While developing a career in voice overs and stagefilm-industrial acting is our primary goal, students constantly comment that techniques learned in our classes help them gain a greater understanding of their voice, body and emotions. These communication skills translate into daily living and enrich their personal and business lives.

Elaine Clark holds a BA in theatre/speech communications, is a certified teacher, working actor, author, playwright, producer, director, casting director, and mentor to many.

Having trouble tapping into your emotions and expressing them in your performance? It’s important to know how to unlock your emotions, especially if you’re a left-brainer. After all, it’s not the words you say, but emotions, that connect you with the listener and allow the performance to come alive. This class safely guides you through specific tricks and techniques to unlock your emotions so they can be shared with an audience.

Ready to be amazed at how much your acting skills and confidence levels can increase in just six weeks? You’ll be handed scripts that will challenge and stretch your acting abilities, comedic timing, and overall performance as you create believable relationships with your scene partner and increase the trust and confidence in yourself. It’s an excellent tool in your acting belt for those who are serious about their voice-over and acting career.
