Embracing and owning your accent: English as a second language acting coaching

Hi I'm Chloe :) Im an acting coach and working actor. I know how scary and daunting the acting world can be, especially when you're trying to train, work and audition at the same time. Im here to make the training side (of becoming an actor) become a fun and flexible experience. What I can help train you in: - I will help you learn how to apply yourself to scripts, using various different methods which I too have learnt while at Drama school. - ill teach you how to develop a character and find a way to connect, through improvisation. - I use many acting practioners methods, ranging from Uta Hagen to Meisner. Therefore we can work together to find out what works best for you. -Ill help you learn how to match your voice and physicality towards your performance. - we will also build confidence within performing Shakespeare and ill teach you new techniques on how to make a Shakespeare speech modern and exiting! - throughout this process we will work towards finding you 3 contrasting monologues that work for you (2 contemporary and one Shakespeare) which will be perfect for either, acting auditions or drama school auditions. My Acting workshops are a collaborative space, where I will work with you to help you find your ideal approach towards a character, script and performance.

As an actor myself, I know how scary auditions/Drama School auditions can be. With each school requesting different skills and monologues, it can be hard knowing what works well for you as a performer and what will show you off the most. As someone who has been through the process and was successfully offered places at East 15, Lamda and Alra, I would now love to be able to support others through the journey During my lessons, we will focus on your Classical and Contemporary monologues while exploring the best audition techniques for in person or self tapes. I can answer questions, help you find the right scripts for you and support you through the process.

Acting is all about embodying a different character. Be that someone you relate to or a person that is the antithesis of yourself, being able to portray that difference is the core of performance. I believe in the importance of utilising the strengths a person has as an individual to further propel their acting. In this class, I will give you persoanlised feedback and performance direction for whatever role you're playing. This can be used for self tape help, monologue/duologue work, theory, etc. The end result will be a stronger performance that you are able to feel more fluid in performing.

These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat).

✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident).
