ASPIRING TO WORKING ACTORS

ACTING FOUNDATION

Verve's Acting Foundation courses cover every aspect of acting technique, including body, voice, text, emotions, and application.

The four Acting Foundation classes are:

Taken together, these lay the solid foundation necessary for building and strengthening one’s acting technique.

• TELEPROMPTER & HOSTING 
• IMPROV

Looking to stand out in your auditions or to hone a particular acting skill?

At Verve, we offer PRIVATE COACHING for students who want to take their technique and acting careers to the next level. Coaching sessions cater to each individual’s needs, and they can focus on MONOLOGUES, AUDITION PREPARATION, TECHNIQUE and/or CAREER GUIDANCE AND DEVELOPMENT. 

Private coaching is incredibly beneficial for seasoned actors who wish to enhance their auditions or receive customized feedback. It’s also a great way for beginners to become acquainted with the studio before joining a class.

All levels are welcome, ages 8 and up. IN STUDIO and on ZOOM.  BOOK NOW

From one day workouts to a school-year professional training program, Verve offers a robust YOUTH Acting program that fits every actor’s needs.

Verve’s YOUTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM is comprehensive, ongoing training for young actors in middle and high school. Meeting weekly during the school year, classes are by age and level. Starting in Level 1, foundational technique is taught through script analysis, character development, improv, solo work, and partnered scene work. It also is an introduction to Working Actor subjects and professional opportunities in the commercial, TV/sitcom, film, theatre, teleprompter, and voice over fields. With a deeper understanding of technique, Levels 2 - 4 allow students to work on more complex characters, complicated scene work, and the remaining Working Actor course work. 

Verve’s WEEKEND WORKOUTS feature the full complement of the Foundation and Working Actor classes in an à la carte format. They are designed to enhance ongoing training and serve as a supplement for those unable to commit to a weekly class. They rotate through topics and content and keep our actor’s skills in tip-top shape. Weekend workshops and workouts are available individually or in a package.

SUMMER CAMPS for youth include the Film Acting (full-day) and Camera Ready (half-day) camps.
