STARZ CURRICULUM

FOR THE ULTIMATE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT 

STARZ TV NETWORK curriculum focuses on acting character development to become as skilled, as imaginative and as expressive as you can be.  We have found that what makes young actors ready to take on this challange is talent, vivid immagination, dedication, curiosity, generosity and the ability to grow. Perspective and complex life experiences define how an individual intersects and meets a particular challange. What counts here is courage, playfullness, self-discipline, and the willingness not to know.

COLD READING 
TECHNIQUE

Theatrical cold reading is reading aloud from a script or other text with little or no rehearsal, practice or study in advance. Sometimes also referred to as sight reading, it is a technique by   actors  and other performer in theatre, television and film performance fields. Cold readings are employed frequently in actor auditions to allow the producer to get a general idea of the performing capabilities. Cold reading can also be used in conjuction with improvisation to gaupe a performer's ability to perform new works. 

THE ART OF AUDITIONING

Acting techniques are the heart of every audition. Especially in auditions for Film or TV, you will be asked to do a cold reading. Casting directors will give you a script and will expect you to develop an interesting character right then as you are reading the script "cold" without memorizing it. 90% of the time, you will get a few minutes on your own to read it over.

Commercial auditions are challenging for most actors. You have to create interesting character enough to be remembered. Audition material or acting scene scenarios are at the most 20 seconds, which means you need to be to speed right away!

You are only in the audition room an average of 5 minutes. Just a few minutes to get comfortable, answer questions and take directions. This is your time to shine. Make the best of it and most importantly be ready. The right audition techniques will either make or break your audition! Don't be afraid and take brilliant, bold choices. You want to be true to the character you portray and you want to be remembered. The secret is: Always be on time, come prepared, focus, leave all bad moods at the door, leave your ego at the door, smile and enjoy the process.

IMPROVISATION

Improvisation in acting is performing spontaneously without specific or scripted preparation. It is one of the core techniques used by actors. It stretches the imagination, sparks spontaneity and can lead to unforgettable performances. 

There are number of techniques actors can develop in rehearsal to develop improvisation skills. 

SCENE STUDY

​

During scene study actors learn how to craft the arc of the scene as they practice creating different characters. Timing, focus and taking directions are all part of a scene study. It teaches actors how to break down a script. The actor learns the nuances of the director's scope of the direction of a plot. Scene Study is a chance to take risks in an actors's work. Taking risks includes working on weaknesses as well as strenghts. Scene Study is a great way to keep acguired skills sharp and even learn new ways to approach a part. It is the best way to stay on the top of your skill set so that you are at your best for that big audition.
