    With an emphasis on performance more than lecturing, Brian Cutler Actors Studio [Burbank, CA] has refined a teaching process that trains actors to get out, smash the audition, and get the role. Simplicity is the key and creating working professionals in film and television is the goal. Never cold or intimidating, the learning environment is intimate, unpredictable, and tuned to cultivate spontaneous and instinctive creativity. ​ More than joining a class, students at the Brian Cutler Actors Studio become a part of a network. The studio serves as a family away from family, and the teachers are one element of a dynamic support system. It’s about basic instinct and authentic moments. It’s about unrestricted, on-camera organic performance. It’s about getting the job and living as a professional actor in the real world. Most of all, the Brian Cutler Actors Studio is all about the students. In-person and Zoom classes available.

    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
    EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

      This is doable for small scenes where you dont need to memorize too much. But for long scenes or even long monologues, it's really hard not to be thinking about what you need to say after each sentence

  • @lubruz7164

    Amazing class! The psychology of Howard Roark was very benevolent and independent. He was not feeling resentment against Peter Keating, he was just indifferent to the moral standards that Peter was using. Peter was projecting his own secondhanded insecurities trying to harm Roark, but that never really worked. That little nuance add much more to the acting: the contrast between an aggresive insecure actitud vs a benevolent independent mindset.

    Regarding active listening when it's a monologue and you're the 'only one in the room'; you are never the only one in the room. That voice you hear inside your head is who/what you are listening and responding to. As an actor, make sure that voice is part of the dialogue- not a recitation, regurgitation or an acting instructor.
