Acting Coaching

Join our on-camera class in Valencia in order to act on-camera in English and work towards gaining more footage for your videobook/reel. Classes are small and students adapt and work on scenes from theater, film and television. An important part of the class: accents/dialects for native/non-native speakers, blocking a scene, rehearsing prior to shooting, learning to change direction at a moment's notice. For scene partners wishing to perform in Spanish, in order to collect more scenes for their videobook, this is also welcome.

Whether you are one, two or more people working on an audition piece or a scene, or perhaps you are an ensemble working on a web-series, theatre production or film, then  Private Coaching  could be for you. Available online or in the studio, we work on various things from technique to dialects, screenplay analysis and interpretation, backstories and bios, memorizing, re-spelling, sense memory and repetition work.

When you are in need of a scene partner or a person to read off-screen for your self tape or audition prep, you can always rely on Melanie or one of the Carlile Acting Studio teachers or alumni. Along with minor coaching/direction, filming, lighting and editing, we can help you get your self tape to standard or prep you for an upcoming studio audition. We can also view your reels, videos, youtube account or self tapes for feedback.

Filmmaking

Every month we will run a 48-hour filmmaking workshop. One or two groups will be guided through the filmmaking process from beginning to end. Writing, pre production, production, post production and viewing of the short films to an audience with the option to then send the film to film festivals through Valencia Cinema Studio. Equipment will be basic, with the main point being that of the storytelling, acting, editing and viewing.

Whether experienced or a novice, actors will meet up once a week to write  screenplays, alone or with a writing partner. Workshop participants will be guided through the writing process, from concept to writing formats and dialogue. Each screenplay will come alive in a reading by fellow actors and writers... this part is the magical part of the process, watching your words become alive! No experience necessary, writing can be in English or Spanish, non-native speaking writers will be assisted with the dialogue and any corrections if they like.

About the studio

Valencia Cinema Studio is run by Melanie C who has been trained in many different acting techniques over the years. She has worked in front of and behind the camera, as well as in casting, acting and dialects coaching. The studio is located in Ruzafa, is beautiful sunny Valencia, Spain. Classes and workshops are offered at the studio and in the online studio as well. Coaching is available for individual actors or an ensemble of actors who are ready to get out there, whether for a specific film or theatre project or to orepare for auditions and booked gigs. The studio focuses on assisting actors with their self tapes, audition prep as well as preparation and confidence to help with the success of a booked gig. The studio focuses on coaching actors with our regular weekly on-camera classes for all levels, however we can also work closely with an actor for their self tapes and audition prep. We take a close look at the script and how to learn lines pre-shoot and we practice taking direction while performing a scene. Our weekly classes are a great way for students to keep up their craft while also collecting reel/videobook footage. The studio offers additional filming and/or editing services if required. The studio also speciailzes in accent reduction and dialects coaching for both native and non-native speaking actors. With Acting in English  the aim is to be able to assist the actor in the transition from their native language to comfortably and naturally communicating, feeling, listening, responding and acting in English. Whether online on the stage or in front of the camera, coaching is a necessary tool for the auditioning or working actor. As well as acting, we offer movement, filmmaking and writing classes and workshops, which are very useful to actors, but also of interest to budding or established writers and filmmakers, or people looking to try something new and creative.
