get a great script written just for you.
In the case that you become ill or are tested positive for COVID, we would also like to remind you that every class has a Zoom option where you can attend virtually for the day. Please do not hesitate to use that option if you feel that you are sick, if you believe you have been exposed to COVID, or are currently in isolation.
PAYMENT DISCLOSURE
As always, there are no returns or transfers. Tuition reserves your spot in class; all classes fill up, so this is the only way to confirm your spot. Tuition is non-refundable nor transferrable, as class is a commitment to yourself, your scene partner, your instructor and the collective.
PAYMENT INSTALLATION POLICY
If an installment is purchased, a Recurring Authorization Payment Form will be part of the in person paperwork we will need completed. If you sign up over the phone, the form will be sent to you. Complete the form and turn it in before class starts. Without the form, you will not be officially registered in the class and will not be allowed to start your training until you have done so. A $1 charge will be made in order to ensure method of payment is valid. The value will be returned back to the card after the payment goes through.
By opting for Installment Plans, you are making a commitment to pay them as scheduled regardless of absences or attrition; it is a legally binding contract. If such a commitment cannot be made, we recommend paying for the course in full or not enrolling.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
All health related absences will be excused, with or without a doctors note. Our nonrefundable tuition policy will stand; however, if you are unable to complete the course due to illness, we are willing to transfer tuition to another class in the following semester. If you are concerned about attending class in person, we will offer online attendance (via video call.) *This attendance policy is temporary, going into effect as of Winter 2020 semester. This policy is subject to change.
MAKE-UP CLASS POLICY
Intensives and Workshops are individual classes tailored for each semester and do not have make-up policy. If the student has a doctors note for the absence on the day of the Intensive, the studio may provide partial or full credit which must be used within 1 year of the initial purchase.
