Have you ever thought you might enjoy acting in front of a camera? Do you have to make professional presentations in front of groups, or even make speeches to crowds? Would you find it beneficial to lose your self-consciousness when the spotlight is on you for any reason?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you might want to consider taking on-camera actor training. This is very different from stage acting and has many useful applications for those who are or want to be in ‘performance’ roles of any kind.
Did you happen to notice that in the questions above I left out the obvious, that being your friends ever told you that you should ‘be in pictures’? I left that one out on purpose. Don’t listen to your friends. They are telling you that for all the wrong reasons, none of which have anything to do with learning the craft of acting. Because if you think acting is all about how you look, you need to pay more attention to TV commercials, movies and TV programs. Every look you can imagine is represented there.
If this idea is interesting to you are in luck if you live in or near Kansas City. One of the finest acting studios in the nation is located right here! It is called Commercial Actors Studio (CAS) and it is owned and operated by none other than Brian Cutler and his wife Jill. If Brian’s name doesn’t ring a bell, visit IMDB and it will start clanging for you.
Brian is a lifetime actor and he studied many years under Charles Conrad, one of the most acclaimed acting teachers in the profession. The Conrad method is uniquely effective and this Kansas City studio is one of only two in the nation that features it. The other studio is in the LA area and is operated by Steve Eastin. Steve also trained in the Conrad school for many years and happens to be a close personal friend of Brian’s.
CAS fees are very reasonable. Brian wants dedicated students to be able to afford the training, so he keeps the cost within reach of almost anyone who is has a job. If you decide to check it out and give it a try, he encourages you to come by and visit a class to watch the process. If you enroll, leave your ego home when you come. It won’t be welcome or happy there. Just come ready to learn, have fun, work hard and learn a new discipline that just might open some wonderful new doors for you that could lead to positive changes in your life beyond anything you can imagine. It won’t be easy, but if it was everyone would be doing it, wouldn’t they?
