Call Actors Training Ground first to verify what classes you would like to bundle together before registering.

On-Camera Technique
We combine two of our 6-week On-Camera Technique Master Classes into one 6-week Master Class. Actors spend the first few weeks learning how to audition for the camera and then spend the remaining weeks gaining experience acting in front of it. Students get practical hands on experience. A must for anyone wanting to increase their skill in on-camera acting.
