Self-tape workshop (online) - "The Actor's Playhouse Antwerp" (TAPA)

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 359.92 C$ /h

In recent years, the audition process for actors via self-submitted tapes has quickly become the preferred method of casting directors. 90% of all 1st round auditions for film, theater and television are now held as self-tapes. This requires actors to develop the appropriate technical skills to perform a successful self-tape audition.

The advantage is that today you can film auditions in the comfort of your own home. you can make as many tries as you want until you have the ideal tape.
In addition, you no longer have to make time to audition, and you save a lot of travel costs.

The workshop consists of 6 working weeks. After these sessions, the actor will have performed 6 scenes from 1 film or play - including 2 takes per scene.
In short, you will have created a total of 12 self-tapes yourself.

In this workshop you will be taken on a journey of discovery into the practical and artistic requirements for making effective self-tapes.

The sessions include practical “do's and don'ts”, as well as thorough and creative script analysis.

Acting lessons Antwerp - The Actor's Playhouse Antwerp (TAPA)

44.99 C$ /h

Acting classes in Antwerp. For actors, by an actor.
I give workshops on location in the youth center Kavka, but I also give self-tape workshops that take place completely digitally.

During these workshops you will become acquainted with the Meisner and Chubbuck acting techniques. These are techniques used by actors such as Robert De Niro, Charlize Theron, Christoph Waltz, Chadwick Boseman, Halle Berry etc.

The lessons help actors identify and overcome physical and emotional barriers. TAPA in collaboration with Kavka offers a space where we can work in a safe and taboo-free environment.

TAPA's mission with these workshops is to let actors use their unique talents and personalities to find the strength to fight for something.
In other words, people are drawn to hope and draw inspiration from how others overcome major obstacles to reach their life purpose. Every character has its obstacles (physical, emotional or psychological) and every scene is a journey of discovery in the search for the power of not giving up.

About our partnership with Hollywood

Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting Workshop is one of the best-known, most influential acting schools in the United States. After 30 years of training for aspiring actors and Hollywood stars (including Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore), she teamed up with Belgium's Badass Intensive Acting Studios last year to expand European. The goal is simple: to bring the authentic energy of Hollywood to Europe, so that even people who cannot afford to move to America themselves can receive the same education.

There are not many acting courses that focus on acting in front of the camera. After all, most schools teach you — implicitly or explicitly — theater techniques and while the art of acting itself remains central, it should be clear that acting for TV and film requires slightly different skills, as it usually involves subtler, smaller expressions and movements. . Film connoisseurs therefore know that the camera tends to notice the smallest emotion.

The most minuscule micro-expressions, the least obvious 'subtext' and the most layered interpretations are visible on both the large and the small screen.

In Belgium, Badass PR's Intensive Acting Courses have long been one of the few acting classes that deal exclusively with acting in front of the camera, supplemented with improvisation.

During the lessons, all the important acting techniques are discussed, including those of Adler, Chekhov, Hagen, Meisner, Practical Aesthetics, Stanislavski and Strasberg, but the goal remains the same: to forget technique in a sense and to act as naturally as you breathe. Badass Intensive Acting Studios' own technology, REPEAT, has also been developed for this.

Ever since author / coach / editor / PR consultant Dirk started teaching acting classes more than 10 years ago, he has tried to offer his students as many opportunities as he could. That went by trial and error: sometimes he failed to get something off the ground, at other times he succeeded in his objectives. Those of his students range from developing more self-confidence to becoming more sociable and getting more opportunities to star in a play, a movie or a TV series. One of the best decisions: partnering with the Hollywood Actors' Studios of Larry, Bobbie and Richie Chance - three of the most famous acting coaches in the film world.

Badass Intensive Acting has been organizing workshops in Los Angeles and Las Vegas for years now to enable its students to learn from the most prestigious instructors, talent agents and casting directors that Los Angeles has on offer. For example, the collaboration with Hollywood Actor's Showcase and Richie's Acting workshop has already paid off.

Of course it depends on many factors whether you can achieve success as an actor — a great deal of luck and a lot of dedication are usually very important — but the students at the Chances can certainly say that they are as prepared as they can be. From improv lessons to working with scripts and intensely emotional lessons, the courses cover the entire spectrum of what the film world needs.

Since August 2019, Badass Intensive Acting Studios and Hollywood Actor's Showcase in Belgium have been flying under a banner. In Belgium, the Chances now work exclusively with Badass Intensive Acting Studios (now 'Powered by Hollywood Actor's Showcase'). The participating students not only receive a discount on the international workshops, but can also enjoy many other benefits.

With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress.

Also don't forget that you can collect points with an UitPas! Early bird discounts are also available for all our workshops. So be quick.

The acting course is continuous. So you can choose which lessons you participate in and which you do not.

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

Hello, I am Kyra. I have both an artistic and educational master in drama at LUCA School of Arts. In addition, I sometimes give acting coaching as a teacher at the drama department of LUCA School of Arts.

I offer two things:

1) Basic camera acting course (Beginner/Intermediate):
How do I behave in front of the camera? What is the difference between acting in a film and acting on stage?
What should I look out for? What are the secrets of castings? And what should I know?

Using a fictional casting, we will investigate together how you come across on screen. We will analyze a scene and work with different camera techniques such as applying different image formats, listening, reacting and thinking on screen so that you can confidently take the (next) step in the world of camera acting.

2) Game coaching in preparation for an audition or shooting day (Beginner/intermediate/advanced):

I coach you in preparing a monologue/scene for an audition or a shooting day.

I am happy to act as a guide for your first steps in the world of (on-camera) acting and auditioning.

✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.

✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.

✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises

In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).

It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories

Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.

With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down

The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.

Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.

La formazione aziendale è una noia? Ogni volta che ti mandano ad un corso preferiresti spararti?
Fallo con un attore!
Con l'APS ti diverti apprendendo!
Acting significa recitare, recitazione, ma anche "to play" significa recitare, suonare, ma anche giocare. Vorrà pur dire qualche cosa... :)
Siamo tutti sempre davanti ad un pubblico! 1, 10, 100, 1000 persone! Chi lo sa meglio di un attore? Chi più di un attore è abituato a parlare in pubblico? E poi... è più divertente!

Partendo dagli elementi essenziali della Comunicazione, le lezioni di APS (Acting Public Speaking) integrano nello specifico del parlare in pubblico molti degli elementi base della recitazione, in una modalità che parte dall'esperienza diretta dell'insegnante.
Lavoreremo quindi sui “classici" elementi base della Comunicazione (verbale, non verbale, paraverbale), nonché sulla preparazione di un discorso pubblico: scegliere i contenuti, le fonti, il setting, e molti degli altri aspetti che rendono un discorso in pubblico un discorso efficace.

Il mio approccio attoriale pone l’attenzione sul respiro, l’uso della voce, le basi di dizione (articolazione ed elementi di ortoepia), l’ascolto e l’osservazione di se stessi e degli altri, la memorizzazione, il corpo, la postura, il contatto col pubblico.
Fai arrivare i tuoi contenuti in una conversazione, in un colloquio di lavoro, una conferenza, un esame, un'interrogazione, una recita (amatoriale e non), quando leggi un tuo scritto! Respira, ascolta, parla al tuo pubblico usando tecniche attoriali.
Divertiti parlando in pubblico. Se ti diverti tu, si divertirà anche chi ti ascolta, e ti ascolterà più volentieri, anche se l'argomento è serissimo!
D’altronde: chi, più di un attore... Ah, l’ho già detto... Ma... ti ho detto che c’è anche da divertirsi..?

ATTENZIONE! L'orario delle lezioni è indicativo: contattami se preferisci altri orari!
