THE WORK OF THE MODERN ACTOR<\/h2>\n

For today’s actors, the reality of work is often very poorly understood. <\/p>\n

Among those who have the ambition to train regularly, to learn acting techniques that suit them and to develop their vision for their art, very few are well-versed in two fundamental exercises, which are becoming increasingly important: (technical) acting work in front of the camera and preparation for castings.

THE GAME IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA<\/h3>\n

There are a lot of preconceived notions about what is different about performing on camera, as compared to performing on stage (when you know there are differences, and they are big).<\/p>\n

Whether it’s the frame size (wide shot, close-up…), and how to adapt your performance to what’s in the shot or not, the vocal level when wearing a microphone, how to nuance a performance, how to make it easier for the editor in post-production and how to translate what the director is telling us in a way that’s concrete for us, and practical… the experience of acting on a set is invaluable. <\/p>\n

Traditionally, actors acquired their skills “on the job”, by observing other professional actors who were experienced in this exercise, and by making mistakes, sometimes over a very long period of time.<\/p>\n

Our ambition for this program was to bring together Chris Mack’s two specialties – casting preparation and acting in front of the camera – to give the group, in a small group, the essential information in half a day, and to have the actors do a monologue under casting conditions, and then to be able to analyze together their presentation and their performance by giving them a personalized and honest feedback on the two stages of their passage. <\/p>\n

In a friendly and fun group atmosphere, and under the guidance of a specialized professional, each participant will be able to draw inspiration from the presentations and performances of the other actors as well as receive the opinion of the whole group on their own.

PREPARATION FOR CASTINGS<\/h3>\n

Whether it takes place at home (self-tape) or in front of a casting director, there are really two stages on which the actor will be evaluated:<\/p>\n

– his personal presentation: “Make yourself comfortable. Introduce yourself in a few words. Casting directors observe the actor’s natural personality when he’s not acting, and when the stress of performance doesn’t inhibit him too much.<\/p>\n

If he has already sent photos and a demo tape, casting directors are already aware of his physical appearance and what he considered his best acting moments. The purpose of this step is to perceive his energy, and who he is. It’s all about being enjoyable, but above all memorable.<\/p>\n

– his performance: he will present a first performance, or a reading, and this will often be his only opportunity to play with team members before a final decision is made. In this case, it’s all about assessing your relationship with your work. This is where experience, or knowledge of the environment, codes, what is expected, will come into play. Having the tools to present a variety of options, which is essential when shooting to give the editor choice, is of course important, as is a certain technique of acting in front of the camera.

<\/p>\n

CHRIS MACK<\/h3>\n

Acting coach for over 25 years, Chris Mack specializes in acting in front of the camera and casting preparation.<\/p>\n

Bilingual, he has taught at numerous Parisian theater and film schools: The American University of Paris, Les Ateliers du Sudden, Method Acting Center, Bilingual Acting Workshop, Blanche Salant, EICAR…<\/p>\n

After the success of the Masterclass we organized with him, the weekly course “The Working Actor” was created, which still brings together his two strong points, for actors wishing to become professional or boost their career.<\/p>\n

It is adapted on Zoom since 2019, to allow actors who wish to continue to train even if confined, and to specifically practice the increasingly common work of casting and acting in front of the computer camera, or the preparation of self-tapes.
