Director’s Workshop Part I

Chicago Actors Studio @ 2040 N Elston Ave, Chicago, IL

How to direct actors for stage and screen What separates directors like Quentin Tarantino, Stephen Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, The Coen Brothers, and Paul Thomas Anderson from others?  For one thing, they understand how to work with actors and get a great performance out of them.  Most working directors today are glorified traffic managers who may know how to frame a nice-looking shot, but don't know anything about collaborating with a...

    Mark Stolzenberg makes this class fun for anyone, whether a newcomer or a veteran. He gives pointers throughout the class either before someone does his/her part before the camera or reacting to the part just done. All pointers and help are given to improve the actor's performance. He also opens it up to class members to give their opinions on another's performance. I recommend anyone to take these classes either as a trial or to stick with it.

    Great class! Awesome atmosphere with the perfect guru. These classes are amazing. The best part is it's all on camera and you get to see and discuss with mark at the end of the class what can be done to make it better. High recommended.

    An amazing, inspirational class. Great learning experience. I took the class because CBS recommends it and I really happy that I did. I am a professional film actor and I highly recommend this course. I am going to sign up for a whole year program. Mr. Stolzenberg is an amazing teacher and a genius at what he does. He has great communication skills and he really cares about all his students. The class was a bit full but he managed it well and I learned a lot from watching other students work. The one class I took was chock full of information closeup work, eyelines, projecting your voice on camera, how to be believable, auditioning tips, and using subtext. I am already auditioning better after just one class. A couple of students came in late which was a little disruptive. If you want to be a film and TV actor, you must study with this guy. He will get you working in the industry. Reviewed by a professional Screen Actors Guild Member
