YOU'VE BEEN CAST is a 4 week acting course from the Director's
point of view.
The first week of class will be your audition for a "part" in a movie. This will be an original
scene from an independent movie script. This is important for your reel because it shows you working in an independent
production.
In the second class you find out YOU'VE BEEN CAST as a lead in a movie scene. You will get
your "sides" and meet your fellow lead. Then you will participate in a "table read" where we break down the story and
begin building your character.
The third week is the walk-through for your scene. We will go through your "blocking" for the
scene, practice dialogue, and determine general lighting set-ups. This is a very important part of the shooting
sequence and is used on every major production.
The final week is the culmination of all your hard work, because now YOU ARE THE STAR as we shoot
your movie scene.
Every student will receive an edited reel of their movie scene. We teach adult and
young actors.
*Below are two scenes from previous beginner classes.
*More videos can be seen on the "Videos" page.
You have a choice to shoot your scene at the YOU'VE BEEN CAST little theatre in Hollywood or
you can provide your own location (withing 15 miles of our little theatre.)

TESTIMONIALS FROM FORMER STUDENTS:
"Taking Daniel's acting class has definitely helped me out. I
currently have a lead role on a feature film and I gotta tell you, I feel so comfortable on set. I really owe it to
this class. He teaches you how to work the camera and how to approach your character. The experience has helped
me build confidence which I truely needed in order to be a better actor."
