Commercial Acting Class – Tragic Figures and Comedic Timing

A partial use of stereotypes can help the audience to better understand your character, at least on a superficial level that can be fleshed out later on in the performance.


Character complexity cannot be ignored, however, or the viewer will rapidly become bored with the portrayal. In some instances, the writer may have written a character to be a stereotype as a device and, if this is case, care must be used when developing the character.


Many actors are known for their sensitivity to the human condition. Actors are people just like everyone else and can suffer just like we can. The danger is in actors believing that they need to seek out suffering to truly be great. In order to succeed, instead, an actor must remain focused, stay passionate, and continually improve on his skills.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

“I was placed in the intense reigns of Charlie Sandlan.  I became a better artist, actor, friend, sibling and daughter because of the studio. Even now, I crave the studio every day. What I learned is present in my work every day. I truly believe in everything they stand for.”

“Maggie taught me that I could control my work, my acting, and to throw all of the bullshit out that I had in my head about ‘what I should be doing’ and to just listen and respond honestly, in the moment. She gave me a craft. She is, quite simply put, THE BEST.”
