General Information for Adult Classes

The  Adult sessions are on-going, paying four weeks at a time, limited to fourteen students. Actors may find their scripts, from the files I provide in the studio, on their own, or write their own scenes that are both challenging and age appropriate to their scene partner.

The cost is $160 for four consecutive sessions, with a $40 refundable deposit. If you miss for any reason, it can be made up by coming to two sessions in one week so you never 'lose' the session, as long as you are a current member of The Studio.​

 Weekly Class Rotation 
I have five types of classes for youths that rotate
every week of the on-going four week cycle:

Week 1: Cold Read Audition Technique on Camera
Week 2: Memorized on Camera
Week 3: Cold Read Scene Preparation

            or alternating month

Week 3: Improvisation
Week 4: Wildcard Exercise​

 

The sessions are consecutive, on-going, paying four weeks at a time, limited to ten students, for two hours. 

I am very protective of the mores of the young actors, and I write the scripts to both challenge them and keep the content age appropriate concerning both language and situations.

There are four acting classes for $175;  siblings are offered a discounted price of $10 each, making it $165 per child. If you miss a class, I offer an extra class about once a month for anyone who's missed a class; and missed classes don't expire.

Children and Teens need to work a class to see if they like it, they can't just passively watch.  I offer a single class, $40, as a trial for them to make sure it's a good fit.

Meisner Based Technique

Nancy Chartier Studios training is based on the Meisner Method. It's a very natural way of acting and encourages the actor to trust their instincts, be in the moment, organic, and real.

 I absolutely love watching my Stars grow, and seeing the unique colors and individuality they are bringing to their work by discovering more layers in themselves!

Class Details

I'm Nancy Chartier, and  I am your Coach, you will study directly with me every class. My approach is based on the Meisner Method of Acting, and is very personalized. I created The Studio to be a safe space to learn and grow and make all the mistakes there, so when you are on set, you will know how to problem-solve. These are an on-going acting sessions that cycle every 4 weeks.  Cold Read on Camera, Memorized on Camera, Cold Read Scene Preparation, and of course the Wildcard class, which is different every fourth week and doesn't repeat for at least one year. I use this format as a tool to help each actor dig deep to discover and give voice to 'The Creative' inside, while also balancing all the technical aspects of acting for film. I strive to make sure my Actors are empowered with industry standard practices, proper technique, character development, and scene study, and basically all relevant and current information necessary in the ever changing and mercurial industry. Plus it's a super fun place with awesome talent, come and see for yourself!
